www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, April 3, 2015 | 8 Good business a way of life for these winners How Can I prevent Heartburn? There are several lifestyle changes one can make to help manage and prevent excess stomach acid and heart burn. · The most significant change is for patients to lose weight if they are overweight · Other helpful lifestyle changes are to: · Limit medicines that can make GERD symptoms worse, such as Advil (ibuprofen) and Aleve (naproxen) · Avoid alcohol and smoking · Limit spicy, fatty or acidic foods, or other foods that can trigger increased stomach acid, such as onions, peppermint, and chocolate · Raise the head of the bed 6 to 8 inches to reduce nighttime heartburn · Eat smaller meals and avoid overeating · Do not lay down right after eating · Do not eat within two hours of bedtime · Wear loose-fitting clothes that are not tight around the waist Robert Nashat, Pharm.D, CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator) 905-845-2811 340 Kerr Street, Oakville Free Delivery & 15% Senior Discount Everyday! Voted Best Independent Pharmacy in Oakville two years in a row! www.leonpharmacy.ca Leon Pharmacy continued from p.3 is a "passion to serve," which extends into the community with the FCT Charitable Foundation (FCTCF). It has supported organizations such as Canadian Red Cross, United Way, Canadian Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity and Food for Life, among others. "When you have the capacity and resources to help others and invest in the community, it's a really positive thing for both the person who's able to give, as well as the receiver. It's a win-win," said Rinella. "From our perspective, it's wonderful to be able to be in a position where we can do that." Mye Japanese Restaurant was given the Restaurateur of the Year accolade. Owner and executive chef Motoaki Aoki said it's hard to put into words his reaction to receiving it, since it's recognizing "my life accomplishment." Three years ago, Aoki celebrated the restaurant's 25-year anniversary with a fundraiser that fetched $100,000 for the new Oakville hospital. He has donated an additional $50,000 since then. "My son was born in the exact same year we opened, 27 years ago, so it is very, very important for us to live with the community and to return (support) to the community. That's our main goal as a business," said Aoki. Large Business of the Year was awarded to Media Resources International, which provides integrated vertical market solutions and end-to-end services to the sign industry. Steve Gallow, managing director/partner, attributes the recognition to its customers and approximately 100 employees, as "without them, we would be nothing," he said. "We're totally excited and we're humbled (by the award). This is an honour we're going to proudly present on our website and through all of our correspondences." Proceeds from the annual event provide funds for the RCOW's numerous youth and academic programs, such as the Oakville Awards for Academic Excellence, the Oakville Youth Development Centre and Camp Enterprise.
