Tonight’s sunset 🌞 In the top photo you can see the colouration of the sun’s Corona towards the top portion of the sun. In the bottom photo you can see streaks across the sun’s Chromosphere. The sky is obscured by smoke from NSW fires. Thank you NSW Rural Fire Service for keeping people safe. Don’t look directly at the sun. . . . . #sunset #sun #corona #photography #photooftheday #picoftheday #photographer #instaphoto #instagood @corona #health #healthylifestyle #healthy #instahealth #nutrition #nutritionist #foodie #naturalhealth #climatechange #climate #sydney @sydney @visitnsw @nswrfs #thankyou #keepsafe #nswrfs
Quick business trip up to the Goldy. No matter how busy you are, always find time for a time out. Yes, it sounds funny to say it like that, but for some people finding the time can be difficult. Give it a go - 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there. It all adds up! 🌊 . . . . #surfersparadise #surf #goldcoast #beach #beachlife #timeout #time #meditation #medicine #nutrition #nutritionist #foodie #health #healthy #instahealth #instagood #fitness #fit #fitspo #photography #bird #positivevibes #sundayfunday #healthylifestyle #weekendvibes #awesome @visitsurfersparadise @queensland @visitqueensland

Late night beach walk. Had a ponder, reflection, and meditation. I made a new friend (at the right of the photo) who was interested in my meditation. . . . . #beach #night #walk #reflection #beachwalk #instaphoto #instagood #collaroy #instahealth #healthylifestyle #healthy #health #meditation #fitspo #fitness #foodie #naturopathy #naturalhealth #lifestyle #mentalhealth #nutrition #nutritionist
Tranquility. After work I went for a walk and found this quiet spot. I sat here pondering for what felt like an eternity. Ideas flowed. Calmness set in. Serenity. . . . . #tranquility #pondering #relax #walk #sunset #instaphoto #instagood #instahealth #photography #picoftheday #photographer #healthy #health #nutrition #nutritionist #foodie #healthylifestyle #fit #fitness #fitspo #serenity #calm #nature #naturalhealth #grateful #ideas @sydney @australia
Evening beach walk. Although I’m far away from the fires, you can see the effect of the smoke surrounding Sydney. The second photo you can barely see the cruise ship which would normally be clearly visible. . . . . #sydney @sydney #climatechange #climate #beach #walk #health #environment #healthy #life #instahealth #nutrition #beachwalk #waves #care #love #australia @australia #besafe #safe #takecare
Reflections. Afternoon walk along the beach reflecting on the week that was 🌊.

Herbal medicine plays a major role in the management of chronic disease. Celebrating Herbal Medicine Week. 🌱 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Platelet activation and aggregation play a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Herbal medicines have been traditionally used in the management of CVD and can play a role in modifying CVD progression, particularly in platelet function, and have the potential of altering platelet function tests, as well as some coagulation parameters. Herbal medicines, such as feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginseng, motherwort, St John's wort, and willow bark, were found to reduce platelet aggregation. In vitro studies show promise in the reduction of platelet aggregation for Andrographis, feverfew, garlic, ginger, Ginkgo, ginseng, hawthorn, horse chestnut, and turmeric. In addition, cranberry, danshen, dong quai, Ginkgo, ginseng, green tea, and St John's wort were found to have potential interactions with warfarin. Furthermore, St John's wort interacted with clopidogrel and danshen with aspirin. Therefore, repeat testing of platelet function and coagulation studies, particularly for patients on warfarin therapy, may be required after exclusion of herbal medicines that could have possibly affected initial test results. 🌿 @naturalmedicineau @endeavourcollege #herbalmedicineweek #herbalmedicine #herbs #medicine #naturalhealth #naturopathy #health #healthy #instahealth #nutrition #nutritionist #naturopath #foodie #fitspo #fitness #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #research #cardio #cardiovascular #heart #herbal #journal #article #cardiometabolic
