Stress

The Most Important Thing You Can Do For Your Stress (Dr. Mike Evans)

A short booklet on the signs of stress, and ways we can help manage or prevent it.

Exercise

General Medical & Health Information

Generally speaking, when consulting with Dr. Google, try to frequent websites with ".edu" and ".gov" in the title, not ".blogspot"!
Government, university, and medical/scientific organisations present more solid evidence and background for a condition or question.

Contrary to popular belief, Wikipedia is a pretty good resource, as long as you bear in mind that it is editable by the public (luckily there are awesome nerds that keep an eye on their areas of expertise, so that any egregiously inaccurate information will often be edited back again very quickly) and you actually follow up the references (this is good practice when doing any research).

For more information about what to look for when you are looking up health information online, check out our recent blog here.

Some good websites to start you off:

Health Direct  Trusted health information and advice online and over the phone (1800 022 222), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Funded by the governments of Australia. 

Medline Plus and the US National Library Of Medicine are provided by the US National Institute of Health.

The Better Health Channel Information provided by the Victorian State Government

WebMD One of the largest "Dr. Googles" around. Generally quality information, a bit clickbait-y in design and format, but a good place to start researching your area of interest; just remember that the primary purpose of websites like these is not to inform and educate, but to make money (hence the clickbait titles and ads everywhere). They do have good information on the whole. 

John Hopkins Health information from one of the top medical facilities in the world.

Speciality organisations like the National Asthma Council (Australia), the American Heart Association, or Muscular Dystrophy UK, to name a few examples, are great places to research a particular condition, and will have plenty of information, research and reputable links you can use to springboard off to other sources.
