Does ice cream top your list of comfort foods? Cool off instead with ½ cup of juicy, frozen blueberries topped with a creamy dollop of nonfat yogurt. This sweet dessert has almost no saturated fat, compared with 14 grams in some premium ice creams studded with rich extras. You slash the calories and sugar, too -- a bonus if you're watching your weight.

Cream cheese can still grace your morning whole-wheat bagel. Reach for the whipped type in the dairy case. You can save about half the calories and saturated fat. Compare: One popular brand has 100 calories in two tablespoons. The saturated fat hits 6 grams -- that's a third of your daily limit before lunchtime! The whipped version has half the saturated fat and 60 calories.

Fruit has it all -- lots of fiber, not many calories, and it's good for your weight and blood pressure. Go natural, though -- skip fruit that's canned in syrup. Even a cup of peaches in "light" syrup has 33 grams of sugar. That's like having a bowl full of fresh, juicy peach slices with a mini candy bar on the side.

Whip up muffins, quick breads, pancakes, cookies, and even chocolate cake with flaxseeds instead of eggs. To substitute for one large egg, stir 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds plus 1/8 teaspoon of baking powder in 3 tablespoons of water. You'll add fiber and avoid the cholesterol found in egg yolk. Both changes can help in keeping your cholesterol levels under control.

Dark chocolate contains plant-based antioxidant compounds called flavonoids, which are associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Some studies indicate that cocoa consumption is linked to a lower risk of high blood pressure in adults. Don't rely on chocolate alone for flavonoids though — you can also get them from fruits and vegetables, which additionally provide other vitamins and minerals.

Antihistamines prescribed for the treatment of allergies may interact with several meds. Antihistamines can make you tired, but if you take them with sedatives or tranquilizers, the combined effect can be even more exhausting. Allergy meds may interact with sedating antidepressants. The combined effect may impair your ability to drive and concentrate. Certain BP meds mixed with some antihistamines may cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure and heart rate. If you need to take a prescription or over-the-counter drug containing an antihistamine, speak to your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it doesn't interact with anything else that you're taking.

Antiseizure meds have the potential to increase or decrease the blood levels of other meds. Antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, birth control pills, blood thinners, antineoplastic drugs, and immunosuppressants are some of the meds whose blood levels may be affected if you take antiseizure meds. Potential drug interactions between antiseizure meds range from relatively mild to severe (for example, impaired thinking to increased number of seizures). Make sure your doctor and pharmacist have a complete list of the prescription drugs and over-the-counter meds you are taking and can check for potential drug interactions. Epilepsy is a serious medical condition. Take drug therapy as directed to minimize the risk of side effects and drug interactions.

Ginseng is an herb and dietary supplement that may promote bleeding and increase the effects of warfarin, heparin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is dangerous to consume ginseng when taking an MAO inhibitor because it may cause difficulty sleeping, nervousness, headaches, anxiety, and hyperactivity. Ginseng lowers blood sugar. Taking it along with diabetes medications that lower blood sugar or insulin may result in blood sugar that is too low.

Gingko biloba is an herb that promotes blood circulation and may help improve memory. Gingko may interfere with drugs prescribed to treat a variety of health conditions. High doses of the herb may make antiseizure medications like carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Equetro, Tegretol) and valproic acid (Depakote) less effective. Gingko may increase side effects of antidepressants, blood thinners, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It may enhance BP medication, making blood pressure too low. It may make anti-anxiety medications less effective. Gingko may affect blood sugar, so take care and ask a health care professional before using it if you take diabetes drugs.

It is very common for patients to not take medications as directed. They may either take less than they need, skip doses, or take doses at random times. All of this is dangerous and makes it much more likely that medical conditions are not properly treated. Follow your health care professional's orders for taking prescription medications. Ask about potential interactions with other drugs and possible interactions with foods, herbs, and supplements. Meds need to be taken as directed to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
