Changes in thinking and mental state may occur with age, yet few people look after their brain as well as they do their heart or muscles.
We chat to TPCH physician and geriatrician Eamonn on his top tips for what you can do to help keep your brain healthy.
🧠 Train your brain: Keep your brain stimulated with online courses, learning languages, games, and puzzles.
🧠 Stop or reduce alcohol intake to sensible limits.
🧠 Reduce or stop smoking.
🧠 Feed your brain: Incorporating a more Mediterranean diet has shown great benefits.
🧠 Muscle is memory: Exercise plays a key role, so try regular walking, dancing, Pilates or yoga.
🧠 Prioritise sleep: Sleep is really important to brain health, so practice good sleep hygiene - get an early night, limit drinking alcohol, limit caffeine in the afternoon, no devices before bed, and separate bed from work.
🧠 Stay on top of overall health: ensure any conditions or illness are treated.
🧠 Find the right balance: ensure psychological health and wellbeing is prioritised.
If you’re worried about your brain health, or someone has noticed unusual behaviour, then talk to your local GP.

Many of us were driven into depression by the labor govmt and their rules during covid , many will not get better until this govmt is elected out ,
Let's give it up for our TPCH anaesthetics team, who have made a sustainable switch from reticulated nitrous oxide anaesthetic to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ♻️💚
Dr Mary and her peers teamed up with Green Metro North, including sustainability manager Kellie, to decommission the use of N2O for the greater good of the environment.
“Anaesthetic gases make up five per cent of total healthcare emissions, of which nitrous oxide accounts for approximately 75 per cent of the total emissions from anaesthetic gases,” Dr Mary said.
“Although nitrous oxide is a safe anaesthetic gas, it is prone to leaking from piped infrastructure even when the reticulation system is well serviced and maintained."
#ShoutoutSaturday 👏 to the team for being Queensland's first hospital to make this greener swap!

Curiously, what is it being replaced with? Does this mean it will be replaced with something else in birthing suites as well, or not used at all?
Well done Mary, Kelli & team!!! That's fantastic news!!!
Go Kelli & team.
