HEALTH 10 Christmas,
On the tenth day of
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.
11 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.
12 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.
