All Walkers must be registered or they will not be allowed to walk with us..... You can register at the Heart Foundation website here...... bit.ly/KommunitiWalkingGroupKingsley The wonder drug Walking for an average of 30 minutes or more a day can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke by 35% percent and Type 2 diabetes by 40%. It’s not just your heart and muscles that benefit from walking. Regular physical activity can help: reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke manage weight, blood pressure and blood cholesterol prevent and control diabetes reduce your risk of developing some cancers maintain your bone density, reducing your risk of osteoporosis and fractures improve balance and coordination, reducing your risk of falls and other injuries improve our daily mood which cumulatively leads to better mental health Find your 30 All adults aged 18-64 years should aim for 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. That’s 30 minutes on five days of the week. It’s considered ‘moderate’ if it takes some effort, but you’re still able to talk comfortably. Or start with 10 If you can’t find time for a 30-minute walk, try breaking your 30 minutes of walking into three 10-minute sessions on each of 5 days, is just as beneficial as doing the 30 minutes in one go! If you're already finding your 30, you should consider picking up the pace, as people who are already active will benefit even more by exercising harder and longer. For more health benefits, do 300 minutes of moderate activity each week, or 150 minutes of vigorous exercise. ‘Vigorous’ exercise means it requires more effort and makes you breathe harder and faster, for example, jogging where it becomes difficult to hold a conversation. Some activity is always better than none When it comes to walking for heart health, some is better than none (and more is even better). If you're not physically active, start by doing 10 minutes of brisk walking, and gradually build up to the recommended amount. Visit your GP or health professional for advice on how to safely build up your movement. Have a heart condition? Walking with guidance or supervision is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation programs, and for people diagnosed with heart disease or recovering from a heart attack. But it’s important to speak with your GP to learn how to safely build up your activity. For more information on ways to build up your walking after a heart event or surgery, visit heartfoundation.org.au or call the Heart Foundation Helpline on 13 11 12 for free personalised information and support on heart health, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

You need to register here for the Zoom Link: http://bit.ly/KommunitiTheFutureOfFood Food is about connection. It connects us to each other, to nature, to culture and to the economy around us. It affects our health, our moods and even our ability to learn. The future of food, therefore, has impacts on the future of everything else we care about, and in particular on the sustainability of our climate and ecosystems. Right now much of the food we consume is making us unhealthy and unhappy while simultaneously destroying the sustainability of the ecology humans have always relied on. How can we turn this around? This session of Think|Act|Change will bring together leaders in food innovation and sustainability to share their insights on where things are moving and how to make a food system that is better for us and for the world. Confirmed speakers: David Carter, CEO Austral Fisheries, the world's most sustainable and first carbon neutral fisher Erica Hughes, Founder and CEO, Farmer Meets Foodie Ankit Chopra, Co-founder, Eat Me Chutney Tim Silverwood, Co-founder, Ocean Impact Organisation Alana Mann, Chief Investigator of FoodLab Sydney and the Associate Professor and Chair of Media and Communications at the University of Sydney.
