A new week brings new opportunities and achievements 💪

Did you know that walking at a moderate pace around the shopping mall can help to burn calories.
So next time you’re out and about getting the latest handbag or even just window shopping, remember that you’re also keeping your body happy by keeping active.
With over 19,000 Australians dying of smoking related diseases each year, making a change to stop smoking this year is a great goal.
Did you know that when you stop smoking a number of positive impacts happen to your body? Within 24 hours blood levels of Carbon Monoxide are dramatically reduced, meaning more oxygen can reach vital organs. With long term smoking cessation over 10 years, the risk of lung cancer is less than half that of person who continues to smoke.
It’s never too late to make a positive change to your body. Please pop by and see me in clinic for information and help.

Not the mosquitos. As the days get longer, the nights become warmer, we’re not the only ones enjoying the summer climate.
Here are some tips to help you enjoy a bite free summer:
- Remove any stagnant buckets of rain water
- Clean and dispose of palm fronds as mossies like to breed here
- Keep lawns mowed
- Use a mosquito repellant safely according to instructions
- Wear light coloured clothing
- Stay indoors during dusk and dawn
- Try a natural repellent such as citronella oil
Sometimes mosquitos can cause infections to humans, so it’s important to see your doctor if you are suffering from symptoms such as muscular pains, rash, headaches or a fever.
