Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar

-
Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, is a must-have in your home. I have experienced first hand and received testimonials of its goodness.
Apple Cider Vinegar is made from the fermentation of crushed apples to yield acetic acid. Bragg's ACV alkalinizes the system and ensures the system is pH balanced.
I have used Bragg's ACV over the years and can attest to its benefits. Some of its benefits are listed after the cut.


1: Diabetes management: It lowers blood sugar levels & improves insulin sensitivity.
2. Liver detoxification: ACV plays a role in detoxifying the liver and eliminates harmful environmental toxins from the body.
3. Weight management: It enhances the feeling of satiety following its blood sugar balancing qualities; this helps individuals to control their portions and calorie intake and eventually translates to weight loss.
4. Skin health - ACV is active against bacteria and is suitable for acne management.
5. Heart health - Some animal studies have shown that ACV causes reduction in cholesterol levels.
Join the train! Add ACV to your daily lifestyle for a healthier you.


Bragg's ACV has a lot of uses around the home. Follow @rafarpharmacy on Instagram and subscribe to our blog for health tips. We will put up a post on household uses of ACV tomorrow.

Nipple care while breastfeeding – how to prevent cracked nipples and how to encourage healing.

-

The most common cause for sore or cracked nipples while breastfeeding is as a result of poor latching of the baby’s mouth on the nipples while breastfeeding. When a good breastfeeding position and the proper latch is achieved, then it is unlikely that you would develop sore nipples. So, how do I get the proper latch? The picture below shows how a baby should latch properly while breastfeeding. Your baby’s mouth should cover the entire dark area of the breast, called the areola; your baby’s chin should also touch your breast. This measure helps prevent cracked nipples. So what if my nipples are already cracked? Well, if your nipples are already cracked, you will have to resist the urge not to breastfeed your baby. It is in breastfeeding that it will eventually get healed. Here are a few things you could do to help ease your pain and encourage healing: ·          Before you start breastfeeding, express a little breastmilk and apply it over the areola, ·

How do you really wash your hands?

Right from when I was growing up, I have had it drummed into my ears on so many occasions that it is very important to wash our hands before we eat, after we use the bathroom, after blowing our nose or coughing and after handling dirt. However, I am not too sure I was put through the wonder steps in proper hand washing. Yes, even hand washing has its own special technique and not just the regular 5 second stint that a lot of us practice. While washing our hands, we need to target some key areas, where germs gather, which we normally forget. It is also important, that we do not spend less than 20 seconds, washing our hands. Check out the steps to follow while washing your hands from the Health Promotion Board. Kindly share this information. It could be a life saver. Look good, live healthy.

The Simple Solution to Inverted or Flat nipples – Yes, You Can Still Breastfeed !!

A client once came to our pharmacy and told me that their baby was not being breastfed because the mother’s nipples are inverted. This has not been the first time someone has complained about this condition.  For those that do not know what inverted nipples are, inverted nipples are nipples that are turned inside instead of pointing out. Most people think it is a problem without a solution and believe that once their nipples are inverted or flat, they can never breastfeed. Breastfeeding has too many benefits; both for the mother and the baby, and no child should be deprived of this because of inverted or flat nipples. The good news is that there is a simple solution for inverted/flat nipples. Niplettes are the simple solution to inverted or flat nipples. Through gentle suction, which is controlled by the user, the Niplette pulls the nipple out into a small plastic thimble-like cup. The Niplette is a discreet, non-surgical solution that is clinically proven to he
