Could your medicines affect


your driving? Many people taking prescription medicines that could be affecting their driving may not be aware of the problem, says a study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. Almost 20 percent of the 7,405


drivers taking part in the study had recently used a prescription medicine that could potentially cause problems with driving, but not all of them were aware of it. If you’re taking any type of


prescription medicines, your pharmacist will tell you whether or not it’s safe for you to drive while using them. It’s also important to read the leaflet that comes with your medicines to check for any other safety information. But if you’re in any doubt at all, ask your pharmacist for advice.


Heartbeat problems


affect men earlier A review of studies involving almost 80,000 people in Europe has found men tend to develop atrial fibrillation – a type of irregular heartbeat – about 10 years earlier than women on average. Published in the journal Circulation, the review also discovered being overweight is a major risk factor for the condition. “As elevated body mass index


seems to be more detrimental for men, weight control seems to be essential, particularly in overweight and obese men,” adds study author Dr Christina Magnussen.


Marital woes add pressure Men who exercise at high levels may be 86


percent more likely to develop hardening of the arteries than those who exercise at lower levels, suggest researchers writing in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Higher levels of exercise over time may cause stress on the


arteries, they claim. Higher levels of exercise is defined in the study as exercising for more than 450 minutes a week and lower levels as 150 minutes a week or less

The ups and downs of marriage may affect blood pressure – at least for men, claims a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health. Researchers


tracked changes in cardiovascular risk factors for 620 married British fathers over more than 10 years. Blood pressure in those


whose relationships were consistent showed little change. However it increased in fathers whose relationships had either improved or deteriorated during that time. Haven’t had your blood


pressure checked in a while? Many Careway pharmacies offer blood pressure services. Find your nearest participating pharmacy at www.careway.co.uk/find-a- pharmacy.

Stronger is healthy


University of Sydney experts suggest strength exercises are as important as cardiovascular exercise (jogging, cycling, aerobics etc), saying push-ups and sit-ups could add years to your life. “When people think of strength


training they instantly think of doing weights in a gym, but that doesn’t have to be the case,” says Associate Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, the study’s lead author. “Anyone can do classic exercises like triceps dips, sit- ups, push-ups or lunges in their own home or local park and potentially reap the same health benefits.”
