As we're cheering on our team USA Olympic athletes, remember that you too can get out there on the court, track, or in the pool to keep your body healthy. We may not be able to compete with the Olympians but we can still work out the most important muscle in our body, the heart!

Exercising for at least 150 minutes a week at a moderate intensity level (50-70% of your max heart rate) or 75 minutes a week of high intensity level (76-95% of your max heart rate) will help your health in a multitude of ways. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight, and blood glucose levels will all be improved by including exercise to your weekly regimen.

Stay hydrated out there on these hot summer days! Make sure to drink adequate water and if you have been sweating a lot, make sure to replenish your electrolytes!

Sodium is something that people with high blood pressure should be mindful of their intake as to make sure they don't have too much. However, sodium is very important in regulating our body's hydration. When we sweat on these hot and humid days, we lose water and electrolytes such as sodium, chloride, and some potassium.

Stay healthy and hydrated!

At Andy's Pharmacy we carry products from multiple high quality supplement brands. If you're looking for a certain product and want to make sure you're getting exactly what you're paying for, check with us!

The FDA does not approve supplements that come onto the market but instead identify supplements that are causing harm and get them removed. There are certifications that the manufacturers can acquire that show they have been tested for quality, safety, and sanitation. Two of these certifications are USP and NSF. We recommend purchasing products with these certifications to assure that you are getting what you're paying for.

Whether its a vitamin, mineral, berberine, ashwagandha, or another supplement we can help you get a superior product compared to what you will find at most other retail pharmacies!

Weight loss has been an extra hot topic lately. Many new medications have found ways to help curb appetite and therefore reduce the amount of calories consumed.

However these medications are extremely expensive and hard to find due to high demand. There are many other options to help with weight loss that cost considerably less.

Fiber - The USDA recommends that adult women get 21-25 grams of fiber a day and adult men get 30-38 grams of fiber a day. Fiber plays a HUGE part in weight loss since it is a natural appetite suppressant. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains contain fiber. Adding more of these food groups into your meals can help you stay full longer, reduce snacking, and reduce overeating. Fiber can also be added with supplements!

Exercise - As we all know, moving your body burns calories. Your body stores the calories you don't need at the time after eating as fat. As you exercise, your body breaks down that stored fat to use as energy. Eating less and moving more will have results! Even if that moving is walking, going up/down stairs, or doing yard work.

At Andy's Pharmacy, we want you to be the healthiest you!

Come see or call us if you are diabetic and struggling to get your A1C to goal, experiencing frequent highs or lows, or just want some extra information about diabetes in general. Since the newer medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro have been in short supply for some time now, we want to look back the basic and proven methods of controlling diabetes.

There are many lifestyle modifications that can help manage diabetes. Exercise as simple as walking for 30 minutes can help immensely in increasing your body's sensitivity to insulin and thereby lowering blood sugar. Finding alternative foods that are higher in fiber with lower glycemic indexes can also make a huge impact.

There are also supplements available that can provide some additional benefit for blood sugar and weight control. Berberine is a supplement that has been shown to help with insulin resistance and the metabolism (or break down) of glucose.

We want to help you be the healthiest version of you!
