24.01.2022 This week is Men’s Health Week and I heard something today that I would like to share that is helping men to connect and form support to each other. It’s called the Triple H Exercise. In a group, each person takes it in turn sharing the following; A Hero: Someone that has inspired them. Who are they and what did they do? A Hardship: What’s the most challenging thing that they’ve been through?... A Highlight: What’s their greatest achievement? If you are leading a team of people you go first. Or you can do this in conversation with a friend. It is based on the theory that when you share those things you create psychological safety, and are on the way to building a good relationship and more importantly trust. The Triple H Exercise was introduced to Jason’s favourite football team Richmond in 2017. Damien Hardwick, the coach went first, then Trent Cotchin, the teams captain and so on. Tim Livingstone of Richmond said "It's the old saying, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. #winnettspecialistgroup #makethechangetoday #menshealthweek

24.01.2022 Wow doesn’t this look delicious? Kiwis are high in Vitamin C and dietary fibre and provide a variety of health benefits. This tart fruit can support heart health, digestion and our immune system. More importantly kiwi are high fibre and low calorie content which makes them an ideal food for weight loss. Repost @nutritionsolutionsvictoria #winnettspecialistgroup #makethechangetoday #bariatricsurgeon Ingredients 12 - 16 Kiwi Fruit, well ripened 500ml clear apple juice o...r water 2 teaspoons caster sugar (only use if kiwi fruit are very tart/sour) Method 1. Peel all kiwi fruit. Slice 5mm thick slices of kiwi fruit allowing one slice per iceblock. 2. Place one slice of kiwifruit into each ice block mold. Blitz the remaining kiwi fruit in a food processor (remembering to blitz just long enough to puree the green flesh but not the little black seeds). 3. Add either the apple juice or water and stir to combine. 4. Fill each of your iceblock molds to the recommended fill level and place into the freezer. Voila! . . . . . #healthyfood #kiwifruitcake #kiwifruitlover #healthylifestyle #kiwifruittea #kiwifruitsmoothie #kiwifruitpicking #kiwifruit_export #kiwifruits #kiwifruittart #kiwifruitcountry #kiwifruitseason #kiwifruitjuice #goldkiwifruit #goldenkiwifruit #nzkiwifruit #newzealandkiwifruit #breakfastrecipes #kiwifruitexport #kiwifruit #kiwifruitoc #fruits #kiwifruitjam #weightloss #weightlosssurgeryaustralia #bariatricsurgery #bariatricfood See more

19.01.2022 Adjustable Gastric Band or The LAP-BAND, is a weight-loss surgical procedure utilising an adjustable band placed around the top portion of the stomach that works by inducing a feeling of fullness by triggering signals to be sent to the brain. So from Day 1 you won’t feel as hungry and you won’t be able to eat as much as you used to. The LAP-BANDhelps patients gradually lose excess weight. This makes it a much more desirable surgery in many cases since it is less invasi...ve and has a faster recovery time. This type of procedure has been used in weight-loss since 1994 and over 850,000 lap-band procedures have been completed globally to-date. To see if you qualify for surgery and to learn more go to www.winnettspecialistgroup.com.au or call 9417 1555. #winnettspecialistgroup #bariatricsurgeon #makethechangetoday . . . . . #lapbandsurgerycostinindia #lapbandsurgeryjourney #wlscommunityvsg #bariatricsleeve #wls #vsgcommunity #lapbandsurgeryalwayspossibility #lapbandsurgeryremoval #gastricsleevejourney #bariatricfamily #lapbandsurgerysavedmylife #verticalsleevegastrectomy #lapbandsurgeryindelhi #lapbandsurgeryrecovery #vsg #bariatricsurgery #vsgsupport #weightlossjourney #lapbandsurgeryworkedforme #weightlosssurgery #lapbandsurgeryinindia #wlscommunity #vsgjourney #lapbandsurgerycost #bariatricsurgerysupport #lapbandaustralia

13.01.2022 The weather is getting warmer and summer is coming. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Anyone can be at risk of developing skin cancer, though the risk increases as you get older. The sooner a skin cancer is identified and treated, the better your chance of avoiding surgery or, in the case of a serious melanoma or other skin cancer, taking effective action. It is also a good idea to talk to your doctor about your level of risk and for advic...e on early detection. Wear sun-protective clothing - that covers as much skin as possible. Use a broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30 sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. Sunscreen should never be used to extend the time you spend in the sun. Wear a hat - that protects your face, head, neck and ears. #winnettspecialistgroup #makethechangetoday . . . . . #beach #summer #spf #beachwear #bariatricbabes #sailing #sunprotection #wlscommunity #skincaretips #australia #bariatriclife #sunsafe #skincancer #sunscreen #cancer #hats #protectyourskin #invisibleimpact #sunsafety #sun #summervibes #skincanceractionweek #melanoma #melbourne #skincare

As we all know, kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divided races, religion, politics, and gender. Having spent the most part of the year in lockdown, this year’s theme of EMPATHY, feeling the pains of others and touching lives positively has been put into action by many.

08.01.2022 Eat a rainbow Each colour vegetable carries its own set of unique disease fighting chemicals called phytochemicals. Red vegetables are full of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce the risk of cancer and keep our heart healthy.... purple/blue vegetables contain Anthocyanin that has antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage and can help reduce the risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease. Yellow/orange vegetables contain Carotenoids which helps maintain healthy mucous membranes and healthy eyes. Green vegetables contain a range of phytochemicals including carotenoids, indoles and saponins, all of which have anti-cancer properties. Leafy greens such as spinach and broccoli are also excellent sources of folate.
