10 Winter Diseases

Now that the winter is very near, having enough information about different diseases that occur during this season is something we should do. This is the best way to keep ourselves from catching one. Prevention is the best cure as they said.

Papal Cross, Phoenix Park Dublin

There 10 common winter diseases.

1. Flu or influenza
2.  Colds
3. Asthma
4. Sore Throat
5. Cold Sores
6. Norovirus
7. Painful Joints
8. Dry Skin
9. Cold Hands
10. Heart Attacks

Description of each disease is discussed at NHS health risks page. 

During winter season, if possibly staying inside our houses is the not a bad idea. Just make sure that you have all need and you have something to make yourselves busy. If you have kids, be equipped with numerous ideas for their activities. Learning new things is one including musical instruments like keyboard, violin, guitar and the like. In cold nights, cuddling under a warm blanket with a great movie to watch and popcorn on the side. If you then choose to walk outside, make sure to wear appropriate clothes and shoes. Wear scarves and gloves too. 

Be safe and have a lovely winter.

Toddler's Development

Toodlers grow so fast. At one point they are climbing up the chair and then suddenly they are in the virtue of communicating with you. That all start by using words to connote the things they see. Followed by two-word sentence and everything else follow so quickly.

Monitoring their growth both cognitive and language development is one primary task of parents. Involving our tots in different activities indoor and outdoor will encourage those developments in a more rewarding manner. Among these activities are the following:

• playing with legos or wooden blocks
• allowing them to play with toys that involve their sense of touch
• introduce music to them by singing nursery rhymes, playing instruments like piano for toddlers
• reading stories with them
• take toddlers for a walk in a park or even just around the village
• teach them to organize, starting with their toys
• teach them new words by labeling things around your house

These are just few things that can help in your toddler's development. I'm sure you can come up with dozen more. Just keep in mind that we, parents, should also be involved in those activities that will lead us to develop our relationship with them.

Travelling Pharmacist

Guitar and Rose by Scoop and Snap

In lieu to my recent travel in Ireland, I happened to see the glimpse of the lovely culture of Irish people. One thing that surface more is their absolute love of music. It's like having guitar center hour in every popular street of Dublin. The food and people are equally amazing. To top it all, the green pasteur made me fall down to my knees. 

If you are to ask me, how's the Pharmacy Practice here? It is far more different back home. If you are used to easy dispensing of medicine, you will be shocked on the difference. Let me elaborate that on my next post so stay tune.
