10 Ways to Limit Sugar Sweetened
Beverages (SSB) in your community
Drinking sugary drinks is making us overweight and obese and causing serious health concerns for our community. It has been estimated that drinking one can of sugary drink per day can re-sult in up to 6.75kg of weight gain in one year. Our community can help improve health and well-being by working together to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks.
Professor Anna Peeters, a world health expert and currently the Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health at Deakin University visited Portland in July, as part of two workshops in the Glenelg Shire to help find ways to make it easier for workplaces, sporting clubs, community groups and the general community to reduce the amount of sugary drinks they provide and con-sume. The first workshop, aimed at organisation leaders and champions was held at Winda Mara in Heywood, while the second workshop aimed at community members and champions was held at Glenelg Shire Offices in Portland. Portland’s ‘hot spots’ of change include Portland District Health (PDH), JJ’s Kiosk located in the PDH foyer, Dhauwurd-Wurrung Elderly and Community Health Service (DWECH), North Neigh-bourhood Activity Group (NNAG’s), Portland Squash and Racquetball Club, Portland Aquatic Cen-tre (YMCA), GSC Youth events, Blue Light Disco, Scouts fundraisers, 3RPC Bingo, Community Gar-den Work For the Dole project, Portland Surf Club’s Little Nippers, Wannon Water, Portland Bas-ketball Association, Little Athletics and many more. Changes include, displaying water more prominently, reducing or ceasing sugary drink lines in drinks fridges, in-stalling water fountains, replacing cor-dials with artificially sweetened varie-ties, providing water purchase incen-tives, healthy catering policy, posters promoting bottled water and more. For information about resources to help you make changes in your com-munity, contact [email protected] or phone 55221197 during business hours.

Do you need a script? It is the policy at Active Health Portland that you see a
GP when you require a script.
It is the duty of care of your GP to ensure their patients are keeping in good health this is why we have this policy in place.
When you come in to get a script the GP can ensure that you are having no adverse
side effects and that the medication is helping you in the way it should.
Please ensure you check on your medication and scripts regularly so that you can make a time to organise a script well ahead of time. This will help to
ensure you can see your regular GP for the script that is required.
