Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
It's always preferable to prevent a disease than to
have to treat it. This idea really got its start in the
late 1700s with the discovery of a vaccination that
prevented smallpox. Today, due to vaccines, we can
prevent many deadly diseases like cholera, rabies,
tetanus, typhoid fever, yellow fever, measles, mumps and rubella,
polio and flu. The science of immunization is truly a triumph of
public health.
Speaking of flu, when you get your flu shot, try to ensure you get a
good night's sleep the night before. This will enhance your immune
system and help the flu vaccine work better.
Our bronchial tubes contain millions of tiny hairs called cilia that
are responsible for keeping our airways clean. They are constantly
in motion and work like little cleaning devices that rid the lungs of
toxins and pollutants. Cigarette smoking reduces the numbers of
these little hairs resulting in less protection for the lungs.
The lowly fig is not often thought of as a snack. But it's a great
one, full of fibre, few calories and they taste good too! Four figs
contain 5 grams of fibre.
Many people aren't aware they can ask the pharmacist for advice
on non-prescription medications. Some people feel the pharmacist
is too busy but I want you to know that we are never too busy to
answer your questions medications. It's part of our job description
and one that we really enjoy.
