16.01.2022 PARKINSON'S AWARENESS MONTH It is estimated that there are about 100,000 people living with Parkinson’s in Australia . It affects both men and women. Men develop Parkinson’s a little more commonly than women although the reason for this is not yet known. One in seven people living with Parkinson’s is under the age of 40, but the average age of diagnosis is around 65 years. The prevalence of Parkinson’s worldwide varies from between 1 in 1000 to 2 in 1000 with the figure increasing to 1 in 100 over the age of 60.

12.01.2022 About 3080 Australians are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year. More than 80% are over the age of 60. Pancreatic cancer was estimated to be the tenth most common cancer in males and ninth most common in females in Australia during 2017. Risk factors include: - Smoking (cigarette smokers are about twice as likely to develop pancreatic cancer)... - Ageing - Type 2 diabetes - Obesity - Pancreatitis (long-term inflammation of the pancreas) - Certain types of cysts in the pancreatic duct known as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) these should be assessed by an appropriate specialist - Drinking too much alcohol - Family history and inherited conditions The statistics around pancreatic cancer are heartbreaking, and quite frankly, frightening. At #PurpleOurWorld, our aim is to get the world talking about pancreatic cancer and ultimately change these horrible numbers. We want to turn our world purple!

11.01.2022 Probiotics & Antibiotics Fact: A quick rule of thumb is to take your probiotic two hours before or two hours after taking your antibiotic. This will give sufficient time for the antibiotic to work while not killing off the beneficial bacteria. #healthygutisagoodgut #theyreallyarefriends #alwaysconsultyourgp #protectyourimmunesystem
