Happy international Dog Day 🥰

Did you know your furry friend can be a real health booster? 🐶

Owning a dog isn’t just about unconditional love and wagging tails, it’s great for your health too!

Studies show dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol, and a reduced risk of heart disease compared to non-dog owners. Plus, daily dog walks help keep you active and fit, reducing risks of diabetes and certain cancers. 🏃‍♂️💪

But that’s not all - having a canine companion can also ease stress, reduce feelings of loneliness, and boost your mood. Simply petting your dog can lower anxiety and promote mindfulness, helping you stay calm and present in life. 🧘‍♀️❤️

Dogs are simply the best! 🐕✨

💪Iron Absorption
1. Did you know Vitamin C can boost iron absorption? 🍑
2. Did you know bran, tea and coffee can interfere with absorption? ☕️

Small habit changes, like adding a piece of fruit with meals, may help improve iron levels over time by boosting absorption. Including vitamin C-rich foods, such as oranges or berries, alongside meals is an easy way to enhance dietary iron uptake for better long-term results. (healthdirect)

If you are lethargic and concerned about your iron levels, it's a good idea to consult your GP. Iron infusions are available at our clinic, where medially indicated. Find out more: https://tophealthdoctors.com.au/our-services/iron-infusion-clinic-brisbane/

Diabetes is often called the "silent pandemic" in Australia because it can develop and progress without causing noticeable symptoms for years, meaning many people are unaware they have it until serious health complications arise.

Type 2 diabetes, in particular, can remain undiagnosed for long periods, some people only discover they have diabetes after complications like vision loss, foot ulcers, or heart problems occur. This undetected nature, combined with rapidly rising prevalence rates (Australia’s fastest-growing chronic condition), makes diabetes a major ongoing public health threat that is difficult to control without broader awareness and screening.

In addition to its silent onset, diabetes is associated with significant long-term risks, such as heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, and amputations, and is now among the leading causes of death in Australia. Because many people remain undiagnosed (estimations suggest there are hundreds of thousands of Australians living with undetected diabetes), it poses an escalating challenge for the health system necessitating the “silent pandemic” label.
