On the tenth
day of
Christmas,
my pharmacist gave
to me...
Suncream for walks in the
winter sun
Christmas brings with it a sense
of cabin fever and you may want
to break out of the monotony by
getting outdoors. But beware the
winter sun. Wear SPF all year round.
Shorter daylight hours also
reduces serotonin levels leading
to feelings of depression, irritability
and lethargy, otherwise known as
Seasonal Affective Disorder which
affects one in 50. Going outdoors
in the day may help improve your
mood, appetite and sleep.

On the
eleventh day
of Christmas,
my pharmacist gave
to me...
A blood pressure check to
reduce the risk of heart attacks
You may not think it, but heart
attacks are more likely to occur
in the winter months as colder
temperatures means your body
works harder to stay warm,
increasing blood pressure and
putting a strain on your heart.
Keep an eye on your blood
pressure levels but also aim to stay
warm by making sure your home
temperature is at least 18 degrees.
An electric blanket or hot water
bottle can also help.

On the
twelfth day
of Christmas,
my pharmacist gave
to me...
Rehydration salts after a bout
of norovirus
Try as hard as you might,
sometimes there is just no escaping
winter ailments. But the one you
really want to avoid is the winter
vomiting bug, norovirus. It is highly
contagious and causes severe
sickness and diarrhea lasting two
to three days, leaving you lethargic
and exhausted.
You may not be able to eat
much but it is important to remain
hydrated by taking in clear fluids.
Merry Christmas to all our
customers and Aroundtown
readers from Andrew and the
team at Good Measure.
