23.01.2022 With so many sunscreen brands and choices out there it can be a difficult task to know which one to select for the best protection! 1. Choose a sunscreen with a "broad spectrum protection" as they protect against both UVA and UVB rays - UVB rays are the main cause of skin cancers but UVA rays also contribute to skin cancer and premature ageing. All sunscreens do have protection against UVB rays. 2. Ensure your sunscreen of choice has a sun protection factor of SPF 30 or hig...her. The higher SPF numbers mean more protection against UVB rays. Please note that no sunscreen protects you 100%. 3. Select a sunscreen to suit your activity. For swimming note that "Water resistant" does not mean "waterproof." Sunscreens are not fully waterproof or sweat proof, the instructions which tell you how often you should reapply it. 4. If you have sensitive skin, select a sunscreen for sensitive skin or you can talk to your doctor about selecting one with different ingredients. The Cancer Council states that there is clear evidence that regular use of sunscreens helps prevent skin cancer. Long-term studies of sunscreen use in Australia have found no harmful effects of regular use. And to be extra sure that you are fully protected remember to SLIP on sun protective clothing, SLOP on SPF30 or broad-spectrum water resistant sunscreen, SLAP on a broad brim hat, SEEK SHADE when possible and SLIDE on your sunnies! #elitemedcoomera #medicross #medicrossmedical #elitemed #sunsmart #sunscreenchoices

22.01.2022 Don’t neglect your health! Even though we need to stay indoors more nowadays, we’d like to remind you to look after yourself!

22.01.2022 It's Men's Health Week! This week is about reminding men to take care of their health. 7 FACTS MEN NEED TO KNOW: 1. MENTAL WELLNESS: Inactive men are 60% more likely to suffer from depression than those who are active... 2. SLEEP: Men who sleep 7-8 hrs a night have about 60% less risk of fatal heart attack than those who sleep 5 hrs or less 3. DRINKING: Men who consume 4 to 10 drinks a week at most have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, drinking more than 10 drinks a week almost doubles your risk of type 2 diabetes. 4. NUTRITION: Getting your 5-7 servings of fruit and veggies is as simple as a glass of orange juice, one potato, one big carrot, half an avocado, and a pear. 5. ACTIVITY: Men who climb 50 stairs or walk 5 city blocks a day may lower their risk of heart attack by 25%. 6. LIFESTYLE: Only 30% of a man's overall health is determined by his genetics. 70% is controllable through lifestyle. 7. PREVENTABLE: Men live 9 years in poor health - mostly preventable by making small lifestyle changes. Let's encourage men to be champions of their health to live a long, healthy and happy life free of illness or disease! Book in a Men's Health Check with Elite Med today.

18.01.2022 They say a good loud laugh relieves your body of physical tension and stress... And in turn leaves your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes! Laughter also boosts your immune system and can decrease stress hormones and increase immunity cells and infection- fighting antibodies - thereby improving your resistance to disease! A hearty good laugh is also known to improve blood flow to the heart which helps protect you against heart attack or other cardiovascular problems. And yep it even burns calories... So when they say laughter is the best medicine... it really is! #elitemed #elitemedcoomera #laughteristhebestmedicine

05.01.2022 Living with chronic pain can ruin people's lives! National Pain Week is driven by Chronic Pain Australia and aims to raise awareness and solutions to chronic pain. Many people think chronic pain means extreme pain, but it really means how long it lasts rather than how severe it is. It is usually pain that lasts longer than 3 months. Chronic pain doesn't obey the same rules as acute pain, it can be somewhat of a mystery and can be caused by: Ongoing disease states (arthriti...s, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other conditions) A consequence of trauma (surgery, car or work accident, a fall) As a result of minor injury which leaves ongoing pain One of the best forms of pain management is through a multidisciplinary approach: Draw on as many experts as possible to manage your pain (GP, Allied Health Professionals, Pharmacists etc) Take medication when prescribed You don't need to live with the difficult cycle of chronic pain, ask your GP if you are eligible for a GP Management Plan.

Here are some great tips on how we can show kindness to others: Make a Meal for a family or lonely elderly person in need Donate Some Food to a Local Food Bank (a few missing cans from your stash won't hurt)... Talk to Your Neighbour if you see them outside and ask how they are doing Help a Health Care Worker - they may be working long hours and need child care or meals for their families Tip Generously to Servers, Bartenders, Taxi Drivers or any Hourly Rate Workers who rely on hourly income to survive Offer Support - people may lose jobs or feel isolated or emotionally low - chat on the phone while you both enjoy a cup of tea Buy a Gift Card from a Local Business and gift it to someone to use at a later date once COVID19 is behind us - that way you are supporting suffering local businesses! If we pull together we can stay positive during this challenging time!
