25.01.2022 Children and adolescents, whether they’re athletes or not, can successfully and safely improve their overall health and function with strength training. Whilst children lifting weights can be a hot topic among parents, exercise professionals are saying yes, they should in order to reap the wide range of physical health benefits it provides. However, it needs to be done correctly.... It’s not uncommon for parents to have their reservations about their child lifting weights. Concerns about damage to growth plates, stunting their height, or becoming injured are usually at the forefront of their minds. However, as more research comes to light, these notions are being disproved and it’s becoming increasingly necessary for children to lift weights and undertake strength training, especially when they are supervised by an accredited exercise professional. For those parents who want their child to start strength training safely, it’s always important to get advice from an expert. Contact us today to book an appointment with one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists. 03 6122 0150.

22.01.2022 Friendly reminder

22.01.2022 Today is World's Diabetes Day. And the theme for this year is The Nurse and Diabetes. The campaign aims to raise awareness around the crucial role that nurses play in supporting people living with diabetes.... Nurses currently account for over half of the global health workforce. They do outstanding work to support people living with a wide range of health concerns. People who either live with diabetes or are at risk of developing the condition need their support too. People living with diabetes face a number of challenges, and education is vital to equip nurses with the skills to support them. As the number of people with diabetes continues to rise across the world, the role of nurses and other health professional support staff becomes increasingly important in managing the impact of the condition. At Your Health Hub, our diabetes educator makes managing diabetes easier. They work with patients to develop a plan to stay healthy, and give them the tools and ongoing support to make that plan a regular part of their life. Phone us on 03 6122 0150 to book an appointment with one of our Credentialled Diabetes Educators or book online on our website.

17.01.2022 Calcium and Women's Health Premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, describes a range of physical and psychological symptoms that are some women experience before menstruation. A recently published systematic review examined the role of calcium and vitamin D in PMS, and showed that inadequate levels of calcium, especially in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle can exacerbate PMS symptoms.... It also showed that women whose diets were high in calcium-rich foods were much less likely to experience PMS symptoms compared to other women. Calcium can help with reducing menstrual cramps, fluid retention and food cravings. The review concluded that diets rich in calcium or that included the use of calcium supplementation was effective in eliminating or improving PMS symptoms.

07.01.2022 The cheapest and most effective countermeasure to this decline is choosing to be physically active at every age. For Australians aged 65 and over, physical activity becomes important. Exercise provides a wide range of benefits, the main being the management and treatment of chronic conditions, and with older age comes greater incidence of chronic illness and disease.... It’s important to remember that for older people who are starting to re-engage in physical activity after a period of time, or for the first time ever, they should consult with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist or their GP. You will be encouraged to start at a level that is easily manageable and then gradually build up to the recommended amount, type and frequency of activity.

01.01.2022 With over 1.2 million Australians affected by osteoporosis, its easy to see why looking after bone health is important as you age. Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals, such as calcium, more quickly than the body can replace them, causing a loss of bone thickness (bone density). Regular physical activity and exercise play an important role in maintaining healthy bones.... At Your Health Hub, our Build Your Bones class is designed to help improve bone density, muscular strength, coordination, and balance. Exercises and movements in this class are designed to assist in the maintenance of your quality of life and help reduce risks associated with low bone density and falls. This class consists of free weight exercises, bodyweight exercises, balancing and impact exercises. Read more: http://ow.ly/kRhM50AR1JF #HealthyBonesActionWeek2020 #Osteoporosis
