24.01.2022 Do you ever wonder how to read food labels? Being able to read Nutrition Information Panels allows you to choose foods wisely and therefore be able to debunk any health claims or health halos on the packaging. When looking at Nutrition Information Panels read the per 100g column for comparing foods. Be careful with serving size, the serving size may not always be the portion size that you will eat!! Ingredients are also listed in order from greatest to smalles...t by weight FAT: So looking at total fat choose foods with <10g per 100g. Certain foods require different levels of fat, thefore for; milk, yoghurt and icecream, choose <2g per 100g. For cheese, choose less than 15g per 100g. For Saturated Fat aim for <3g per 100g. SUGARS: avoiding sugar is not completely necessary, avoiding larger amounts is best! However if the sugar content is >15g per 100g column, check the sugar and where it is listed on the ingredients list. It may be under an alternative name to sugar. FIBRE: Fibre is soo important for gut and bowel health and making us regular when it is listed choose breads and cereals with >3g per serve. SODIUM: or salt! When looking choose foods with <120mg per 100g as the best option, foods with <400mg per 100g are good. #unifiedhealth #alliedhealth #physiotherapy #occupationaltherapy #dietetics #exercisephysiology #homenursing #agedcare #communityhealth #privatepractice #rehabilitation #painmanagement #newsouthwales #northernrivers #midnorthcoast #hunter #sydney #act #riverina See more

23.01.2022 Due to the complexity of chronic pain it has been recommended treatment should focus on a biopsychosocial approach. What this means is that doctors and therapists need to consider the biological, psychological and social factors that contribute to pain and how these can be improved. We need to consider what influences our pain and develop strategies to both manage and overcome it. Treatment often involves; Education about pain Physiotherapy for exercise... GP and pain specialist involvement Psychologist Meditation/relaxation for stress & anxiety Social interaction and activity participation Group exercise classes are a great way to reduce stress, improve our mood, increase social interaction and train our body to move and be strong. #unifiedhealth #alliedhealth #physiotherapy #occupationaltherapy #dietetics #exercisephysiology #homenursing #speechpathologist #agedcare #communityhealth #privatepractice #rehabilitation #painmanagement #newsouthwales #northernrivers #midnorthcoast #hunter #sydney #act #riverina See more

21.01.2022 Communication disability is primarily #invisible, unseen and out of sight.

Only 38% of people with communication disability are participating in the workforce compared with 80% of people without communication disability. Speech Pathology week is the opportunity to make all Aust...ralians aware of the 1.2 million Australians in our community who have a communication disability. If you think yourself or a family member may require support from a Speech Pathologist to communicate with confidence, contact Unified Health today!

20.01.2022 This week is National pain week and it is estimated up to 1 in 3 Australians are living with chronic pain. By definition chronic pain refers to pain lasting for longer than 3 months, beyond the expected healing time. It is present across all age groups, both sexes and all walks of life costing up to $139 billion a year in Australia.... Chronic pain is complex as it involves multiple body systems, in particular a hyper sensitised nervous system, and is associated with disability, reduced function, reduced quality of life, social isolation, depression, anxiety and increased medical costs. Fortunately, chronic pain can be managed and treated allowing sufferers to take back control of their lives. Dont hesitate to contact us to get the ball rolling. #unifiedhealth #alliedhealth #physiotherapy #occupationaltherapy #dietetics #exercisephysiology #homenursing #speechpathologist #agedcare #communityhealth #privatepractice #rehabilitation #painmanagement #newsouthwales #northernrivers #midnorthcoast #hunter #sydney #act #riverina See more

20.01.2022 The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art - Davinci Due to our reliance on chairs and inappropriate footwear, a lot of people suffer from foot pain. There are 26 bones and 33 joints in the human foot which highlights that are feet are meant to move. When we dont move our feet ( put them in shoes) they get stiff, when they get stiff, the muscles become weak = weak, stiff feet = painful feet. Luckily feet are very robust! What should we do?... Go barefoot more often: more sensory input from your feet which will improve your balance and strengthen the intrinsic muscles in your feet. Practice spreading / scrunching your toes, moving your ankle. #unifiedhealth #alliedhealth #physiotherapy #occupationaltherapy #dietetics #exercisephysiology #homenursing #agedcare #communityhealth #privatepractice #rehabilitation #painmanagement #newsouthwales #northernrivers #midnorthcoast #hunter #sydney #act #riverina See more
