💙 A quick update about our page 💙

Some of you may have noticed that this page still shows our previous practice name (EAHC Newton). Unfortunately, Facebook hasn’t allowed us to update this, so we have a created new official page — Signal Health Newton.

This new page will be used to share practice updates, reminders, and other information about our practice.

If you would like to stay connected with us, please like and follow our new page:

🌍 World Diabetes Day — 14 November 🌍

Today is World Diabetes Day, a reminder of how many Australians are affected by diabetes and why early awareness matters. Throughout November, we’re focusing on increasing awareness and understanding of diabetes and its impact on health.

Diabetes affects how the body manages glucose (sugar). Symptoms can include tiredness, increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, or slow-healing cuts. If you notice any of these changes, it’s important to speak with your GP.

With regular check-ups, the right support, and healthy habits, diabetes can be managed well.

🥗 Food for Body and Mind

What we eat doesn’t just fuel our bodies - it also supports our brain and mood. 🧠

Emerging research suggests that certain eating patterns, like the Mediterranean-style diet, are linked with better brain health and emotional wellbeing. Whole foods, leafy greens, nuts, olive oil, and fish can all contribute to a balanced, nourishing diet.

A new article on our Health Insights page explores how nutrition may play a role in supporting mental and cognitive health - and offers simple ideas for everyday meals.
