20.01.2022 Allergies or COVID-19? September brings with it Spring time which is also the most common time of the year to suffer from allergies. So what is the difference between allergies and COVID-19?... You can keep in mind what your normal allergy symptoms are but it's also good to be aware that: - Viral symptoms are progressive and worsen quickly, and - Allergies are reactive to the environment and normally come and go. If you're unsure of your symptoms, give us a call to speak with a GP and get tested for COVID-19. #spring #allergies #covid19

12.01.2022 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.

11.01.2022 According to Healthdirect, 4 in 10 Australian adults don't get enough sleep and feel tired as a result. Many of us also think that we're getting enough sleep but don't realise that we're not getting quality sleep which means that we still feel tired. So what is quality sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, the key determinants of quality sleep are:... - Sleeping more time while in bed (at least 85 percent of the total time) - Falling asleep in 30 minutes or less - Waking up no more than once per night; and - Being awake for 20 minutes or less after initially falling asleep. Some ways of making sure that you get a good night of quality sleep include optimising your bedroom, not eating late at night and reassessing your alcohol intake. You can see more ways to get better sleep here: https://www.healthline.com/nutriti/17-tips-to-sleep-better If sleep is an issue for you, talk to one our GPs, they can help. #qualitysleep #selfcare #yourfamilydoctor

06.01.2022 Did you know? When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins come into play too. The endorphins act as a mild pain reliever, whereas the serotonin is an antidepressant. So, not only does smiling make you feel better but it's free!... You can read more about the health benefits of smiling here: https://www.sclhealth.org//the-real-health-benefits-of-sm/# #smilemore #smilingmakesitbetter

05.01.2022 Keep a dedicated work space. To increase productivity and make sure that you maintain separation between your personal and work life, create a space which is solely dedicated to working.
