🦴💙 BUILD STRONG BONES FOR LIFE!

Healthy bones are important at every age, and the good news is that there are simple habits we can build into our everyday lives to support our bone health.

This World Osteoporosis Day (20 October), Top Health Doctors encourages you to think about the steps you can take to look after your bones today and into the future.

💪 Move your body: Include weight-bearing activities, such as walking, and strength exercises in your routine.

🥛 Nourish your bones: Enjoy a balanced diet with calcium-rich foods and adequate vitamin D to support bone health.

☀️ Get to know vitamin D: Safe sun exposure, dietary sources and supplements when appropriate can help maintain healthy vitamin D levels.

🚭 Make healthy choices: Avoid smoking and keep alcohol consumption within recommended guidelines.

🩺 Be proactive: Osteoporosis can develop without obvious symptoms. Talk with your GP about your bone health, particularly if you have risk factors or are approaching or experiencing menopause.

Small, consistent habits can make a difference to your long-term wellbeing. If you have concerns about your bone health, your GP can discuss your individual risk factors and whether further assessment is appropriate.

💙 Strong bones start with healthy habits!

📌 For more information, visit Healthy Bones Australia at healthybonesaustralia.org.au

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease affecting over 1.2 million Australians and leading to over 173,000 broken bones each year.

🦴 Strong bones matter at every age!

After menopause, declining oestrogen levels can accelerate bone loss and osteoporosis often develops without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs.

Your GP can review your risk factors, discuss calcium, vitamin D and strength-building exercise, and arrange a bone density test when appropriate.

🌸 Healthy ageing starts with knowing your risks.

📍 Ask your Top Health Doctors GP about your bone health.

Could the changes you’re noticing be perimenopause?

Changes to your periods, hot flushes, poor sleep, brain fog, fatigue or changes in mood can sometimes occur during the transition through perimenopause and menopause.

Did you know there is now a dedicated Medicare health assessment for perimenopause and menopause?

Introduced in July 2025, the assessment gives eligible women dedicated time with their GP to discuss symptoms, review their health and talk through appropriate management options.

And you don’t need to wait until your periods have stopped to start the conversation.

We’ve put together a simple guide explaining:
• what the menopause and perimenopause health assessment involves
• symptoms you may want to discuss with your GP
• what may be reviewed during the appointment
• possible next steps and management options.

If you’ve been wondering whether the changes you’re experiencing could be related to perimenopause or menopause, consider speaking with your GP.

"Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death for Australian women.

Ms Raffoul said although chest pain or pressure were the most common symptoms of a heart attack in men and women, there could be some differences between the sexes.

"Women are more likely than men to experience non-chest pain symptoms," Ms Raffoul said.

These may include:

- nausea or vomiting
- shortness of breath
- indigestion
- dizziness, or the feeling of faintness
- pain in the arm, jaw, neck, shoulder and back."

Sharing this article worth a read: https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2026-09-16/new-global-definition-of-heart-attack-womens-health/107150402

Australian experts say a new global definition of what a heart attack is will help improve the diagnosis of women and lead to better outcomes. Here's what's changed.
