At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we believe prevention is one of the most powerful tools in protecting your health. While not all cancers can be avoided, adopting healthy lifestyle habits can significantly reduce your risk and improve your overall wellbeing.

Here are 9 preventive measures to keep in mind:

2. Limit processed meats – Reduce intake of foods like bacon, sausages, and deli meats.

3. Choose a balanced diet – Focus on plant-based foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, such as the Mediterranean diet.

4. Avoid alcohol or drink in moderation – Excessive alcohol use increases cancer risk.

5. Maintain a healthy weight and BMI – Extra weight can raise the risk of several cancers.

6. Stay active – Aim for 150 to 300 minutes of moderate physical activity per week.

7. Protect yourself from the sun – Use broad spectrum sunscreen, wear hats and sunglasses, and avoid direct sun exposure.

9. Get vaccinated – Protect against viruses linked to cancer, such as hepatitis B and HPV.

Breakfast cereals are often marketed as a quick and healthy way to start your day—but many aren’t as wholesome as they appear. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we want to help you make informed choices about your morning routine.

Many cereals are made with refined grains, which strip away important nutrients during processing. They often lack protein and fiber, leaving you less satisfied and more likely to feel hungry soon after eating. On top of that, even cereals marketed toward adults can be packed with added sugar, contributing to energy crashes and long-term health risks like weight gain and poor heart health.

Choosing cereals with whole grains, higher fiber, and lower sugar content can make a big difference. Pairing them with protein-rich foods like yogurt, nuts, or eggs can also help balance your breakfast and keep you energized throughout the day.

Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels. For many people, especially those with type 1 diabetes and some with type 2, insulin therapy is essential. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it’s used for energy. Without enough insulin, blood sugar rises, leading to serious health complications.

Insulin therapy works by replacing or supplementing the body’s natural insulin. It can be delivered through injections or insulin pumps, and doses are carefully tailored to each person’s lifestyle, diet, and blood sugar patterns. By keeping glucose levels within a healthy range, insulin therapy helps prevent long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision problems, while supporting overall energy and wellbeing.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we believe that protecting yourself against the flu starts with knowing your options. Flu vaccines aren’t one-size-fits-all—there are several types available, each tailored to different age groups, health conditions, and immune responses. Here’s a quick breakdown:

- Trivalent vaccines: Protect against 3 flu strains (two A strains and one B strain).

- Quadrivalent vaccines: Protect against 4 flu strains (two A strains and two B strains).

- High-dose vaccines: Specially formulated for adults 65+, containing more antigen to boost immune response.

- Adjuvanted vaccines: Include an added ingredient (adjuvant) to improve immune response, often used in seniors.

- Recombinant vaccines: Made without using flu virus or eggs, suitable for those with egg allergies.

- Cell-based vaccines: Produced using cultured cells instead of eggs, offering a modern alternative.

- Live attenuated nasal spray vaccines: A needle-free option, typically recommended for healthy children and young adults.

Choosing the right flu vaccine depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Our pharmacists can help you decide which option is best for you and your family.

The common cold is a viral infection that affects the upper respiratory tract, and while it’s usually mild, knowing its life cycle can help you manage symptoms and prevent spreading it to others. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you stay informed and prepared during cold season.

The cold typically unfolds in four stages:

Stage 1: Incubation (Days 1–3) – The virus enters your body, but symptoms haven’t appeared yet. You may already be contagious.

Stage 2: Early Symptoms (Days 2–4) – You’ll start feeling a scratchy throat, mild fatigue, and sneezing.

Stage 3: Peak Symptoms (Days 4–7) – This is when symptoms are strongest: congestion, coughing, sore throat, and low-grade fever.

Stage 4: Recovery (Days 7–10) – Symptoms begin to fade, though a lingering cough or fatigue may persist. Most people recover fully without complications.

While there’s no cure for the common cold, rest, hydration, and symptom relief are key. Our pharmacists can recommend over-the-counter remedies and wellness tips to help you feel better faster.

Iron is essential for energy, immune function, and oxygen transport—but getting enough from plant sources can be tricky. Unlike animal-based iron (heme iron), the iron found in plants (non-heme iron) is less readily absorbed by the body. At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you make smart dietary choices that maximize your nutrient intake.

To enhance iron absorption from foods like lentils, spinach, tofu, and quinoa, pair them with vitamin C-rich ingredients such as bell peppers, citrus fruits, strawberries, or tomatoes. Vitamin C helps convert non-heme iron into a form your body can absorb more easily. Also, avoid drinking tea, coffee, or calcium-rich beverages during meals, as these can inhibit iron uptake.

Ibuprofen is one of the most widely used over-the-counter medications for pain relief and inflammation. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which work by blocking the production of prostaglandins—chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and fever. Available in tablets, capsules, and liquid forms, ibuprofen is suitable for both adults and children over 6 months old.

It’s commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, toothaches, back pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, arthritis, and minor injuries. Ibuprofen is also effective in reducing fever and easing symptoms of the common cold or flu. While generally safe when used as directed, it’s important to follow dosage guidelines and avoid long-term use without medical supervision, as it can cause side effects like stomach upset, heartburn, or increased risk of kidney issues.

At Queen Peoples Pharmacy in Calgary, Alberta, we’re here to help you choose the right pain relief option for your needs. Our pharmacists can guide you on safe usage, potential interactions, and alternatives if ibuprofen isn’t suitable for you.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the brain’s pineal gland. It plays a key role in regulating your circadian rhythm, or sleep-wake cycle. As daylight fades, melatonin levels rise, signaling to your body that it’s time to wind down. Melatonin supplements mimic this effect and are commonly used to help with insomnia, jet lag, and delayed sleep phase disorder. They’re especially helpful for shift workers or anyone adjusting to a new sleep schedule.

So, are melatonin supplements safe? For most adults, short-term use is considered safe and non-addictive. However, side effects can occur, including headache, dizziness, nausea, daytime drowsiness, and vivid dreams or nightmares. Less common effects include mood changes, stomach cramps, and reduced alertness. Melatonin may also interact with medications for blood pressure, diabetes, seizures, and birth control.

That’s why it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider before starting melatonin—especially if you’re taking other medications or have underlying health conditions.
