Medical Supplies: Not Mixing Up Your Meds

Filed in archive Did you know , Diet and Food on February 28, 2010

Not Mixing Up Your Meds
© taiyofj
Due to my hyperthyroidism and its complications, I've been taking a lot of meds recently. In the process I am forced to stick to a heart-healthy, low-purine, low-carb diet. It's not a walk in the park. First of all, I have to eat (properly) on time so I can drink the meds. Then I get awful hunger pangs in between meals. I'm guessing it is all those meds.

My mother suggested dietary supplements. But then I am against it at the moment. With all the meds I'm taking, I don't want any complication or mess up or cancel each med's power out. Know what I mean? I just wanna stick to medical meds at the moment and not mix it up with any herbal stuff.

Anyways...drinking a lot of medicines can be hard to manage at times. It's good to have a reliable medical supplies source at any given time.

I'm hanging in there. Are you encountering any problems? Do let us know.

Heartwarming Smiles Campaign: Putting Some Heart into Brushing your Teeth

Filed in archive Oral Health on February 28, 2010

Heartwarming Smiles Campaign: Putting Some Heart into Brushing your Teeth
In time for American Heart Month, WomenHeart: the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, has partnered with Colgate-Palmolive to launch Heartwarming Smiles, a campaign to educate people on the impact oral health may have on their heart health.

Recent research suggests that poor oral health, specifically serious gum disease, may impact heart health. Heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S., according to the CDC, yet there is a lack of communication between patients and their dentists and physicians. In fact, a new national survey found:


  • More than half (53%) of Americans with primary care physicians report that they never discuss their oral health during appointments with them

  • More than one in three (35%) Americans visiting dentists regularly say that they never discuss any non-dental medical issues during their dentist visits



Heartwarming Smiles hopes to spark conversations between dentists, physicians and their patients to improve oral care and heart health. Check it all out.

In line with First Lady Michelle Obama's childhood obesity initiative, HINT Water (www.drinkhint.com) is launching their new "Moms Against Sugar Water" campaign, urging both schools and parents to eliminate sugary beverages. The brand is already working with schools in New York and California and is urging moms to voice their concerns about the healthy options in their children's schools. HINT is an all-natural, 0 calorie, 0 sugar essence water with a "hint" of flavor created by husband and wife team Theo and Kara Goldin in 2005 when they couldn't find any healthy beverage options for their four kids.

The Lullabelly even comes with built-in speakers and adjustable volume control.

"Our study suggests that the closer [...] Read More


Fear Left by Breast Cancer Well Woman Blog
