❄️ Winter Wellness Tip: Sleep Like You Mean It 🛌

When the nights grow longer and the air turns crisp, it's the perfect time to prioritise deep, restorative sleep.

Good sleep isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for immunity, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Here’s how to wind down well this winter:
🌿 Apply a calming magnesium cream to relax tired muscles
🛁 Soak in a warm bath with essential oils like lavender or chamomile
🕯️ Dim the lights, journal your thoughts, or read a few pages before bed
🌅 Try a sunrise alarm clock to wake up gently—even on dark mornings

Winter is nature’s way of slowing us down. Take the cue, wrap yourself in comfort, and give your body the rest it truly needs.

Today, we raise awareness of viral hepatitis — a silent yet serious threat that causes inflammation of the liver, leading to severe disease and liver cancer.

📊 In 2022:
🔹 304 million people were living with chronic hepatitis B and C
🔹 Only 45% of newborns received the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours
🔹 1.3 million lives were lost to hepatitis B and C

This year’s theme is a call to dismantle the barriers – financial, social, and systemic – that prevent people from accessing life-saving services. Hepatitis B and C are preventable, treatable, and in the case of hepatitis C, curable.

It’s time to:
✔️ Increase testing and treatment
✔️ Improve vaccine access
✔️ Integrate care into everyday health services
✔️ Eliminate stigma

Together, we can work toward eliminating hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030.

Let’s break it down and build a healthier future.

🤧 Top Tips to Prevent and Stop the Spread of Colds

Catching a cold is never fun — and spreading one is even worse. If you're powering through your day while feeling under the weather, take a few simple steps to protect those around you (and yourself!):

🧼 Wash your hands often with warm soapy water or use hand sanitiser when you’re out and about

🚫 Keep hands away from your face — it’s one of the quickest ways germs spread

😷 Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow

💉 Get your flu shot early to protect against seasonal illness

💊 Support your immune system with supplements like zinc, garlic, olive leaf, or vitamin C

🚭 Quit smoking – it weakens your immune system and can prolong a cold

🥗 Eat well, sleep well, and keep moving to help your body stay strong

Need help choosing the right immune support or flu protection?

📍 Come and see us - we’re here to help you stay well this winter!
