Phm. Muscle cramps? Try this for relief. It's been called the "acu-pinch" and calls for firmly, pinching your upper lip just below the nose between your thumb and index finger for 20 - 30 seconds. Works about 80% of the time. (If you are hiccupping while cramping, it could relieve that too!) Easy ways of avoiding jet lag: Don't drink alcohol but do drink a large glass of water every hour during the flight. Also eat lightly and avoid fatty foods. We spend about 1000 hours per year eating. We can use these hours to keep our bodies in good working order by feeding it the right fuel. Canada's Food Guide is an ideal route to follow. For good nutritional information, call a registered nutritionist. Mothers breastfeeding their newborn should use caution when taking medications. Some drugs find their way into the breast- milk and could be toxic to the infant because of the baby's inability to metabolize the medication and eliminate it from the body. Get advice before taking any medication. We have a well-stocked reference library in our pharmacy to help us answer your questions about medications.
