Walking: Medicine For Prostate Cancer Survivors
5 Tips To Keep Your Pillows Healthy!
Here are a few tips to help you keep your pillows healthy.
• If you don’t want to
run out and replace your
pillows right away, try
throwing them in a hot
dryer for 30 min. each
week. This helps stifle the
growth of dut mites and other harmful microorganisms.
• Don’t sleep on your pillow with wet hair. The moisture will be a feeding frenzy for the fungus and dust mites.
• Try purchasing a zippered dust mite casing to put around your pillow. The high thread count of the pillow will allow the pillow to breathe, as well as protect you from dust mites and other allergens.
• Use a dehumidifier. This will help rid of the moisture in the air that the dust mites and other organisms need to survive.
• Try avoiding down and synthetic pillows. Instead use cot- ton, wool, silk, or even buckwheat-hull filled pillows.
ALERT: Tyson Recalls Chicken Wings!
Quality of life can deterio- rate for men due to the ef- fects of prostate cancer and its treatment. But a new study shows that engaging in a regular walking regimen can improve well-being.
According to the study, three hours of “casual” walk- ing per week boosted the men’s health-related quality of life by reducing fatigue, depression and weight is- sues. Walking at a faster pace for 90 minutes a week provided similar benefits, the team found.
Exercise has many other positive effects, Siobhan Phillips of Northwestern
University in Chicago noted. It is important to empha-
size that even modest, low- impact activity can have very positive effects not only on overall health but also on pa- tients’ perception of their quality of life.
Exercise has many other positive effects, Phillips noted.Cancer survivors have a higher risk of other condi- tions, such as cardiovascular disease and walking may in- crease survival and impact of quality of life by preventing the onset of those other con- ditions.
The findings were pub- lished in the Journal of Can- cer Survivorship: Research and Practice.

Overuse of antibiotics is one of the main causes of antibiotic resistance, a major pub- lic health threat in the United States.
People must understand that antibiotics cure bacterial infections, not viral infections such as colds or the flu.
In most cases, symptoms of upper respi- ratory infections — including sore throats, ear and sinus infections, colds and bronchi- tis — can be eased by getting plenty of rest; drinking enough fluids; avoiding smoking and secondhand smoke; and taking aceta- minophen or ibuprofen to relieve pain or fever.
Soothe a sore throat with ice chips, popsi- cles, lozenges (only for older children and adults), warm beverages, or by gargling with salt water.
A warm compress over the nose and fore- head can help relieve sinus pressure. For older children and adults, other options in- clude a decongestant or saline nasal spray, or breathing in steam from the shower or a
bowl of hot water.
If your doctor does prescribe antibiotics,
it’s important to take every dose. Never share antibiotics, never use them without a prescription, and never keep extra antibi- otics “for the next time.”
You can reduce your family’s chances of needing antibiotics by taking preventive measures such as getting recommended vac- cinations, maintaining good hand hygiene and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
