Avoiding spicy foods can minimize heartburn problems which can wake you up. As well, reducing other fluid intake in the evening can minimize the need to go to the bathroom during the night. If you have one of those blood pressure monitors at home, don't forget to rest for two minutes before taking a reading. Other tips: keep your back supported with your legs uncrossed and the arm resting at heart level. Following these guidelines will give you more reliable results. To minimize jet lag when flying westward, try to stay awake during the daylight hours at your destination then sleep only when it gets dark. After arriving on an eastward flight, stay awake but avoid bright light in the morning then spend time outdoors in the afternoon. These tips help adjust your body clock to your new location. June is the month when seasonal allergies can be really annoying. There are some good antihistamines available to control the symptoms of sneezing, running nose and eyes, itchy throat etc. One thing to remember though. When you find one that works, take it on a regular basis during your "season" rather than on an "as needed" basis. Your symptoms will be much better controlled that way. Huron Apothecary Ltd.

Liability insurance covers the cost of dam- ages (for accident benefits, medical costs, lawsuits and awards) in the event of per- sonal injury or death from an accident involving the insured party. In other words, you are financially protected if you are held liable for an injury or loss by others arising from the operation of your vehicle. What is no-fault insurance? Many provinces in Canada now have some level of no-fault insurance in which each person's own insurance company pays for injury or damage up to a certain Iimit.This applies regardless of whether or not the insured person was at fault. In Quebec and Manitoba, for example, there is a pure no-fault. In Ontario, however, there is a threshold system in which the no-fault clause only applies up to a certain threshold of liability. So, if you are involved in an accident and injured, your own insur- ance covers the associated costs of treat- ment, living expenses, loss of work and pain and suffering. When to consider extra coverage The recommended level of liability insur- ance coverage is usually about $1 mil- lion.There are some situations in which you might want to increase your liability limit depending on the use of your vehicle. For example, if you drive into the U.S. on a regular basis, where liability settlements are generally higher than in Canada, you might want to consider higher coverage. If you carpool to work or drive groups of children in your car to school or after- school events, you might want to increase your coverage to reflect the higher risks to which you are exposed. Umbrella Liability Policy You can purchase an Umbrella Liability Policy that provides additional liability cov- erage to your home and car insurance. For example, If you have $1 million on your home and $1 million on your car, but don't feel it is sufficient, instead of adding $1 million to each, you can buy an Umbrella Liability Policy for an additional million that covers both.
