Australians are not eating enough veggies, and that probably includes you. Here’s how to level up your meal prep and veg count at the same time.
Runs on the beach. Dips in the pool. Warm nights with the aromas of sizzling barbeques wafting through the air. Australians are often perceived as fit and healthy, eating the fresh produce that we are world-renowned for.
In reality though, many of us do not eat enough vegetables. In fact, a CSIRO analysis of nearly 250,000 Aussies found that only four out of 10 adults are eating three or more different vegetables at their main meal (an indicator of a healthy diet).
So, why do we need to eat more vegetables?
In addition to the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and nutrients that our bodies need, vegetables contain dietary fibre.
Dietary fibres are non-digestible carbohydrates that are found in edible plant foods. They are the foundation of gut health: getting 30-40g of fibre a day not only helps with proper gut function but also boosts health and wellbeing.
As well as being packed with things that our bodies need, vegetables are low in kilojoules so you can eat them in abundance without impacting your waistline.

Today marks World Cancer Day, 4 February. It’s a time to acknowledge the impact cancer has on individuals, families, and communities, and to recognise the importance of awareness, prevention, and early detection.
For many people, cancer isn’t something marked on a calendar, it’s something they or someone close to them live with every day. It can be overwhelming, exhausting, and at times isolating. For those undergoing treatment, or for those caring for someone who is, reach out to our friendly team of GP's here at Beach End Medical.
To book an appointment please call reception 0359751066 or book online at www.beachendmedicalclinic.com

What are early signs or symptoms of skin cancer?
The earlier skin cancer is detected, the less risk of surgery, disfigurement or even death. Becoming familiar with your own skin will help you pick up any new changes such as:
any crusty, non-healing sores
small lumps that are red, pale or pearly in colour
new spots, freckles or any moles changing in colour, thickness or shape over a period of weeks to months.

Melanoma often doesn’t have early symptoms. However, you should look out for these changes in an existing or new mole:
Colour - change of colour, different shades of colour or blotchy colour
Size - a mole may appear to get bigger
Shape - a mole may have an irregular border or may increase in height
Elevation - the mole may develop a raised area
Itching or bleeding.

Book your Molemap Skin Check here at Beach End Medical Clinic with our Melanographer.

Where can you get your moles checked?
There are a number of clinics in the Mornington Peninsula that offer skin cancer screening. At Beach End, we offer MoleMap Skin Check at our handy location of Main Street, Mornington. This includes a head to toe check with an advanced dermatoscopic lens by a trained melanographer. Moles are then diagnosed via telemedicine by an expert dermatologist. This means there’s much less risk of unnecessary biopsies (and additional associated costs).
How can you prevent skin cancer?
Wear SPF30+ sunscreen or UV protection every day. Particularly if you work outdoors.
Minimise your sun exposure, especially during the middle of the day or when UV levels are high.
Seek shade
Wear a hat that covers the neck and ears
Wear close-fitting sunglasses
Don’t use sunbeds or solariums
What are the different types of skin cancer?
There are three main types of skin cancer:
* basal cell carcinoma
* squamous cell carcinoma
* melanoma - the most dangerous form of skin cancer
Melanoma is the third most common cancer in Australia.

SEPTEMBER IS PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH !
What is Prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the prostate grow in an uncontrolled way.
The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system. It makes a fluid that forms part of semen. The prostate is located just below the bladder and in front of the re**um.
Prostate cancer can press on or block the bladder or the urethra (the tube that allows urine to be released from the bladder) and cause problems with urination and sexual function.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Australia (apart from common skin cancers).
Your health is our priority. Book online www.beachendmedicalclinic.com or call reception 03)5975 1066 with our friendly team of Mornington Doctors.
