Healthworks for You - Vitality at work

May 2010

Hey, hey, it's May.

It's getting cooler out there,  a sure sign winter is almost upon us. But before we get to winter, the month of May serves us up quite a few "health holidays". One of the biggest is Heart Week. Although it's just passed, heart health looms large in the media and in peoples' minds so it's the perfect time to encourage some positive change in your workplace.

Apart from the focus on Heart Health, May is also the month for looking at macular degeneration, kidney health and food allergies, among other things. So read on for a story on eye-health (how's YOUR macula?) and how you can maintain it. We also have a story on heart health - encouraging behavioural change is not so hard.

And on the food side this month, we've got a recipe that you can bake up for YOUR Biggest Morning Tea (remember, it's on the 27th)! Yum yum!

Bite into this issue today! (and why not share it with friends?)

Best  wishes,

How's YOUR heart health this winter? In fact, how's your general health this winter?

Brrrr!
Brrrr. Winter's coming! Be prepared!

Winter's heating health awareness up! Sore throats, coughing, sneezing - all of these are things to avoid. Let us show you how to make your workplace cold and flu proof this winter. Keep staff healthy and at work this winter. With a little preparation, it'll be easy. Find out how.

Eye Spy - How's YOUR Eye?

Can you see vision problems coming? Many don't.

You've probably heard the ads asking "how's your macula?" and you may even have gotten your eyes checked recently. But there's more to eye health than vision checks. Eye strain can lead to headaches, loss of concentration - and of course, loss of productivity. So how do you relax the eyes of someone staring at a computer screen all day? Or squinting into the sun? >>

Change of Heart

How's your heart health?

Heart Week's come and gone for 2010. The focus this year is on how to recognise the warning signs of a heart attack.  But what can lead up to a heart attack? And how preventable is it? Cardiovascular disease kills approximately one Australian every 10 minutes - and many of these deaths could be prevented. >>

Did you know...?

The first open heart surgery was performed by Dr. Daniel Hall Williams in 1893. The patient walked out of hospital after 2 months and lived another 50 years.

Yum! Try this tasty treat with your morning tea!
Weet-Bix slice - delicious with a cup of tea, although you probably shouldn't eat it for breakfast.
