START HEALTHY HABITS AT ANY AGE

If you’ve reached middle age in less than good health, you smoke, drink, don’t exercise and have a less than ideal diet, you don’t have to feel quite so bad about it. For those who plan to make healthy changes ‘one day’, studies are telling us that it’s not too late to make a fresh start. US researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina studied 15,700 adults aged 45 - 64 for ten years and emerged saying that even if you've burnt the candle at both ends over the years, dramatic improvements in health in middle age can still occur. The idea of the study was to see whether adopting these measures reduced the study participants' risk of dying or getting heart disease. At the beginning of the study, only 8.4 per cent were living healthily.....

MEN GETTING THE HEALTH MESSAGE

Aussie blokes have a reputation for neglecting their heath, in particular discussing personal issues with their GP. Sadly, many men suffer from preventable diseases, simply because they don’t see their GP often enough. Some of these are cardiovascular disease, skin cancer, depression along with prostate and testicular cancers. Men suffer more from diseases that affect both men and women, because women tend to take care of their health better than men do.
One suggestion is that men should see their GP “as often as they have their car serviced.” That way, a lot more health problems would be detected at an earlier and more treatable stage.
A study of 600 Australian men showed that, while it’s getting better, 20 per cent of men remain “very uncomfortable” about discussing sensitive issues with their GP, until they became serious health problems. The men who were most reluctant to speak frankly to their GP’s were the under 40’s and the over 80’s.

INSOMNIA

Homeopathy has a range of medicines that can successfully treat insomnia. The main factor in treatment is identifying the cause. Once this is identified, an individualised medicine is prescribed. Anxiety, stress, hormonal changes, pain, allergies, sleep habits, alcohol and caffeine consumption are some of the reasons why people suffer from insomnia. A full history is taken at your consultation, so your insomnia can be fully addressed with homeopathic medicine.

For general information about sleep and getting enough of it, see 'General Health Articles' on this website.

ASTHMA - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We have treated many patients with asthma. Identifying the cause and asthma triggers are crucial to successful treatment.
Homeopathic treatment involves identifying and treating sensitivities, and increasing the patient's strength to tolerate trigger situations.
