Vision and Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (early or late onset) is caused by an amino acid plaque named amyloid beta. Recent studies indicate the plaque may cause two blinding ailments. One is macular degeneration, and the other is glaucoma. Macular degeneration, characterized by progressive loss of central vision leading to irreversible blindness, affects about 50 million individuals globally. Studies have shown that some kinds of glaucoma, not all kinds, may be related to the pathogenic plaque. Supplements are available for neutralizing the plaque.

Winter Safe Driving Tips #1
Winter driving can be challenging, but these tips can help you stay safe.
1. Give yourself at least 15 extra minutes of driving time to allow you to relax, focus on the traction available, and adapt without the painful distractions of arriving late at your destination.
2. Ensure visibility is clear by removing snow and ice from windows, wiper blades, and front vent intakes before driving.
3. Invest in quality snow tires and have them properly inflated. In the cold, the pressure inside your tires will drop and cause them to work less effectively, reduce feedback, and waste fuel.
What’s Fueling Your Health?
Ayurveda, an ancient medicine system from India, uses the terms Agni and Ama to describe two concepts that relate to our ability to digest food. Agni refers to our digestive fire; our ability to eat food and receive its highest benefit in the form of nutrients that fuel our bodies. We suppress our digestive fire by forgetting to eat, eating on the run, overeating, and eating foods that are too heavy, dry, or difficult to digest. When our digestive fire is suppressed, it causes Ama, the accumulation of undigested materials. This creates stickiness, heaviness, and dullness in our bodies and minds, further preventing optimal digestion and leading to symptoms.

Getting Motivated to Exercise!
Motivation to get up off that couch can be challenging at times, especially when we are exhausted from life’s everyday challenges. Try finding some extrinsic motivators to help you get out the door to the gym or for a walk, such as treating yourself to a massage or getting your nails done once you’ve stuck with it for x number of sessions. Perhaps a contest to give you a jumpstart or grabbing a buddy for some accountability? Extrinsic motivators like those can be great until it becomes a habit and therefore an “intrinsic” motivator in and of itself.
The Customer-Pharmacist Relationship
It’s important to have a good relationship with your pharmacist, as they are a valuable source of information and can help you make decisions on and better understand your medications and overall health. A good rule of thumb when it comes to determining what kind of relationship you have with your pharmacist is whether you know them by their first name. Pharmacists who offer a more personal experience can provide more individualized, specific information on your prescriptions. Your pharmacist should be available to answer questions you have and to explain in detail any medications you are taking for the first time.
