Welcome to Fit Brain Dragon

Welcome to my Blog and to musings, wisdom (perhaps) and other stuff from my world of Mental Health and Dragon Boat Racing in Adelaide, South Australia.



Mental Health is but one aspect of overall health and shares this Blog (and my mind) with Dragon Boat Racing, an accessible fitness activity that I have chosen for myself. I am not alone in my conviction that you can not have health without having mental health. It is also true, though less often said, that you can't have mental health without having physical health.



This rather obvious relationship is surprisingly missed too often by too many. This Blog will feature my thoughts about mental health and about the value of Dragon Boat Racing in my life.



In my experience as a Mental Health Nurse and a Counsellor many people with chronic health problems such as Diabetes, Arthritis and Depression may find enormous advantage in linking themselves to medical and other supports as well as a team sport such as Dragon Boat Racing.

It has been demonstrated in Type 2 (late onset)Diabetes for example that a proper routine of diet and exercise is a more effective first line treatment than medications.

New Season 2010-2011

Ah...first meeting of the season. A new group filled with ideas, promise and willingness for the success of the new season.
Dinner and meeting at Gio's Portobellos at New Port. Excellent.
A fair exchange of shared views and of conflicting views. Committee work always has its challenges.
Priorities are clearly recruitment. We have lost so many paddlers for a number of reasons so we must replace them to remain viable.
Major focus also on fundraising and sponsorship. Hey universe...any ideas?
God Bless dragon boat racing. Our training season starts this weekend..beewdy!!
