Thatโ€™s over 10 million blinks a year, and each one plays an essential role in keeping your eyes healthy:

โœ”๏ธ Moisturises & protects: Every blink spreads tears across your eyes to keep them moist, clear out dust, and remove small irritants.
โœ”๏ธ Guards your vision: Blinking acts as a natural shield against bright lights, dry air, or sudden contact.
โœ”๏ธ Linked to brain activity: Studies show we blink more when talking or daydreaming, and less when focusedโ€”like when using screens.
โœ”๏ธ Screen time tip: We blink up to 60% less when staring at devices, which can lead to dry, irritated eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Taking care of your eyes is part of your whole-body wellness.

Hereโ€™s why apples are great for your health:

โœ… Rich in Fibre: Helps regulate digestion and lowers cholesterol.
๐Ÿ Loaded with Antioxidants: Supports immune function and protects against cell damage.
โค๏ธ Heart Smart: The pectin in apples may help reduce blood pressure and inflammation.
๐Ÿฆท Natural Tooth Cleaner: Biting and chewing apples stimulates saliva production, which helps reduce tooth decay.

โœจ Small habits lead to big health benefits. Whether you're looking to improve your diet or better manage chronic conditions, good nutrition starts with simple choices, like snacking on an apple!

Most of us feel gassy or bloated now and then, and itโ€™s usually harmless. But if itโ€™s happening often, it may be your gut trying to tell you something.

๐Ÿซ— We naturally swallow air while eating, drinking, or even talking.
๐Ÿฅฆ Some foodsโ€”like beans, cabbage, onions, dairy, or fizzy drinksโ€”produce more gas during digestion.
๐Ÿฆ  Imbalances in gut bacteria or eating too quickly can also lead to bloating.

โš ๏ธ If gas or bloating is:
Persistent or painful
Accompanied by changes in your bowel habits
Causing nausea, weight loss, or fatigue
Linked to specific foods or stress

These could signal food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other digestive concerns that need support.

Keeping a food diary is a helpful first step, but donโ€™t guess alone. ๐Ÿ’š Drs Walsh & De Ridder can help identify the root cause and guide you toward relief.

๐Ÿซ Air pollution and cigarette smoke slowly damage the delicate tissue in your lungs. Microscopic particles and chemicals inflame your airways, reduce lung capacity, and make breathing harder over time.

๐Ÿซ Common symptoms include:
Persistent cough
Wheezing
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath
Increased frequency of colds or respiratory infections

๐Ÿซ Long-term exposure may lead to serious conditions such as:
Chronic bronchitis
Emphysema
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Lung cancer

๐Ÿซ Who's most at risk?
Children (whose lungs are still developing), the elderly, individuals with asthma, and those living in high-traffic or industrial areas are especially vulnerable.

๐ŸŒฑ The good news:
Early lifestyle changes and lung function monitoring can help protect your respiratory health and slow down damage.

๐Ÿ’š Drs Walsh & De Ridder offer lung health assessments, smoking cessation support, and personalised care plans to help you breathe easierโ€”now and into the future.

โšก A higher than normal resting heart rate (RHR) may point to dehydration, stress, poor fitness, or undetected heart issues.
โšก Your RHR is how hard your heart works when youโ€™re at rest โ€“ it reflects your heartโ€™s overall efficiency.
โšก Ideally, RHR should be 60โ€“100 beats per minute. Anything regularly above or below that range could indicate a bigger problem.
โšก Ignoring your RHR could mean missing early signs of heart disease, thyroid issues, or anxiety.
