Health Tips

Check expiration dates of medications.You’ll probably be refilling prescriptions and using them up fairly regularly, but periodically check expiration dates on products you've had around for a while. Be sure to discard any that are past their expiration date.

Monitor your blood sugar carefully.Drugs that cause your body to make more insulin can sometimes cause low blood sugar, a potentially dangerous situation you want to guard against. Be aware of your blood sugar level so you can take action if it starts to dip too low.

Sip smarter.

The average 12-ounce can of regular soda contains about 150 calories and 38 grams of carbohydrates—the equivalent of more than nine teaspoons of sugar. Replace your soda with herbal iced tea or seltzer water with just a splash of cranberry juice. Both drinks are low in calories but still refreshing and tasty.

Try quick workouts.As long as you're totaling 30 minutes of exercise each day, several brief workouts are fine.

Consume proper proportions.Keep portion sizes under control by dividing your plate. Fill one half with vegetables, and split the other half into two quarters. Fill one quarter with a lean protein (fish, skinless poultry, beans, or tofu) and the other with a grain or starch-based side dish (brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, or bread).
