18.01.2022 #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)

16.01.2022 From the Chevron to the Handlebar, we support whatever Mo you grow! Movember is an opportunity for men to learn and talk about their health and take action when needed. Here are the top 5 things men need to know, and do according to Movember Australia. 1 Spend time with people who make you feel good. Stay connected. Your mates are important and spending time with them is good for you. Catch up regularly, check in and make time.... 2 Talk, more. You don’t need to be an expert and you don’t have to be the sole solution, but being there for someone, listening and giving your time can be life-saving. 3 Know the numbers. At 50, talk to your doctor about prostate cancer and whether it’s right for you to have a PSA test. If you are of African or Caribbean descent or have a father or brother with prostate cancer, you should be having this conversation at 45. Know your numbers, know your risk, talk to your doctor. 4 Know thy nuts. Simple. Get to know what’s normal for your testicles. Give them a check regularly and go to the doctor if something doesn’t feel right. 5 Move, more. Add more activity to your day. Do more of what makes you feel good.

13.01.2022 Every five hours, one Australian dies from melanoma. Melanoma occurs when the pigment-producing cells that give colour to the skin become cancerous. Symptoms might include a new, unusual growth or a change in an existing mole. Melanomas can occur anywhere on the body. Having regular skin checks with a GP can pinpoint early signs of skin diseases before they become too advanced.... Here at Myhealth Potts Point, our principal GP, Dr Chad Lim, sub-specialises in Skin Cancer Medicine. With summer just around the corner, book in an appointment for a skin check! https://myhealth.net.au/potts-point/

13.01.2022 Have you ever heard of brain or cognitive training? As we get older, we tend to use our brains less as everyday tasks become familiar and we fall into a thoughtless routine. Think of your brain like your muscles; if you don't use it, you lose it! Studies have shown that older adults who found creative outlets like painting and other art forms improved several aspects of memory like recalling instructions and processing speed.... There are plenty of fun and interesting ways to keep your brain active and training. Whatever activity you choose, make sure it is new and challenging to you! Learn a complex skill game like chess Read a new book Visit a place you've never been before Learn to play a musical instrument Try new foods Join an activity like sport or dance Try a new art or craft Learn a language Download a brain training app
