Here's a helpful hint ... swallow some wa- ter first, put the pill as far bsck on the tongue as possible, then drink a big gulp of water. By the way, stand up when you do this. Gravity will help get that pill down. Researchers are currently looking af4Australia's Great Barrer Reef --to find potential cancer cures. Chemicals extracted from coral and spong- es ere being screened. We can't say enough about the bad effects of uncontrolled hyperten- sion. Those affected are 4 times more likely to have a heart attack, 7 times the chance of having a stroke, and twice as likely to develop kid- ney disease. Have you had your blood pressure checked lately? There are three main reasons why people can't lose weight. They are habit, boredom and stiess. Think about it. Remember through the holiday season that alcohol and automobiles are a bad combination.
