New Healthy Lifestyle Program – have your say The East Metropolitan Health Service is about to trial a healthy lifestyle program for children and young people above a healthy weight, and their families. Before doing this, they want to talk to interested kids and their families to find out what you think is needed in a program aimed at helping families achieve a healthier life. What’s involved? ● You and your child will take part in a small focus group with other families. ● You'll be asked about your experiences trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and what we need to include in a program helping families achieve healthier lifestyles. ● The session will last about 2 hours. ● To cover your time, you can claim travel costs (up to $50) and: - caregivers will receive $75 - children and young people will receive a $75 voucher. We know that talking about this can be difficult. The focus groups will be a safe space – non-judgmental and blame-free. Who can attend? Families with children and/or young people above a healthy weight living in the East Metro area. When and where – Focus Group Options ● Face-to-face, children in Pre-primary to Year 6 with their caregivers Thursday 8 August 4:00 to 5:30pm in Kenwick ● Face-to-face, young people in Years 7 to 10 and caregivers (Young people and their caregivers may be in separate groups.)

Now that summer’s here, it’s the perfect time to soak up the sun and enjoy all the warm weather activities. But amidst the fun, don’t forget about your self-care checklist! Summer can get busy with vacations, barbecues, and beach trips, but taking care of yourself should always be a priority. Remember to stay hydrated—carry that water bottle with you everywhere. Protect your skin with sunscreen, and don’t forget to reapply, especially after swimming or sweating. Make time for rest and relaxation, even if it’s just a few quiet minutes in the shade. Listen to your body and give it what it needs, whether that’s a brisk walk, a yoga session, or simply sitting back with a good book. Eating fresh, healthy foods is easier in the summer with all the delicious seasonal produce. Incorporate plenty of fruits and veggies into your meals to keep your energy levels up. And don’t forget to stay connected with friends and family—socializing is a great way to boost your mood. So, while you’re enjoying all the wonderful things summer has to offer, keep your self-care checklist in mind. It’s all about finding that perfect balance between fun and well-being.

Creating a vision board is a powerful tool for visualizing and achieving your goals, dreams, and aspirations. This creative process involves gathering images, quotes, and other visual elements that resonate with your objectives and desires. By placing these items on a board, you create a tangible representation of your goals, serving as a daily reminder and source of motivation. Begin by reflecting on what you want to achieve in various areas of your life, such as career, health, relationships, and personal growth. Choose images and words that inspire and reflect these goals. Arrange them on your board in a way that feels meaningful and visually appealing to you. Once your vision board is complete, place it somewhere you’ll see it daily, such as your bedroom, office, or another personal space. Regularly viewing your vision board helps reinforce your goals and keeps you focused on the positive actions needed to achieve them. It serves as a constant reminder of what you’re working towards and can inspire you to take steps, both big and small, towards making your dreams a reality. #Inspiration #OwnYourStory #HealingJourney #GrowthMindset #SelfCompassion #PersonalDevelopment #EmbraceTheJourney #MediterraneanDiet #HealthyEating #WeightLossJourney #MediterraneanLifestyle #CleanEating #MediterraneanRecipes #NutritionTips #FoodIsMedicine #FitMediterranean #HealthyChoices #WellnessWednesday #MindfulEating #MediterraneanWellness #DeliciouslyHealthy #WeightLossRecipes #BalancedDiet #EatWellFeelWell #HeartHealthy #MediterraneanFlavors #FitnessFood #hormonehealth #menopause #medilifestyle

New Year, New Care Goals! 🎉 As we welcome a fresh start in January, it’s the perfect time to set care-related resolutions for seniors and their families. At Universal Home Care, we believe that small, intentional steps can lead to big improvements in overall well-being. Here are a few ideas to help you and your loved ones start the year off right: 1️⃣ Improve Mobility: Make daily movement a priority! Gentle exercises like stretching, walking, or chair yoga can enhance flexibility, balance, and strength. Regular activity reduces the risk of falls and keeps joints healthy. 2️⃣ Stay Socially Engaged: Combat isolation by encouraging social interactions. Schedule regular phone calls, plan visits, or explore community programs. Virtual meetups and hobby groups are also great ways to stay connected! 3️⃣ Organize Medical Appointments: Create a care calendar to keep track of doctor’s visits, therapy sessions, and medication schedules. Staying organized reduces stress and ensures timely health check-ins. 4️⃣ Focus on Nutrition: Plan balanced meals that include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Staying hydrated and eating nutritious foods can boost energy and immune health during the colder months. 5️⃣ Embrace Support Services: Consider professional in-home care to assist with daily tasks or medical needs. Our team at Universal Home Care is here to provide personalized care that makes life easier and safer for you and your loved ones. Let’s make 2025 a year of improved health, connection, and happiness! What are your New Year’s care goals? #UniversalHomeCare #NewYearNewGoals #SeniorCare #HealthyAging #InHomeCare
