Some people's meals have way less nutrients than some people's faces.

A healthy, active adult needs between 200 and 500 mg of sodium per day. So how much are we actually consuming? Current data shows that the average American consumes about 3,400 mg of sodium per day.

Eat less salt: no more than 6g a day for adults:
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
Even if you do not add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much.
About three-quarters of the salt you eat is already in the food when you buy it, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces.
Use food labels to help you cut down. More than 1.5g of salt per 100g means the food is high in salt.
Adults and children aged 11 and over should eat no more than 6g of salt (about a teaspoonful) a day. Younger children should have even less.

Take antibiotics only as prescribed:
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health threats in our generation. When antibiotics lose their power, bacterial infections become harder to treat, leading to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. Antibiotics are losing their power because of misuse and overuse in humans and animals. Make sure you only take antibiotics if prescribed by a qualified health professional. And once prescribed, complete the treatment days as instructed. Never share antibiotics.

Avoid restrictive diets:
Diets are generally ineffective and rarely work well long term. In fact, past dieting is one of the strongest predictors for future weight gain.
This is because overly restrictive diets actually lower your metabolic rate, or the amount of calories you burn, making it more difficult to lose weight. At the same time, they also cause alterations to your hunger and satiety hormones, which make you hungrier and may cause strong food cravings for foods high in fat, calories, and sugar.

Avoid artificial trans fats:
Artificial trans fats are harmful, man-made fats that are strongly linked to inflammation and heart disease (68Trusted Source).
Avoiding them should be much easier now that they have been completely banned in the United States and many other countries. Note that you may still encounter some foods that contain small amounts of naturally occurring trans fats, but these are not associated with the same negative effects as artificial trans fats.

Discuss Alternatives: If side effects are intolerable, talk to your doctor about alternative medications or treatments. There may be other options with fewer or more manageable side effects.

Coverage and Timing: Some insurance plans may require you to wait a certain period before getting a refill. Make sure your refill timing aligns with your insurance policy to avoid out-of-pocket costs.

06/08/2024

Ask your pharmacist if there is a generic equivalent available. Generic medications are usually much cheaper than brand-name medications.

Ensure that your prescription is accurate and legible. Confirm the medicine's name, dosage, and instructions with your healthcare provider.

04/27/2024

Be Wary of Online Pharmacies: If purchasing medicine online, be cautious and ensure the website is reputable and licensed. Avoid purchasing from unverified sources, as they may sell counterfeit or substandard products.

03/26/2023

Check the expiration date: Always check the expiration date before purchasing any medication. Expired medication can be ineffective or even harmful.
