24.01.2022 On the fifth day of Christmas, Myhealth said to me... Giving Makes you Happy! An American study has proven that your brain prefers to give, rather than receive. When giving and receiving gifts, our brain releases a hormone called dopamine that makes us feel good.

23.01.2022 On the sixth day of Christmas, Myhealth said to me... Gift Yourself With Greater Control This Holiday Season! It’s no surprise that the holiday season can get a little rowdy with all the great company, food and drinks. Amongst this fun, we can often lose track of how much alcohol we are really consuming. ... To help you drink responsibly and stay in control this holiday season, here are some pro-tips from the Myhealth team; Tip 1: Count your standard drinks. - Remember, ONE standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol. This could be a total of 5 glasses, or a single shot... Always be mindful and ask your bartender if you are ever in doubt. Tip 2: Pace yourself. - You know your body best. Trust your gut and take your time when drinking. Tip 3: Try low-alcohol alternatives. - Not all drinks contain the same amount of alcohol, to help with the tips above, try opting for lighter options. Always remember that your GP is there to assist you with all your health concerns, including alcohol consumption queries. - Nurse Melissa, Myhealth Macarthur Square

17.01.2022 Sadly, 1 in 20 children are born with a birth defect or genetic disease. Genetic diseases are caused by errors in our DNA, the instructions for making ‘us’. DNA is the source of information for all the cells in our body, telling them what to do every second of every day. When something goes wrong with those instructions, it means some part of our body doesn’t function properly, leading to a life-threatening genetic disease like cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, metabol...ic disorders or even cancer. The best way to treat or cure many of these conditions is to correct the problem at the source, to correct the DNA. That’s what gene therapy does. This August we are supporting the Children's Medical Research Institute and Jeans for Genes Day by raising vital funds for research and gene therapy. #jeansforgenesau We will have a donation box at reception if you are able to spare some change when you come in for your appointment or feel free to donate online via this link: https://www.myjeansforgenes.org.au/6030415myhealth

On this day we tend to enjoy the Christmas feast that has been made for us, but the next day everyone feels the aftermath of overeating; bloated and exhausted with a slight bit of guilt. ... This Christmas be aware of choosing healthier options, avoid snacking on the Christmas chocolates, watch your portion sizes and as tempting as the last slice of cake can be, leave it alone.

Swapping in a water drink ensures you manage the number of beverages you indulge in. This can cut excess calories and make sure you wake up the next day feeling ready to go.

10.01.2022 #WeRememberThem In Flanders fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow... Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (18721918)
