In the Spring it is still a good idea to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, but you can start taking out those wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses, broad-spectrum (SPF-15) sunscreens! Summer will be here before you know it!
Make healthy food choices like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products. A Laclie Pharmacy tip is to make half your plate fruits and vegetables, a quarter your grains, and a quarter your protein! For some nutrition information in Orillia talk to us at Laclie's!
Try to avoid your screen before you go to bed. When you're exposed to bright lights in the evening, it can disrupt your production of the sleep hormone melatonin, keeping you awake longer!
If you need your screen time before bed try wearing a pair of amber-tinted glasses that block blue light from entering your eyes. This trick allows melatonin to be produced as if it were completely dark, helping you sleep better.
Contrary to popular belief, natural health or homeopathic products aren't automatically safe. Any product can have side effects or cause drug interactions.

Avoid a spring flu or cold by taking care of yourself! Some ways to stay away from getting sick are to wash your hands, clean and disinfect surfaces, take multi-vitamins to boost your immune system.
