KATIE EMMRICH SUMMER EMPLOYMENT OFFICER r Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello We all know walking is good exercise. Walking in sand is even better. You'll burn 20% more calories because you have to work harder walking. Sand doesn't push back on your step as much as solid ground does so you expend more calories. Like high blood pressure, kidney disease usually progresses silently often destroying kidney function before causing any symptoms. Warning signs of kidney disease include: high blood pressure, passage of cloudy or bloody urine, excessive foaming of the urine, puffy hands and feet, and frequent urination during the night. Check with your doctor if you are concerned. Mosquitoes are a fact of life in most areas of Canada. There are no mosquitoes in Antarctica but who wants to move there? DEET - containing insect repellents still work the best. Brand examples include Deep Woods, OFF and Muskol. Chemical sunscreens are not recommended for infants under six months of age. For infants, the best sunscreen is sun avoidance. The best part of our staff's job is talking to you, our customers. It's this person-to-person interaction that we feel is an important part of our pharmacy service. Let our pharmacists be your pharmacists.
