☀️ Myth or Fact: You can’t get sunburns in the winter ☀️
👉 Myth! Even in cold weather, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin. Snow and ice actually reflect UV rays, making sunburns more likely during winter activities like skiing or sledding.
😎 The Truth About Winter Sunburns 😎
🔸 Temperature doesn’t matter: Sunburn is caused by UV radiation, not heat. You can burn on a cold, cloudy day just as easily as on a hot summer one.
🔸 Snow reflection: Snow can reflect up to 80% of UV rays, doubling your exposure when outdoors in winter.
🔸 High altitudes: Ski slopes and mountain areas have thinner air, which means stronger UV rays and higher risk of burns.
🔸 Cloudy skies: Up to 80% of UV rays pe*****te clouds, so sunscreen is still necessary
🩺 MCMH Pharmacy Takeaway 🩺
Don’t let the cold fool you, sunburns can happen year-round. Protect your skin in winter by:
▪️ Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) on exposed skin.
▪️ Using lip balm with SPF to prevent chapped, burned lips.
▪️ Wearing sunglasses and hats to shield against reflected rays.
▪️ Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours, especially during outdoor winter sports.

❄️ Winter Wellness Starts with Clean Hands 🧼
As the temperatures drop, so does our immune system’s resilience. One of the simplest, most effective ways to stay healthy this season is proper handwashing.
✨ Winter Wellness Tips from MCMH Pharmacy ✨
🔹 Wash often: Scrub hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after coughing, sneezing, or being in public spaces.
🔹 Don’t forget the details: Clean between fingers, under nails, and the backs of your hands.
🔹 Moisturize: Cold air and frequent washing can dry skin. Keep a gentle hand cream nearby to protect against cracks.
🔹 Stay hydrated & nourished: Drink plenty of water, eat balanced meals, and consider a daily multivitamin to support your immune system.
🔹 Bundle up: Protect yourself from the chill with layers, hats, and gloves as warmth helps your body stay strong.
💙 At MCMH Pharmacy, we’re here to support your wellness journey all winter long. Stop by for trusted advice, essential supplies, and a friendly reminder that small habits make a big difference.

✔️Healthcare Myth or Fact: Cranberry Juice for UTIs ✔️
👉 Myth: Cranberry juice can cure a urinary tract infection.
👉 Fact: Cranberry products may help prevent future UTIs in some people, but they do not treat an active infection. Antibiotics are the only effective treatment once a UTI has started
🩺 The Science Behind Cranberry & UTIs 🩺
▪️ Active compounds: Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs), which make it harder for bacteria (like E. coli) to stick to the bladder wall.
▪️ Prevention, not cure: Studies show cranberry juice or supplements may reduce the risk of recurrent UTIs, especially in women with frequent infections.
▪️ Limitations: Cranberry juice cocktails often have little actual cranberry and lots of sugar, so they’re not effective. Supplements with standardized PAC content are more reliable.
▪️ Treatment reality: Once you have UTI symptoms, cranberry juice won’t clear the infection. You need antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider
⚠️ Risks & Considerations ⚠️
▪️ Cranberry juice is acidic and high in sugar, which may upset the stomach or affect blood sugar control.
▪️ People with kidney stones, diabetes, or those taking blood thinners should consult a provider before using cranberry products
💡 MCMH Pharmacy Takeaway 💡
Cranberry juice is a low-risk prevention aid, but it’s not a cure. If you suspect a UTI, seek medical care promptly. For prevention, daily cranberry supplements or 100% cranberry juice may help reduce recurrence, but consistency matters.
