Chief Medical Officers' Log By the C.M.O. Lt Louise Hup Winter Wellness Guide As your Doctor aboard the USS Southern Cross I have noticed that some of you are not taking care to ward of the winter blues. Here are some tips for you all to follow in the coming months while back on your home planets while our ship is at the Utopia Shipyards. Winter Exercise: A recent poll of 5000 people at the United Federation of Planets academy found that 30% got no exercise at all during the winter months. It’s important to stay active through all four seasons! I also include that statement aboard ship even though we have a regimented thermostat on board, we do visit other planets and have visitors come aboard and some seasons are very different from your home planet. Winter Cold & Flu advice: Is it a cold or flu Do you have a sore throat, runny nose and a cough If so you most likely have a cold. If you have a fever and chills, and aches and pains all over your body, then you probably have the flu. Respiratory symptoms may develop later with the flu, often accompanied by a productive cough. Nausea and vomiting may also develop particularly with a cold. The average child gets up to eight colds a year, where us adults get two to four. If you cannot find a natural healer on your home planets please consult your ship’s Bajoran healer Louise Drew for natural remedies that help boost immunity and once affected to lesson the symptoms and help to speed up recovery. While these treatments can also decrease the frequency of colds and flu its still a good idea to keep yourself comfortably warm but not too hot and make sure the house is well ventilated while back home on your home planet. This winter look for: Fruit: Apples as they rich in antioxidants that protect the lungs, while grapefruit, kiwifruit, lemons, limes, mandarins, navel oranges and late- winter pineapples are excellent sources of vitamin C to help keep colds at bay. Vegetables: Asian greens such as bok choy, kale, spinach, silverbeet and avocados are good sources of folate, important for the function of body cells, but also for cardiovascular health. Winter vegetables rich in vitamin C include broccoli, brussel sprouts, peas, potato, cabbage and cauliflower. Pumpkin, sweet potato and carrots are rich in beta-carotene which when converted to vitamin A assist our immunity. Winter Soups to boost Wellness In Eastern traditions, the medicinal and culinary are very much interwoven with nutritious meals having a medicinal component as well. Key ingredients are onions, garlic, mushrooms and soybean products such as miso and tofu, incorporated into invigorating soups. In China a country back on Earth base stock is often made using chicken, while the Japanese use dried fish called bonito as the basis of their master stock dashi-which helps to lower high blood pressure. Shitake mushrooms, another component of dashi have excellent immune stimulating and restorative qualities, along with a rich flavour. In traditional oriental medicine these mushrooms are also known to help lower cholesterol. Garnished with onions and off set with pungent mucous- clearing foods such as horseradish, ginger and chilli, these soups can be uplifting and chilli these soups can be uplifting and tonifying. The combined effects of the soup heat and the pungency of the ingredients open up respiratory tract thereby helping to ward off colds. Eating for the Season Food that’s in Season not only tastes better, but is likely to contain ingredients that suit the body’s needs for that time of the year. Whatever the reason there’s something about seasonal eating that seems natural such as comforting stews with root vegetables in winter, strawberries and ice-cream in summer. 18 Vol.1 Issue 6 ScuttleButt

Hyposprays are a needle-free injection technology that works by forcing liquid medication at high speed through a tiny orifice, smaller than the diameter of a human hair, that is held against the skin. This creates an ultra-fine stream of high-pressure fluid that penetrates the skin without using a needle. An early pioneer of the technology is the Biojector 2000 (pictured) http://www.bioject.com PLAN Graphics by The House of L’Stok INJECTION VIAL Scale : 1 / 1 Date : STARFLEET HYPOSPRAY, GENERAL ISSUE - 2360 ScuttleButt July, 2007 19 Drawn : Kirok of L’Stok, Lt Cmdr, SFI Checked : SIDE ELEVATION END ELEVATION Plans show the general issue Hypospray as used by Starfleet in the 2360's through to the end of the 24th century WARNING THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS NO USER MAINTAINABLE PARTS MAINTENANCE BY STARFLEET QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
