🛌 The Importance of Quality Sleep for Your Health 🛌 Hello, everyone! Today, let’s talk about the vital role that quality sleep plays in maintaining your overall health and well-being. 🔹 Why Quality Sleep Matters: Improved Brain Function: Adequate sleep enhances memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills, helping you stay sharp and focused. Emotional Balance: Quality sleep helps regulate your mood, reducing stress and the risk of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Physical Health: Proper rest supports your immune system, reduces the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and promotes overall physical health. Daily Performance: A good night’s sleep boosts your energy levels, making you more productive and alert throughout the day. 🔹 Tips for Better Sleep: Consistent Schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Sleep Environment: Create a calm, dark, and cool sleeping environment. Limit noise and distractions. Limit Stimulants: Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime. Opt for a light snack if needed. Relaxation Techniques: Incorporate calming activities before bed, such as reading, meditation, or a warm bath. Limit Screen Time: Reduce exposure to screens and blue light an hour before bedtime to help your body wind down. Remember, prioritising your sleep is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for your health. By ensuring you get quality rest, you can improve your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Just imagine how a toddler feels after a tantrum. Many toddlers are sad and worried about whether their parents still love them We tend to focus on how to manage tantrums BUT the time after a tantrum is a highly-sensitive moment that needs to be handled with care. So, while we’ve listed several things NOT to say, let’s focus on how to manage the moment. WHAT TO DO: Give vour little one a great big hug after a tantrum. Quickly review what happened and move on. Say something like, “You were upset that your brother finished the cereal you wanted. It’s hard when you don’t get something you want. I get it!” Remember, a tantrum is just a toddler acting their age. #southportmetromedicalcentre #youmatter #goldcoast

🥚🥚🥚Answer: You can’t tell from this photo! But, there are some things you can do to prevent your risk: ❌ Never wash dirty eggs. Dirty eggs may have Salmonella bacteria on their shell and washing them allows bacteria to move from the outside of the shell to inside. ❌ Never use cracked eggs. The cracks allow Salmonella to enter the egg and grow inside. #spotthedifference #foodpoisoning #salmonella #foodsafety #doctorswhocare #youmatter #southportmetromedicalcentre #goldcoast

You may have heard snus is on the loose, but what is it? 🧐🤔👇 Snus are flavoured nicotine pouches that look similar to a teabag or lolly. They can contain high levels of nicotine, and other ingredients, such as sweeteners and flavours. The small pouches are designed to be placed between the lip and gum, to be absorbed into the blood stream 🩸 The high levels of nicotine in the pouches can be harmful, addictive and impact brain development 🧠 The sale and advertising of snus in Australia is illegal. Nicotine pouches are not a proven way of quitting smoking or vaping 🚭 Free support is available whether you’re thinking about quitting, ready to quit, or have already quit. Queenslanders under 30 who smoke or vape can now access intensive quit support from Quitline.

Do you like to come home after a busy day at work, kick off your shoes 👞 👠👡🥿👟and have a drink or two? 🍻🥂🍸🍹🍷 If you said yes, you’re not alone. When that occasional drink becomes routine and you find you’re drinking more alcohol more often, it can become a habit. If you think you may be becoming dependent on alcohol after work, there’s some things you can do to cut down or stop. 👇 Think 🤔 about why vou have a drink after work - do you use it to relax ?Understanding why can help to you make changes. 🛁 Do something else to relieve stress - go for a walk, run a bath or meditate. 🥤 Swap to a non-alcoholic alternative - try ice water or soda with a squeeze of lime. 🗓️ Set small, achievable goals like only drinking 2 nights a week instead of every night. Most importantly, be kind to yourself and give yourself credit for trying to change your habit ❤️ Need some support to cut back or quit?

Movement is integral to overall well-being, impacting not just our physical health but also our mental and emotional states. Engaging in regular physical activity promotes cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles and bones, and enhances flexibility and balance. Beyond the physical benefits, movement releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that boost mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. It also improves cognitive function, helping to sharpen focus and memory. Additionally, incorporating movement into our daily lives fosters a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, contributing to overall feelings of happiness and fulfillment. Whether it’s through structured exercise, recreational activities, or simply incorporating more movement into our daily routines, prioritising movement is essential for cultivating a healthy and vibrant life. #southportmetromedicalcentre #doctorswhocare #youmatter #movement

Breakfast holds significant importance as it jumpstarts your metabolism and provides the necessary energy to fuel your day ahead. Starting your morning with a nutritious meal not only replenishes your body’s energy stores after a night of fasting but also sets the tone for healthy eating habits throughout the day. By kickstarting your metabolism early on, you’re priming your body to efficiently burn calories and maintain stable blood sugar levels, which can help sustain energy levels and prevent overeating later in the day. Making breakfast a priority sets a positive tone for your overall health and well-being, empowering you to make healthier choices throughout the day. #doctorswhocare #youmatter #southportmetromedicalcentre #goldcoast

Did you know sepsis is a leading cause of a preventable death and persistent harm in children - with infants and children under aged 5 at greater risk? Sepsis is a medical emergency.

