BRACES AND SUPPORTS – DID YOU KNOW?

1. It can be damaging or counterproductive to your existing injury / condition to wear a brace or support that does not fit properly. You may not even be aware that the fit is incorrect if you have not consulted with a medical expert on what is required for your injury / condition.

2. You should never just buy a brace or support unless you are 100% sure that it is the correct equipment for your injury or condition. An incorrect brace or support could cause further damage and not help with recovery.

The bottom line is you need to consult with an expert before just purchasing a brace or support that you think will fit or is correct for your needs.

Heart health is at the core of our well-being, yet there are so many fascinating facts about the heart that many of us may not be aware of. Let’s dive into some heart-healthy wisdom!

Did You Know?
- The Heart Beats 100,000 Times a Day: On average, your heart beats about 100,000 times a day, pumping approximately 7,600 litres of blood throughout your body!

- Heart Disease is a Leading Cause of Death Worldwide: Despite advances in medicine, heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally, emphasising the need for preventative healthcare.

- Laughter is Good for Your Heart: Research suggests that laughing can decrease stress hormones, reduce artery inflammation, and increase HDL, the "good" cholesterol.

- The "Broken Heart Syndrome": Officially known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, it’s a temporary heart condition often brought on by stressful situations and extreme emotions.

- South Africa's Heart Health: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death in South Africa, with unhealthy lifestyles and lack of access to healthcare exacerbating the situation.

🫀💡 Understanding these facts is crucial in taking the first step towards a heart-healthy lifestyle. By making informed choices, we can all contribute to better heart health within our communities.

We at M-KEM 24 HOUR MEDICINE CITY understand that financially times are hard and the cost of medication can really add pressure to an already tight budget.

Mr M says:”There are often more affordable variants and alternatives to the more expensive medicines. I invite you to chat to one of our pharmacists or to me directly about your medication and we can see where we can advise you and hopefully save you money”.

🔸️ Let's not underestimate the power of Prevention.
🔸️ Let's not neglect what we can do daily to live a healthier lifestyle.
🔸️ Let's not only rely on medication and the treatment by physicians in the event of disease.

We can be proactive and reduce the need for medical interventions.

Make a new commitment to Healthy Habits today. Let's Go!
