Braai Dag / Heritage Day (think heritage and illnesses in the bloodline)

🌿🇿🇦 This Heritage Day, let’s talk about more than just traditions… 🇿🇦🌿
We celebrate our roots, culture, and the legacy passed down through generations. But have you ever thought about what else may be passed down?
🧬 Hereditary illnesses can affect families for generations if left unchecked. Conditions like:
❤️ Heart disease
💉 Diabetes
🧠 Alzheimer’s disease
🦴 Certain cancers
Knowing your family’s medical history is just as important as knowing your cultural heritage. By being aware, you can take steps to prevent, monitor, and manage these conditions early.
✨ This Heritage Day, honour your family by protecting their future – and yours.

Alzheimer's Awareness Day

🧠💜 Alzheimer’s Awareness Day 💜🧠
Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect memory – it impacts daily life, independence, and families. Spotting the early signs can make all the difference in getting the right support and care.
Early signs to look out for:
🔹 Memory loss that disrupts daily life (forgetting important dates or repeating questions)
🔹 Difficulty planning or solving familiar problems
🔹 Trouble completing everyday tasks
🔹 Confusion with time or place
🔹 Misplacing items and struggling to retrace steps
🔹 Withdrawal from social activities or mood changes
Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of ageing – and early diagnosis is key. 🌿
👉 On this Alzheimer’s Awareness Day, take a step towards protecting your brain health. Visit Dr. Theresa Jordaan’s website to learn more and book an appointment.

❤️ Persistent fatigue or weakness

❤️ Rapid or irregular heartbeat
❤️ Constant coughing or wheezing

🫀 High Cholesterol: The Silent Risk You Shouldn’t Ignore 🫀
An abnormal cholesterol profile can quietly increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health complications. It often shows no symptoms, until it’s too late.
Our medical practice encourages early screening and proactive care.

✅ Why it’s dangerous: Excess LDL (“bad” cholesterol) can build up in your arteries, narrowing blood flow and straining your heart.
✅ Prevention & management: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding to***co are key. In some cases, medication may be necessary to stabilise levels and protect your heart.

📌 Important: Diagnosis and treatment should always be guided by a registered medical professional. Never self-medicate.

Your heart deserves expert care, book your cholesterol screening with Doctors@HelderbergCentre today and take a step toward lasting wellness. ❤️
