22.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? When we sleep, cerebral spinal fluid flows through the brain and removes brain cell waste that includes amyloid beta protein. This flow occurs only when we sleep. An amyloid beta protein build up can be involved in getting Alzheimer's Disease.... This just gives us another reason to ensure that we get enough sleep! #sleepwell

Make sure to take care of yourself!... #selfcare #mentalhealth #takecareofyourself #dontwaitmate

17.01.2022 It's time for work from home bingo! How many of these can you cross off?

16.01.2022 If we've learnt anything from this year it's that this world can be unpredictable but what we can control is how we react to it. 2020 is almost over so let's start looking to what we will achieve next year. It may not be what we were planning at the start of the year, but that's ok. Let's make the most of what we have right here and now.... #2020isalmostover #makethemostoflife #liveinthemoment

15.01.2022 Holiday breaks are here! Make sure not to forget to make time for yourself. We've all been through a lot and definitely deserve time to relax, refresh, and recharge! Make room to treat yourself with a cup of coffee and a moment of peace away from the digital world

15.01.2022 Sometimes we just need to treat ourselves! Food shouldn't be something that we, "can't have," and instead should be enjoyed! The key is to have a balanced diet and eat in moderation. If you need help keeping your diet and body balanced, please see your GP.

14.01.2022 Coming into Summer and the holiday season can be a very busy and stressful time when burnout can easily occur. It's ok to take a mental and physical break to rest and recuperate. Look after yourself.... #selfcare #mentalhealth #dontwaitmate

14.01.2022 Today is National Toothache Day which is here to remind us all to have a dental check up before it becomes an emergency.

12.01.2022 Although the idea of exercising sounds tiring, studies prove that exercising actually gives us more energy. So, start the weekend off right with a walk this afternoon! If you're feeling low in energy then that might be something you need to talk to your GP about. Feel free to reach out whenever you'd like. #dontwaitemate

10.01.2022 Your health is always important, not just to you. The implications that it can have on your loved ones are not worth the risk. Make sure to always stay healthy.

10.01.2022 Did you know that being grateful can help you to sleep more soundly? It's good for both physical and mental wellness and it's free! So what are you thankful for today?

09.01.2022 It's me-time time! Pause and reset once in a while and take a moment to acknowledge the things that have gone right!

08.01.2022 It's easy to forget the little wins of life and become overwhelmed with the big things. No matter how small, a win is a win and should be celebrated. #lifeisagame #sundaymood

07.01.2022 Angina is fairly common but can be difficult to distinguish from other types of chest pain. If this is something that concerns you, please contact your local GP. #medicalterminology

07.01.2022 As of May there were nearly 100,000 fewer GP visits. By December that number is expected to be much larger which is highly concerning. It's very important that you don't miss an appointment or hold off making an appointment because of COVID-19. We are safely conducting face-to-face appointments therefore there is no reason to hold off. Please book in to see your GP. #dontwaitmate

06.01.2022 Just some of the benefits of walking daily include: - increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness - reduced risk of heart disease and stroke - improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes... - stronger bones and improved balance - increased muscle strength and endurance - reduced body fat. Make time to put your body first, and get out for a walk each day! You can see more about the benefits of walking here: https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au//walking-for-good-heal

06.01.2022 When you quite smoking, your body starts healing. But that's easier said than done. It's normal to need some help quitting, so please reach out. We can help you to find the way that will work for you. #quitsmoking #dontwaitmate

05.01.2022 A large amount of our natural Vitamin D comes directly from the sun. But as our days get shorter and we lose more sunlight it becomes more difficult to absorb. Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption and immune system support. If this is something that you're concerned about or even interested in, contact your local GP.

05.01.2022 Start 'em young! It's important to make sure that your local dentist is a child-friendly clinic, so that as parents you know your children are taken care of when their tooth falls out or if there's any other emergency. Contact us for more information or feel free to consult with your dentist. We'd be happy to help!

03.01.2022 Hypotension (or low blood pressure) can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded and/or dehydrated or give you blurry vision or a lack of concentration to name a few symptoms. If you think that you, or someone you know, might be exhibiting signs of hypotension, please contact your GP. #dontwaitmate #hypotension #themoreyouknow #knowledge

01.01.2022 When was the last time you enjoyed a good book? Reading is proven to improve brain connectivity and fight depression symptoms, but it seems to be getting less common to pick up a book. Let's make it popular again. Instead of watching TV or a movie, let's read a book!... #letsreadmore #knowledgeispower #readmorebooks

01.01.2022 There’s always a debate around this time of year as to whether or not we should make New Year's Resolutions. Instead of turning it into a guilt trip for what we haven't done, this year take note of what has gone well and what you have achieved. From that, decide where you want to be in the next 12 months and what else you want to achieve. You can't get anywhere if you've got no where to go, nor can you keep track what you have achieved if there's nothing positive to compare... it to. Let's have a great year!
