Severe Heat Warning ☀🔥☀ After the past week of intense flooding and rain, the skies are opening up to give us Queenslanders a hot end to summer. Temperatures are set to soar and the UV index will be hitting up to 14, so it’s time to get sun smart.
Be sure to slip on sun protective clothing, slop on sunblock spf 30+, slap on a broad brimmed hat, seek shade and slide on wrap around glasses.
And remember to stay out of the sun during peak times from 10am to 3pm to reduce your risk of sun exposure and skin cancer in the future.

Why not start the new school year with a healthy and nutritious lunchbox for your child. 🍽
Pick and mix one tasty option from each of the five core food groups every day for a healthier lunch: 🍇 Fruit (e.g. fresh, frozen, pureed and canned in natural juice)
🌽 Vegetables, legumes and beans
🧀 Milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives
🍗 Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, and legumes/beans
🥖 Grain (cereal) foods
💦 Plain water
Wishing you all a happy and healthy start to the new academic year.

🇳🇿 Happy Australia Day 🇳🇿 Whether you’re on the beach or going for a mountain hike this long weekend, remember, temperatures are soaring so keep hydrated.💦 It’s recommended that men drink 10 cups of fluid a day and women to drink 8, but if you’re exercising or sweating a lot you’ll need more.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It kick starts your metabolism after the overnight fast and replaces your energy stores to help get you going for the day ahead.
I like starting my day with a healthy bowl of porridge. 🥣 Oats are packed with nutrients, from iron to folate and are high in fiber which means they’ll keep me full until lunchtime, helping to avoid that mid morning slump.
