Health & Wellbeing
Summer is the time to soak up the sunshine and spend time outdoors with friends and family. Everyone seems to be out and about, swimming, cycling, running or surfing. On the flipside is the common perception that we are spending more and more time in front of a television or computer screen, eating junk food and becoming overweight.
The Open Forum featured forum on Health and Wellbeing puts the finger on our country’s pulse – how are we as a society? It’s an important question, as the health of the individual affects the wellbeing of the whole community.
We will look at nutrition and the impact of a balanced diet on our wellbeing. How do drugs and alcohol affect our communities and the economy? Is there any merit in alternative medicines, like homoeopathy, naturopathy or chiropractic? How can we stay fit and active? What makes us happy? We will consider different groups in our community. Are we taking good care of the more vulnerable members of our society? How are our children, disabled persons, the elderly and Indigenous Australians?
We will aim for an integrated approach that not only looks at our physical health, but also at our mental wellbeing, as a healthy mind and a healthy body go hand in hand.

For next generation
We raise a generation who has fun with T.V and knows it as an entertainment. We've developed different kinds of video games and at last recently we recognized what a mess we made! So the question is here what should we do? As you mentioned going out having some physical activities should be part of our free time, but how!? I think discussions are great, but they're not the solution, beside them some events would be great…

for next generation
Let's turn the video game, TV, computer off and just say "We are going outside, do some gardening with your family, go for a walk to the park and play, go for a swim". I have a four year old and I find myself letting her in front of the TV watching Dora and anything educational that is fun BUT I have to think everyday how much has she watched today, has she been outside to do some exercise. I simply turn it off and say lets go for some time outside or do some of my exercise and take her with me (run to the park and then play). Parents, stand up and be the parent and not be controlled by your children. They will appreciate it and the time spent with them shows they are loved.

Holistic approach is needed
There have been many attempts to establish holistic approaches yet many do not go far enough. We are still plagued by rampant cancer. We still have extensive strokes and heart attacks. On average we are living longer but it is questionable if we are living well. We have to start by understanding that we are energy in a body and that the body depends on its immune system. How we treat and feed it is paramount to wellbeing. Many would possibly think it is over-servicing but why not have a central registry where we enter, obtain a blood breakdown as far as is possible, have a pathologist and biochemist view the vitamin deficiencies, have relaxation theraphy, dietician examine the daily diet and a fitness assessment. All of this could be complemented by a medical traditional examination to monitor the health progress. Stress management and avoidance techniques via meditation would also be advisable. Is this a recipe for a health farm?

Hello, Getting a fake and a real (genuine) passport, ID
or driving license or any other document is simple. we
can make you both real and fake documents.
However, the real documents are more expensive than the
fake because it takes time, skill and contacts to get
it done. Note that, the fake is going to be 100% unique
and in very good quality. The difference is based on
the registration of the numbers. The real Document will
be registered with the country’s database so you can
use it to travel to any country of your choice or in
the country, mean while the fake will not be registered
but can be used as well.
