GO! I Can Fight Pro Antibiotics
(Avoid consuming when taking antibiotics)

Grapefruit Juice
Oral contraceptive pills
Iron
Calcium
Fiber
Probiotics
Alcohol

Grapefruit Juice can interact with antibiotics when consumed together and can make the medication stay in the body longer than it has to.

Oral contraceptive pills can lose their effects for birth control when taken with antibiotics.

Fiber rich foods such as lentils, beans, raspberries and whole grains may slow down the rate of antibiotic's absorption into your bloodstream. This is why antibiotics are taken on empty stomach or without meals.

Iron and calcium both affect your body’s ability to absorb Quinolones, a type of antibiotic. If you have taken a calcium or iron supplement or eaten food high in either mineral (such as milk or any dairy product for calcium), wait three hours before taking the antibiotic.

Probiotics are supplements that contain good gut bacteria. If taken together with antibiotics, the good bacteria will not be able to give you its benefits because antibiotics can also kill them. It is advisable to take the two a few hours apart or take the probiotics 1 hr before taking the antibiotic to lessen one of its side effects which is diarrhea.

Alcohol consumption can increase the unpleasant side effects of antibiotics such as stomach upset, dizziness and drowsiness,. Other than that, recovery may be more difficult and slow.

Did you know?
Bayabas is a powerhouse of nutrients.
As per USDA, guava is a good source of energy, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C,potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium. It also contains iron, sodium, zinc, folate, niacin, vitamin E, vitamin B6, vitamin B1 (thiamine), and vitamin B2 (riboflavin).

Psidium guajava, commonly known as guava or “Bayabas” contains 126 mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C boosts our immune system by encouraging production of white blood cells to help our cells function well.

Moreover, this undeniable tropical fruit has potential benefits including its ability to help in preventing cancer, regulating blood pressure, and treating diarrhea. It further helps strengthen the immune system and digestive system. It also aids in weight loss, improves the skin, treats cough and cold, constipation, dysentery, and scurvy.
If the traditional adage says that, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” in Europe and America, the phrase can be probably changed to, “a few guavas in the season keep the doctor away for the whole year,”.

Share lng ng konting info about sa tamang paraan ng pagsuot/paggamit ng face mask.

"The WHITE PART of the mask should be INSIDE or attached to your face if YOU ARE SICK and you don't want other people to catch any infection s from you. Whilst the WHITE PART should be OUTSIDE if OTHER PEOPLE ARE SICK, to protect yourself from any infections or disease that might enter your immune system or kahit na panprotect lang sa dust."

The blue or colored side of the mask, according to her, prevents fluids from going inside your mouth or nose, while the white one is the filter that blocks any micro-organism from entering when you’re inhaling and exhaling.

A lot of us are familiar with what a medical mask is, or sometimes called a face mask or a surgical mask. However, not every one of us knows how to use it the proper way. //pagead2.googlesyndicatio…

Did you know pharmacists are not only involved in medication-making? They were once involved in producing 2 of our favorite beverages.

John Pemberton turned to co***ne as a substitute for morphine. The Georgia man began to experiment with o***m-free medicine, as he knew his morphine addiction was dangerous. When another doctor claimed he could cure o***m habits with coca (co***ne), Pemberton devised his own concoction, which used coca leaves and kola nuts and was called French Wine Coca. A local prohibition law was enacted in 1886, so Pemberton was forced to remove the alcoholic element and his formula thus became Coca-Cola, according to Dominic Streatfeild, who authored Co***ne: An Unauthorized Biography. While on August 28, 1898, Caleb Bradham renamed his drink “Pepsi-Cola." He believed the drink was more than a refreshment but a “healthy” cola, aiding in digestion, getting its roots from the word dyspepsia, meaning indigestion.
