14.01.2022 COVID-19 Update Dear Ubuntu Clients, Along with all of you, we have spent the last month or two learning about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it is impacting the world. The progression of the virus is causing significant concern regarding our daily routine for the near future.... As a medical practice, we are taking steps to limit and mitigate the impact of the virus on our staff, practitioners and clients. We are monitoring our government agencies and following their guidelines in implementing new, and modifying existing, operational procedures. The safety of our clients, staff and practitioners is our highest priority. We are able to offer telephone consultations with some of our practitioners during this time. Please telephone the surgery before you come in so we can give you up to date information. If you are seeking information on COVID-19, call the Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080. The line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Queensland Government has detailed information for the community on its website about COVID-19 including what it is, symptoms and prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Here's the link: https://www.health.qld.gov.au//novel-coronavirus-covid-19- Further information can be obtained by calling 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84). If you believe that you have been exposed to COVID-19, phone Ubuntu on 3857 3777 or your local health service before attending. Protecting Yourself And Others From COVID-19 The Australian Government Department of Health has information about protecting yourself and others from COVID-19. Novel coronavirus is transmitted from person to person, usually when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Transmission may occur from contaminated surfaces, so it is important to frequently wash your hands. To protect yourself and others from infection practice good hand and respiratory hygiene including: cleaning hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rubs covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing avoiding contact with anyone who has symptoms such as fever, a cough, sore throat, fatigue, and shortness of breath staying home if you are unwell.

09.01.2022 It’s a fact: in many cases, physical activity can be as beneficial to your heart as medication. You may wonder, why is exercise so good for your health? Well, let us count the ways. One obvious answer is that exercise burns calories, which can help you maintain or reach a healthy weight. Exercising regularly paired with a healthy diet also improves factors linked to cardiovascular health, resulting in lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol levels, and better blood sugar... regulation. But that’s not all! Exercise also helps your sympathetic nervous system (which controls your heart rate and blood pressure) to be less reactive. The list could still go on, that’s why we decided to illustrate all the key benefits of exercising for your heart in an infographic. * All content and media on the Ubuntu Medical Facebook page is created and published online for informational purposes only.

01.01.2022 Junk foods are loaded with sugar, salt, saturated and trans fat while being low in fruit, vegetables, fibre and wholegrains. Eating junk foods regularly can make you put on weight. This puts you at risk of health conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and fatty liver disease. Alarmingly, Australian adults are getting more than a third of their daily energy intake from junk food. This includes foods and drinks like fast foods meals, sweet bakery products,... pastry based savoury foods, chocolate, crisps, processed meat, sugary drinks and alcoholic drinks. * All content and media on the Ubuntu Medical Facebook page is created and published online for informational purposes only.
