There have been recent reports of patients stopping their #aspirin inappropriately, misinterpreting the media regarding #ASPREE as also applying to secondary prevention. We wrote this blog to help demystify things for patients @HeartAust heartfoundation.org.au/news/…

Ways to look busy:
1. Turn up later than everyone else but rush into the office looking annoyed
2. Act like spending half an hour in the toilet has annoyed you
3. Rush around with an open laptop looking annoyed
4. Get annoyed at a printer
5. Just generally look annoyed

In Australia, these foods contribute 35% of adults' and >40% of children's energy intake - this is the elephant in the room!
Diets high in fast foods & other processed foods high in fat, starches or sugars are a cause of overweight & #obesity by increasing the risk of excess energy intake relative to expenditure. Greater body fatness is a cause of many cancers: bit.ly/FastfoodWCRF #cancerprevention
