To***co smoking is one of the world's largest health problems. Researchers estimate that every year more than 7 million people die an early death due to smoking. Fortunately, lungs have a remarkable ability to heal themselves, and the benefits of quitting far outweigh the urge for a smoke. 🫁
🚭 According to the CDC, more than 90% of ex-smokers report feeling healthier shortly after quitting.
🚭 Your sense of taste and smell begin to return to normal a mere 48 hours after your last smoke!
🚭 One year after quitting, your risk of coronary heart disease is cut in half.
🚭 Ten years after quitting, your risk of lung cancer drops to half that of a continuing smoker.

But fatigue isn’t something you should just push through. It can be your body’s way of asking for attention, not more caffeine. Come and speak to our caring staff for advice on potential causes and solutions to your fatigue.

Too much salt in your diet could be putting your health at risk without you even realising it. 🧂 Over time, too much salt intake forces the body to retain water, increasing blood volume and pressure on artery walls. This can lead to hypertension, commonly known as the “silent killer”.

A quick blood pressure check gives you the insight you need to take control of your health, while simple changes like cutting back on salt can help reduce your risk. In support of World Salt Awareness Week and Hypertension Awareness Month, we’ve teamed up with Servier to offer 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘆. 💙

Today we celebrate the people who are often the very first step in someone’s healthcare journey. 🧡🩺

Nurses are so much more than a point of entry into the system. They are the steady hands, the calm voices, and the trusted professionals who bring care closer to our communities every day.

To all nurses: thank you for your skill, your patience and the care you give so consistently. Happy International Nurses Day! 🫶