You know your child best, if you are concerned that they are more than unwell than ever before, or this illness is different from other times - just ask your Doctor or Nurse “Could this be sepsis?” Get to know the signs of sepsis!

Absolutely, depression doesn’t discriminate! It can affect individuals from all walks of life, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Depression is a complex mental health condition that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, life experiences, trauma, and environmental stressors. It’s important to recognise that anyone can experience depression, and it’s not a reflection of personal weakness or failure. Seeking help and support is essential for managing depression and improving mental well-being. Whether through therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of treatments, there are effective ways to cope with depression and regain a sense of balance and hope. By raising awareness and reducing stigma surrounding depression, we can create a more supportive and compassionate society where individuals feel comfortable seeking help and receiving the care they deserve. Remember, you are not alone, and there is hope for recovery. Reach out to trusted loved ones, healthcare professionals, or mental health organisations for support. You deserve to feel better, and help is available.

As winter sports season training ramps up, it’s crucial to acknowledge the potential for injuries. Whether you’re starting footy training, hitting the netball courts or the slopes for skiing or snowboarding, lacing up your boots for hockey, or participating in other winter sports, the risk of injury is ever-present. However, there are precautions you can take to mitigate these risks and ensure a safe and enjoyable season: 1️⃣ Warm-Up: Begin each training session with a thorough warm-up to prepare your body for activity. Dynamic stretches, light cardio, and mobility drills can help loosen muscles and joints, reducing the likelihood of injury. 2️⃣ Proper Gear: Ensure you have the appropriate protective gear for your sport, such as headgear, mouth guards, shin guards, pads, and correct footwear. Check that your equipment fits correctly and is in good condition to provide optimal protection. 3️⃣ Technique: Focus on mastering proper technique and form to minimise the risk of injury. Seek guidance from experienced coaches or instructors who can provide valuable feedback and instruction. 4️⃣ Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to any signs of discomfort or pain during training sessions. If something doesn’t feel right, take a break and address the issue before continuing. Ignoring pain can lead to more serious injuries down the line. 5️⃣ Cross Training: Incorporate cross-training and strength conditioning into your routine to build overall fitness and resilience. Strengthening supporting muscles and improving flexibility can help prevent common sports injuries. 6️⃣ Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated and fuel your body with nutritious foods to support energy levels and recovery. Proper hydration and nutrition are essential for maintaining peak performance and reducing the risk of fatigue-related injuries. 7️⃣ Rest and Recovery: Allow adequate time for rest and recovery between training sessions to prevent overuse injuries and promote muscle repair. Incorporate rest days into your schedule and prioritise quality sleep for optimal recovery. By implementing these injury prevention strategies and prioritizing safety. #goldcoast #southportmetromedicalcentre

When our skin experiences excessive exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays the effects of sunburn are self-evident. Damage to our eyes is generally more subtle with the effects less obvious until eye problems like cataracts appear later on. Short term eye problems may arise when UV rays are reflected off surfaces such as sand, water, ice, or snow, for example, snow blindness. These conditions generally resolve unless long term exposure is experienced, for example when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from years of surfing. Sunglasses can offer protection for our eyes at any time of year, as long as they are labelled as having 100 per cent UV protection. A wrap-around style can further help to reduce the amount of UV exposure, while optional features such as polarisation can reduce glare for comfort. Also, note that tinting is purely cosmetic and that darker glasses bear no relation to protection from UV rays. Southport Metro Medical Centre can assist when eye problems are ongoing or creating discomfort, providing an assessment and referral as required. Appointments are available through the website https://southportmetromedicalcentre.com.au/ or our friendly reception staff at ☎️ 07 56127830 #doctorswhocare #youmatter #goldcoast #southportmetromedicalcentre
Detecting vision problems early can significantly impact your child’s learning and development. When children struggle to see clearly, it can affect their behaviour, concentration, coordination, and performance in various activities such as sports and reading. It’s crucial to identify potential vision issues early so that your child can receive the necessary support to reach their full potential. Signs that your child may be experiencing vision problems include 👁️ sore eyes 👁️ tiredness 👁️ headaches 👁️ difficulty learning 👁️ behavioural challenges 👁️ coordination issues 👁️ trouble concentrating 👁️ difficulty with activities requiring close vision. A quick vision screening test, which only takes five minutes, can provide valuable insights and benefits that can last a lifetime. However, it’s essential to continue monitoring your child’s vision even after the screening test.
