Spring has sprung! The days are starting to get longer, warmer, and brighter.

As we move into a new season, it's a great time to reset and refresh your physical and mental wellbeing. Here are a few simple ways to make the most of spring:

👟 Get active outside: Take a daily walk, spend time gardening, or visit your local park and enjoy the milder weather.

🥝 Eat fresh foods: Add spring greens, vegetables, and fresh fruits to your meals to support your immune system and gut health.

💤 Fix your sleep: Try to go to bed and wake up at consistent times. Getting natural sunlight within the first hour of waking can help reset your body clock.

🌞 Protect your skin: As you spend more time outdoors, remember to wear sunscreen, a hat, and protective clothing. UV levels can be high even on cooler spring days.

🤧 Don't forget about flu season: With the recent late hit of flu, it's still important to take care of your health. Stay home if you're unwell, practise good hand hygiene, and talk to your GP if you have concerns about flu symptoms or vaccinations.

We're here to support you.

Strong starts with looking after yourself 💪

Often, changes in your health can happen slowly over time, and it can be difficult to know what is normal and what is not. Taking the time to learn the basics about your health can help you recognise what's normal for you and spot when something may need attention.

It's easy to put your health on the back burner when you're busy with the day-to-day. This is your reminder to check in with yourself, and your whānau, slow down, and put your health first. Check out the links below to read about some common health topics ⬇️

Understanding immunisations for your tamariki can take time. When you’re feeling unsure, clear information and hearing different perspectives can help things feel easier to navigate.

Gabby, a second-time mum, understands how overwhelming motherhood can feel. Despite her experience, she still found herself second-guessing her decisions about immunisation. By taking the time to seek out trusted information, she felt reassured.

Now, by sharing her story, Gabby encourages other parents to:

- Take time
- Start curious conversations
- Grow their confidence through learning.

Check out Gabby's story below, and if you have any questions about immunisations, our team is always happy to help 💚

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

💙 Just turned 25? Time to do your cervical screening test.

The good news? Cervical screening is now a simple self-test that you can do yourself in a private room at our practice. It's quick, easy, and helps detect HPV, the virus that causes most cervical cancers. It is recommended to do this every 3 years from age 25.

Men’s Health Week aims to help you get right on top of your biggest and most important asset – your health. 8 Kiwi families every day lose a loved partner, father or tupuna to a preventable illness. Almost one Kiwi man in four will die before they reach retirement age.

These numbers don’t have to stay this way. By making small changes to what we eat, drink, and do each day, we can help prevent these outcomes – because even small steps can make a big difference.

Check out the Men's Health week website for more information and tips to take charge of your health year-round: https://menshealthweek.co.nz/
