Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
Blood pressure high? You can lower it by
limiting your alcohol and salt intake, exercising
daily (30 minutes), increase your intake of fresh
fruits and vegetables and lose weight. A 20 Ib.
drop in weight could educe blood pressure by 5-
20 points.
We pharmacists are often asked "How do you read the doctors'
writing"? It can look illegible sometimes but more and more doctors
are computerizing prescription -writing. The 8"x11" sheet lists the
new prescriptions plus all the other prescriptions the patient is
taking. A great step forward!
Constipation refers to the difficulty of having a bowel movement
not the frequency. For some people, normal bowel habits mean two
bowel movements per week. Interestingly, it takes about three days
for food to pass through the body. If you are a vegetarian, it takes
half the time due to more fibre in your diet.
At this time of year, our skin can become very dry and our
fingertips can crack. To avoid these problems increase your water
consumption and apply a good moisturizing cream to dry areas.
Applying when skin is still moist enhances absorption. To treat
those cracking finger and thumb -tips, using creams containing urea
is very helpful. This will work for cracked heels as well.
