Feed the Effects

Often, the older we get, the more meds we take to help keep us healthy. Sometimes on the way to helping one ailment, our prescription drugs can cause others. Prevention.com says you can help counteract these nasty side effects simply by eating the right foods. Your birth control keeping you up at night? Try snacking on avocado and bananas. Hypertension diuretics giving you cramps? Try some milk and nuts. Dealing with side effects will not only make your daily life easier, but it will help ensure you’ll keep to your prescription drug regimen.
