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.

Take care and stay healthy 😘

How clean is the air you breath?

Although we have very clean air in Australia, we still can’t beat our Swedish friends off the top spot.

Fuel combustion has a large impact on air pollution, in Melbourne alone, around 75% of air pollution is caused by vehicle emissions.

Breathing in polluted air can impact all of us, it’s linked to higher rates of cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung diseases such as asthma.

So the next time you step out, take a moment to think, what can I do today to help myself tomorrow.

Take care and stay healthy 😘
