Townsville has a huge number of sunny days per year, which is great, but if we don’t protect ourselves properly there are risks with spending time outside.

Show us how you are SunSmart and don't forget to use the #townsvilleshines hashtag.

Healthy Eating

It isn’t too late to start eating healthy! Healthy eating is a lifestyle, not a diet and doesn’t focus on one type of food or one type of nutrient.

Healthy eating isn’t about “good” and “bad” foods or restrictive diets. It’s about making small changes that you can continue long term.

Heart Attacks

What is a heart attack? The Heart Foundation explains:

A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery, which supplies blood to your heart, becomes blocked.

If you, or someone you know, is experiencing heart attack symptoms for greater than 10 minutes of rest, or if symptoms are severe, or they are getting worse, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
