I believe it means to be mentally, physically and emotionally stable and well. When I am at my healthiest, I am with the people I love like my family, eating good and nutritious foods and moving my body by doing physical exercise I enjoy. Having all these factors, make me live a healthy well balanced life. ]]> 2023-10-08 13:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gwdfzqn879_/23z7vh7foohfzzqf/wish/2737042957 gwdfzqn879_ https://padlet.com/gwdfzqn879_/23z7vh7foohfzzqf/wish/2737043177 One of my family's favourite things to do together is eat. We love coming together and sitting while eating our favourite meals / foods.

One of our favourite foods includes my mums famous caramel slice. Growing up, me and my siblings would come home from school after a long day and there would be caramel slice laying out on the bench for us. This was the best part of the day for sure. 

In Australia, it's very rare were you would go to a bakery and they wouldn't sell caramel slice. It's a classic in every aussie bakery you see.

People use natural medicines like Tea Tree Oil and Desert Mushrooms to cure different wounds and medical conditions. 

Tea Tree oil comes from crushed tea tree bark leaves. People would crush the leaves then apply them to wounds. The wounds could include acne, fungal infections and scars. They can also be made into a tea and used to help with a sore throat.

This instrument is made up of eucalyptus trees that have been hollowed out by termites. This beautiful instrument is normally played at the beginning of public ceremonies. These ceremonies can be sunsets, funerals and sporting events. It has been around for more then 40,000 years.

Afghanistan is located in central Asia.  On the Australian refugee health practice guide, there are health concerns outlined that people coming from Afghanistan could possibly have. 3 of those health concerns include:

Malnutrition: Malnutrition is when someone either is under-malnourished or overweight and over consuming (WHO, 2023).  Afghanistan have been suffering from malnutrition really badly for the past 7 years and have hit an all time high. When coming into Australian people from Afghanistan can be educated about foods and getting the right nutrients they need to live a healthy lifestyle.

Anaemia: Anaemia is where someone does not have enough healthy red blood cells. This can reduce peoples iron levels and affects them in their ability to work or think. To help someone who has anaemia coming from Afghanistan, it's important to feed them Vitamin C rich foods like oranges and tomatoes. They can also have iron rich foods like lean meats.

HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus: HIV is a virus that attacks the bodies immune system. Once someone has been diagnosed with HIV, they have it for the rest of their life as there is no cure. When refugees are travelling through countries, they may have contracted the virus by partaking in sexual relationships or visiting a high HIV common population. To protect refugees, they can assure their vaccinations are up to date or receive them.

When having effective communication, I have gained and improved my understanding on how to communicate with people of different cultures in the right manner. Having gained this understanding, I now feel more confident looking after people who are of a different culture to me in a respectful way. In the workplace, this skill is very important as you come across many different cultures, nationalities and people. You need to be able to communicate with them in a respectful way.
