🫁 If you’re short of breath, don’t ignore it.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is the 4th leading cause of death worldwide, yet many live with it without knowing.¹

If you have:
– Persistent breathlessness
– Chronic cough or chest infections
– A history of smoking or exposure to pollutants

👉 It’s time to think COPD, and speak to a health professional.

🥜 Guys, when’s the last time you checked?

Know what’s normal. Do a quick check once a month, and if you feel anything different? Don’t wait. Get it checked.

Sleep isn’t just “on” or “off”, your brain cycles through different sleep stages every night. ¹🧠💤

🌙 Non-REM sleep = physical repair & recovery
😴 REM sleep = dreaming & brain activity

Getting the right balance of both is key to waking up refreshed and focused.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women¹, but with early detection, it can often be treated successfully.

This month, we’re shining a light on the importance of:
🎀 Regular self-checks
🎀 Knowing the signs and symptoms
🎀 Routine screenings and mammograms
🎀 Speaking to your GP if anything feels unusual

👩‍⚕️ Your health is worth prioritising. Being proactive with your breast health is an act of self-care, and can be life-saving.

If you’ve noticed changes in your breasts, have a family history of breast cancer, or simply want to know more about screening and prevention, speak to your GP.
