Friday wake-up call: Your blood pressure has secrets. 💚🩺
You watch your salt. You manage your stress. You even try to sleep better.

But here's what most people don't realize:
Salt, stress, AND poor sleep work together – quietly raising your blood pressure while you
go about your day.

🧂 Salt – Holds onto fluid, making your heart work harder
😫 Stress – Releases hormones that spike your pressure temporarily
😴 Poor sleep – Prevents your blood pressure from dipping naturally at night

When all three combine? It's a silent storm.
The good news? You can fight back.

✅ Cut back on hidden salt (sauces, breads, processed foods)
✅ Take 5 minutes to breathe deeply – twice a day
✅ Prioritise 7–8 hours of quality sleep

This Friday, make one small change. Your heart will thank you on Monday.
📍 Duff Scott Hospital – here to help you take control of your blood pressure.

Winter Itch Got You Scratching? You're Not Alone. ❄️🩹
June in South Africa means colder air, warm indoor heaters, and for many of us
dry, angry, itchy skin.

At Duff Scott Hospital, we see more rashes and eczema flare-ups this time of year than any other season. And we want you to know: relief is possible.
Why does winter make it worse?
✅ Cold air holds less moisture
✅ Hot showers strip natural oils
✅ Indoor heating dries out your skin
✅ Wool and heavy layers can irritate sensitive skin
What you might be noticing:
Red, inflamed patches
Dry, flaky, or cracked skin
Intense itching (especially at night)
Small bumps that leak or crust over
Thickened or leathery skin from repeated scratching
When should you visit Duff Scott Hospital?
If the rash is spreading or getting worse
If itching is keeping you (or your child) awake at night
If you see signs of infection – oozing, yellow crusting, or fever
If over-the-counter creams aren't helping
Don't suffer in silence. Your skin deserves better.
