7 Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Sometimes simply not eating or drinking
alcohol too close to bedtime can solve sleeping
difficulties. 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.

What is liability insurance?
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.
