24.01.2022 There’s always a debate around this time of year as to whether or not we should make New Year's Resolutions. Instead of turning it into a guilt trip for what we haven't done, this year take note of what has gone well and what you have achieved. From that, decide where you want to be in the next 12 months and what else you want to achieve. You can't get anywhere if you've got no where to go, nor can you keep track what you have achieved if there's nothing positive to compare... it to. Let's have a great year!

23.01.2022 Allergies or COVID-19? September brings with it Spring time which is also the most common time of the year to suffer from allergies.

20.01.2022 According to Healthdirect, 4 in 10 Australian adults dont get enough sleep and feel tired as a result. Many of us also think that were getting enough sleep but dont realise that were 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.
