Sometimes, through disease or infection, it becomes cloudy and impairs vision. Corneal transplants can be done using donated corneas from recently deceased persons. Since the cornea has no blood supply, the success rate of this type of transplant is high. We don't want to discourage you from enjoying your holiday dinners but good health is all about choices. Choosing white turkey meat over dark saves 3.4 grams of fat (1.2 grams of which is saturated) per 3 oz. portion. During the holiday season, portion control also plays a huge part in healthy eating. Enough said! What do you do for a cough? There are two main types of cough medication: Suppressants and expectorants. Suppressants usually contain dextromethorphan (DM). It acts by increasing the cough threshold in the brain and usually you will get results within 15-30 minutes, lasting 6-8 hours. Expectorants usually contain guaifenesin and are supposed to thin the sputum to enable the cough to clear it. Mixed results are seen but used with increased fluid, expectorants can help. If you are taking narcotics routinely for pain, pay close attention to your bowels. A common side effect is constipation and starting on a laxative right away will keep the bowels moving well.
