And the answer is... ❤️ E. A and B. Bit of a tough one for you guys. An ICD is implanted under the skin much like a pacemaker. The ICD will monitor the heart’s rhythm, senses and detects rapid or slow heart rhythms such as Ventricular Fibrillation or Ventricular Tachycardia, treats abnormal rhythms with electrical therapy and then stores data for review later.

Welcome
Allied Health Thursday
We at NEFM are always look for ways to help with you and your family's health and wellbeing.

This week, we have a post from Daniel Thomson, from Barefoot Lifestyle, about ways to lower your cholesterol
Simple ways to lower your cholesterol
- limit or avoid fatty meats, processed meats, chicken skin
- limit cream, butter
- be wise with your snack choices - often snack foods contain hidden fats which increase cholesterol. Think about things like potato chips, biscuits and sweets.
- try to stick to fruit (2-3 serves daily is a good start), unsalted nuts, wholegrain crackers like vita-weat with tomato
- eat more: nuts (5 palmfuls or more per week), plant seeds, and oily fish such as salmon/ sardines/ tuna (2-3+ times per week)
- use avocado as a spread and use drizzles of olive oil in/ on foods (aiming for 60ml per day)
If your diet or snack options could use some work, check in with an Accredited Dietitian for some practical advice. 🙂
