3. Almonds: These nuts are a great source of protein and healthy fats. A handful of almonds can give you a quick energy boost and keep hunger at bay.

4. Kale: A true superfood, kale is high in iron and vitamins, helping to increase oxygen transport in your body, which can fight off tiredness.

5. Bee Pollen: Considered a complete food, bee pollen is rich in proteins, amino acids, and vitamins, making it an excellent natural energy enhancer.

6. Banana: Bananas provide a quick source of natural sugars, potassium, and magnesium, which can help combat morning fatigue and support muscle function.

7. Spinach: High in iron, magnesium, and potassium, spinach helps maintain energy levels by supporting red blood cell function and muscle health.

8. Dates: These sweet fruits are loaded with natural sugars, fiber, and potassium, making them an excellent pick-me-up on groggy mornings.

9. Chia Seeds: Tiny yet powerful, chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, which help sustain energy and hydration levels.

At Pharmedic Pharmacy, we believe that the best medicine often comes from nature's bounty. One such superfood that can benefit your heart health is the versatile avocado. Rich in monounsaturated fats, avocados help reduce bad cholesterol levels, which in turn lowers your risk of heart disease. These heart-friendly fats are essential for maintaining healthy blood vessels and ensuring smooth circulation.

Avocados are also packed with potassium, a mineral that plays a crucial role in regulating blood pressure. Maintaining an optimal blood pressure level is key to preventing cardiovascular complications. By incorporating avocados into your diet, you can enjoy a natural source of potassium that helps keep your heart in check.

In addition to healthy fats and potassium, avocados contain a wealth of antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C. These antioxidants combat oxidative stress and inflammation, two major contributors to heart disease. With each creamy bite, you're nourishing your body with essential nutrients that support overall heart health.

We understand how crucial a good night’s sleep is for your overall well-being. As we navigate through our busy lives, it's easy to overlook the importance of healthy sleep habits. That's why we're sharing 10 essential sleep hygiene tips to help you drift off into a peaceful slumber.

1. Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Try to go to sleep and wake up at about the same times every day — even on weekends. This reinforces your body’s sleep cycle (your internal clock), which can make it easier for you to fall asleep and wake up every day.

2. Create a relaxing bedtime routine — and stick with it. Take a warm bath or shower. Not only is the water relaxing in the moment, but the drop in your body temperature as you cool down afterward may make you feel sleepy. Try some gentle stretches or yoga to help your muscles relax and release tension. Try listening to some soothing music while you focus on your breathing.

3. Turn off electronic devices before you go to sleep. Electronic devices like your phone emit blue light, which can reduce melatonin levels in your body. It’s similar to how seeing sunlight can make you feel more awake. Melatonin is a chemical that controls your sleep/wake cycle. When your levels dip, it can be more difficult to fall asleep. Devices that emit blue light can also keep your brain alert, making it harder to fall asleep.

4. Exercise regularly. As little as 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day can improve your sleep quality and overall health. Exercising outside might increase the benefits even more since exposure to natural light helps regulate your sleep cycle.

5. Limit your caffeine intake. Although it’s usually best to limit your caffeine intake to the morning hours, keep in mind that everyone has a different tolerance to caffeine.

6. Make your sleep environment work for you. The way you set up your sleep environment may help you fall asleep and stay asleep more easily. For most people, a bedroom temperature between 60 and 67°F (15.6 and 19.4°C) is the optimal temperature for sleeping. It’s also important to make sure you have a comfortable mattress, pillows, and bed linens. The more comfortable you are, the easier it may be to fall asleep and stay asleep.

7. Use your bed only for sleep and s*x. When you have a comfortable bed, it might be tempting to use it for reading, working, talking on the phone, watching TV, or other activities. However, it’s important to use your bed for sleep and s*x only. This helps strengthen your brain’s association between your bed and sleep, making it easier to fall asleep.

8. Go to bed only when you’re tired. If you’re not tired, avoid lying in bed while you toss and turn. Instead, try doing a relaxing activity until you start to feel tired, then head to bed.

9. Limit napping — or avoid it if you can. Napping during the day can make it harder to fall asleep later and may make you more prone to waking up during the night. If you do need a nap, Keep it to 20 minutes or less.

10. Limit large meals before bed. It may cause symptoms of acid reflux, which can keep you awake.

High cholesterol often goes unnoticed until it causes serious complications, but there are signs you should look out for. High blood pressure is a common indicator of elevated cholesterol levels as it forces the heart to work harder. Areas of swelling around your knuckles, knees, or the back of your ankle, known as xanthomas, are another sign. If you notice small yellow bumps near the corners of your eyes, this could also be a cholesterol-related condition. Corneal arcus, a white ring around the iris of your eye, is often associated with high cholesterol in individuals under 45. Finally, a stroke or heart attack can tragically be the first sign of high cholesterol in some people, emphasizing the importance of regular health checkups.

One of the most effective ways to manage high cholesterol is through diet. Incorporating these foods can help reduce cholesterol levels naturally:

1. Fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel, and herring, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower triglycerides and reduce cholesterol levels.

2. Oatmeal and oat cereals are high in soluble fiber, which helps prevent cholesterol absorption into your bloodstream.

3. Vegetables, particularly Brussels sprouts, are packed with fiber and nutrients that improve cholesterol levels and overall heart health.

4. Some oils, such as olive oil and canola oil, contain healthy fats that can replace saturated fats and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).

5. Nuts, like almonds and walnuts, are rich in unsaturated fats, which can help increase good cholesterol (HDL) and lower bad cholesterol (LDL).

Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. It’s a water-soluble vitamin that helps your body produce and maintain new cells, particularly red blood cells, and prevent changes in DNA that could lead to certain health conditions. Folic acid is commonly found in fortified foods and supplements, while folate, its natural form, occurs in leafy greens, fruits, and legumes.

Folic acid is vital for everyone, but it’s especially crucial for women of childbearing age and during pregnancy. It helps in the development of the baby’s neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord. Sufficient folic acid intake reduces the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. It also supports overall brain health, cardiovascular function, and proper cell division.

While folic acid is available through fortified cereals, bread, and pasta, you might still need supplements to meet the recommended daily intake, especially if you’re pregnant or planning to conceive. Adults typically need around 400 micrograms daily, while pregnant women require about 600 micrograms. If you’re unsure about your folic acid needs, our skilled pharmacists at Pharmedic Pharmacy are here to guide you!

Flu season is upon us, but relief is within reach! At Pharmedic Pharmacy, we’re here to guide you through remedies that can alleviate those uncomfortable flu symptoms and help you feel better faster. Here’s how some common medications can make a difference:

Pain Relievers – Fever, body aches, and headaches are common flu symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can help reduce fever and relieve muscle aches, helping you get through the day with less discomfort.

Decongestants – Congestion can make breathing difficult and cause sinus pressure. Decongestants work by narrowing blood vessels in your nasal passages, reducing swelling, and allowing for easier breathing.

Expectorants – If you’re dealing with a stubborn cough and mucus buildup, expectorants like guaifenesin help thin the mucus, making it easier to expel. This can clear up your airways and make you feel more comfortable.

Cough Suppressants – A persistent dry cough can be exhausting. Cough suppressants reduce the urge to cough, helping you get some much-needed rest. This can be especially helpful if nighttime coughing is keeping you awake.

Our team at Pharmedic Pharmacy can help you select the right products and provide expert guidance on symptom relief. Don’t let flu symptoms bring you down—visit us or call 403-316-0551 for more information. You can also explore our services on our website at pharmedicpharmacy.com!
