Take it easy 😌
Sometimes we get carried away with the hustle and bustle of life and make little time to reflect and think about our day. Whilst smashing goals is great, it’s also really important to look after your mindset.
So, will you spare 5 minutes of your time to take a breather?

What’s your favourite fruit? 🍐
Fruit is packed with great minerals and vitamins helping us to keep our health on track. Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits in a pear. Pears are a great source of vitamin C (which is vital for the body’s healing process), vitamin K (useful for blood clotting and building bones) and potassium (helps to regulate the heartbeat).
It contains a number of other vitamins and minerals as well as being an excellent source of fibre. Fibre is essential to keep our digestive system healthy.
It’s recommended that most adults consume 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit a day, where one medium pear is equal to one cup.
So what are you waiting for, have you had your fruit today?

Inspiring the future 👊
I have been in a fortunate position to be able to educate and inspire the doctors of tomorrow a number of times in my career so far. As a student myself once, I valued hearing about the experience of others, as often more could be learned from this than books.
What piece of advice would you give to others knowing what you know now?

What’s in your shopping trolley? 🍇
Australia is blessed with fabulous climates and fertile soil. We are so lucky to have access to local fruit and veg helping to keep food tasting as it should.
It’s surprising therefore, to know that most Australians eat only about half of the recommended quantity of fruit.
For an average adult, 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables are recommended on a daily basis.
Not only are fruit and veg packed with vitamins and minerals essential to good health, but they contain fibre which is thought to reduce the risk of some cancers, such as colorectal cancer.
So next time you’re out shopping be sure to pop some colourful fruit and veg in your basket.

Time for a check up?
Getting a simple check up of your blood pressure and heart can help to diagnose and treat heart disease, which is one of Australia’s largest health problems.
To reduce your risk of heart disease be sure to live an active and healthy lifestyle, including physical exercise, on the recommendation of your doctor, having a balanced and healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight.
For your own assessment please pop by and see me in clinic.
