Look after your heart and your heart will look after you - in body, mind-spirit and relationship 💓 ⠀ ⠀ Happy Valentine’s Day lovers ❣️⠀ ⠀ Beautiful anatomically by @trishathompsonadams⠀ #valentinesday #hearthealth #befacewell
Greetings from Tennant Creek. I’m here doing some work with an Aboriginal community. ⠀ ⠀ Its been a while since I last went remote for work and it’s a most welcome adventure. It’s my first visit here and the town and people culture and demographics are fascinating and distinct from what I’ve become used to living in Sydney. ⠀ ⠀ I’m learning about unique indigenous cultural health challenges, bush medicine, a hot, dry landscape (although we’ve had some good rain in the past week) ✴️⠀ ⠀ And that beautiful sunsets can be found anywhere! 🌅 ⠀ ⠀ Tennant Creek is a much friendlier place than I had anticipated with a passionate and interesting mix of people from all over the world 🌎 ⠀ ⠀ #centralaustralia #remotehealth #befacewell

As kids we learn the song about your shin bone being connected to your knee bone etc etc🦴 ⠀ ⠀ As adults we’re now putting together a new set of body part relationships: tissue inflammation. ⠀ ⠀ Sing with me 🎤 ⠀ ⠀ Your mouth is connected to your: gut tract 🎶 Your gut is connected to your: blood stream 🎶 Your blood is connected to your: heart beat 🎶 Your heart is connected to your: two lungs 🎶 Your lungs are connected to your: brain lobes 🎶 Your brain is connected to your: spinal cord 🎶 Your spine is connected to your: pelvis bones 🎶 Your pelvis holds your: sex organs 🎶 Your organs are connected to your: muscles...⠀ ⠀ So clearly I’m no songwriter 😂 .... but hopefully you get the drift that all the different tissues that make up the body are connected, so inflammation in one part can trigger or worsen inflammation in another part of the body, leading to illness. ♻️ ⠀ ⠀ It’s called ‘chronic inflammatory disease’. and is now the leading cause of illness in humans. Dental disease is the most common form, affecting up to 70% of people at some stage of life.⠀ ⠀ Dentists have been talking about these mouth-body connections for some time. Excitingly now the wider health community is also joining the dots: linking mouth inflammation to depression, Alzheimer’s and more. 👄 🧠 🦵 💭 ❤️⠀ ⠀ I highly recommend reading this fantastic article published by the @guardian ⠀ ⠀ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/19/inflammation-depression-mind-body?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook⠀ ⠀ When was the last time you had a checkup with a dentist? Want to try online? 👩‍💻 ⠀ ⠀ Great brain art by @kylejbean⠀ ⠀ #inflammatorydisease
Yay! It’s tennis season down under 🎾 ⠀ ⠀ My facial muscles will be getting a great workout over the next couple of weeks watching all the action of the @australianopen 😁 👀 ⠀ ⠀ Good for my complexion, good for my muscle tone, good for anti-ageing and anti-gravity ✅ ⠀ ⠀ Give it a try! ⠀ - open eyes wide to keep your eye on the ball⠀ - lift eyebrows upwards to try and see those first serves⠀ - pull muscles and skin back towards hairline and ears at amazement of athleticism ⠀ - smile wide at the crowd antics⠀ - open mouth wide at every lost point⠀ - pull mouth into a small O at every ace or close call⠀ Repeat each 20 times or more while watching a match!⠀ ⠀ Great racquet art by @fiance_knowles ⠀ ⠀ #tenniswow #faceyoga #beautyhacks #befacewell⠀
