An article from today’s Yahoo News suggests that more than half of all Americans are taking at least two different medications daily, and therefore, should be made aware of possible drug interactions.
It’s very simple, the more medications you take, the greater your risk for unwanted side effects. All medications have side effects and if side effects are something that you don’t want, wouldn’t it make sense to choose a lifestyle that relied less on drugs and medications? Just think about it, the less medications you take, the lower your risk of suffering from side effects. If you’re healthy enough that you don’t require any drugs or medications, your risks of suffering from the side effects of those medications disappears.
According to the article, it is recommended that people keep a list of all the drugs they take and they should be showing that list to their health care providers. Let your chiropractor know what medications, supplements, and vitamins you take. You may be surprised to find out how many of the “symptoms” you are experiencing may be related to things you’re putting in your body.
Don’t forget that chiropractic care is not for symptoms. Your chiropractor’s primary goal is to remove any interference that is keeping you from being all that you can be, allowing you to reach your full health potential.
The article states that people should be aware of the brand names, dosages, and such, of the medications they are taking. If you’re taking medications, take the time to find out what side effects may result from their use. Take the time to find out what the risks are when taking such medications. And most important of all, take the time to be healthy. Because the healthier you are, the less need you’ll have for taking drugs.
