Diabetes Awareness: What You Should Know About Risk Factors 💉🩺

Diabetes is one of the most common health conditions in Australia—but with the right awareness and lifestyle choices, it can often be prevented or managed effectively.

Here are some of the key risk factors to be aware of:
🔹 Family history of diabetes
🔹 Being overweight or physically inactive
🔹 High blood pressure or cholesterol levels
🔹 Unhealthy diet (high in sugar or processed foods)
🔹 Being over the age of 40
🔹 Having had gestational diabetes during pregnancy

You may not notice symptoms early on, which is why regular check-ups are so important. Early detection allows for better management and reduces the risk of complications.

📅 Book a diabetes screening at Mainstreet Medical today—knowing your risk is the first step toward prevention.

Health Myth Busters: Does Cold Weather Really Make You Sick? ❄️🤧

We’ve all heard it—“Don’t go out in the cold, you’ll catch a cold!” But is it true? Let’s bust this common myth.

👉 The truth: Cold weather itself doesn’t make you sick. Viruses like the cold and flu are the real culprits.
So why do more people get sick in winter?
🔹 We spend more time indoors, making it easier for germs to spread.
🔹 Dry winter air can weaken our nasal passages, lowering our defenses.
🔹 Our immune systems can be a little sluggish in colder months.

✅ The best way to stay healthy isn’t avoiding the chill—it’s practicing good hygiene, keeping your immune system strong, and getting your recommended vaccinations.

So go ahead, enjoy the cool weather—just don’t forget to wash your hands and rug up! 🧣🧤

Sleep & Health: How Poor Sleep Affects Your Immune System 😴🛡️

Did you know that a good night’s sleep is one of the best ways to keep your immune system strong? When you don’t get enough rest, your body struggles to fight off infections and recover from illness.

Here’s how poor sleep can impact your health:
🔹 Weakened immunity – making you more prone to colds, flu, and infections.
🔹 Slower recovery – your body heals and repairs itself while you sleep.
🔹 Increased stress levels – lack of sleep raises stress hormones, which suppress immune function.
🔹 Higher risk of chronic illness – poor sleep is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and more.

The good news? Small habits—like keeping a regular bedtime, limiting screen time before bed, and creating a relaxing nighttime routine—can dramatically improve your sleep quality.

📅 If sleep troubles persist, our team at Mainstreet Medical can help you find the cause and get back on track.
