☀️ Not all rays are created equal! UVA ages your skin, UVB burns it, and UVC -- though mostly blocked by the ozone layer -- can still pose risks in certain environments. Together, they contribute to photoaging: wrinkles, dark spots and premature skin damage.

At Meadowcrest Pharmacy, we'll help you choose the right sunscreen to shield your skin from harmful rays and keep it glowing for years to come. Stop by and let our pharmacist guide you to smarter sun protection!

Traveller's diarrhea is a common health concern for those visiting the Caribbean. This condition affects 22% to 64% of travelers and can significantly impact the enjoyment of a trip. To reduce the risk, travelers should practice good hygiene, be cautious with food and water consumption, and consider preventive measures. One option is the Dukoral® vaccine, which can help prevent traveller's diarrhea caused by Enterotoxic E. coli. This vaccine is particularly effective for trips to the Caribbean and Central America, and is recommended for those wanting to minimize the risk of illness during their vacation.

Speak to our pharmacist for more information.

Planning a Caribbean getaway? Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing essential information about travel-related illnesses and how to prepare for your tropical adventure. Let's start with Hepatitis A and B - two vaccine-preventable diseases that travelers should be aware of.
Hepatitis A is commonly transmitted through contaminated food and water, while Hepatitis B can spread through blood, sexual contact, or other bodily fluids.
Both vaccines are recommended for travelers to the Caribbean, especially if you'll be staying in areas with limited access to safe water or engaging in activities that increase your risk of exposure. Don't wait until the last minute - contact our pharmacist at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to discuss these and other important travel vaccines!

How to deal with Winter Blues?

Here are some recommendations on how to deal with winter blues from the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA):

Light Therapy: Light therapy involves exposure to a special type of light box that mimics natural sunlight. It can be very effective in improving mood and reducing symptoms of SAD.

Spend Time Outdoors: Getting some sunlight can help boost your mood. Take a walk during your lunch break, have your coffee outside, or simply sit by a window.

Increase Physical Activity: Exercise is a great way to improve your mood and reduce stress. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

Connect with Others: Social interaction is important for mental well-being. Make time for friends and family, join a club or group, or volunteer in your community.

Manage Stress: Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

Eat a Healthy Diet: Eating a healthy diet can help improve your overall mood and energy levels. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. A good night's sleep can help improve your mood and energy levels.

If you are struggling with winter blues, it is important to reach out for help.
Talk to your doctor or a mental health professional. They can help you develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

You can also find more information about winter blues on the CMHA website:
