Find the right meds at your pharmacy? First see a doctor!
Going straight to your pharmacy without seeing a doctor may end up making you more sick than you are. And if you’re searching online, you could be popping a pill that’s all wrong for you.
Stop diseases before they stop you
We’ve all heard the phrase ‘prevention is better than cure’. But what does it actually mean? It means that it’s far better to diagnose and stop diseases in their tracks than leave it too late.
How to make the most of a doctor’s visit
We’ve all been there: sitting opposite a doctor as they ramble on about health matters that affect you, yet you have no idea what they’re talking about. Between the medical terms and the hard-to-pronounce medicines, they may as well be speaking Spanish.
Make food your medicine
The best way to boost your health is through the food you put into your body. Studies show that diet makes the greatest difference when it comes to preventing diseases and chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and stroke.
The power of plants
Plant-based remedies can help with minor illnesses, but when it comes to more serious conditions, you could be doing more harm than good with that home-made herbal brew. Seeing or chatting to a doctor should always be your first step.
Home hacks and remedies
Whether you’ve made yourself a hot brew of honey, lemon, and ginger, or you’ve covered yourself in coconut oil, or you’ve taken on a trending health challenge, you’ll know that home remedies can feel like a quick and easy fix.
How to eat well for less
One of the easiest ways to improve your health and keep diseases away is through the food you eat. But healthy food is expensive, right? Wrong! Swapping out harmful foods for healthy ones can actually save you money.
Eating right for a diabetes diet
Learning to live with diabetes doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. Get your diet right, and you’ll find yourself facing fewer dips and spikes. Here’s a simple guide to getting all the good stuff you need and cutting out the bad.
Stop searching your symptoms online & see a doctor
We all do it, don’t we? As soon as we feel sick – a sudden fever, a strange rash, a sore tummy – we search online before we do anything else. But this could do you more harm than good.
