July 2023 Health Roundup — Practical Guides from RxCanadaPharm

July brought a mix of food tips, supplement notes, and clear takes on common health problems. If you read only one thing from this month, pick the idea that helps you today — whether that’s a new cooking habit, a supplement to discuss with your doctor, or a simple care tip for a child or a family member.

Nutrition and supplements that actually help

Cassava made a surprise appearance as a nutrient-dense root worth using more often. The post breaks down easy ways to cook cassava and how it can support digestion and mood through fiber and resistant starch — practical swaps like roasting or boiling instead of frying. Bromelain, the pineapple enzyme, got a clear, no-nonsense look: it can aid digestion and reduce inflammation for people with mild joint pain or post-surgery swelling. The write-up explains typical uses and why you should check doses with a pharmacist.

Another interesting entry covered Hyperimmune Eggs — eggs from hens exposed to specific antigens so their eggs carry antibodies. The post explains how those antibodies might support gut or immune health when used as part of a broader plan. None of these pieces promise miracles; they give realistic uses, safety notes, and questions to ask your healthcare provider.

Everyday care: hair, allergies, and digestion

For hair thinning, the scalp massage article is refreshingly practical. It explains how five minutes a day can boost blood flow to follicles, reduce stress, and help product absorption. Tips include using fingertips (not nails), light oil if desired, and consistency over intensity. No false promises — it’s a low-risk practice to try alongside other treatments.

Seasonal allergies in kids got a friendly, actionable guide: recognize sneezing patterns, limit outdoor exposure during high pollen times, clean bedding often, and use simple hygiene habits like washing hands and face after play. The post also touches on when to talk to a pediatrician about medications or allergy testing.

On digestion, the short review of functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome explains their overlap and what that means for care. It focuses on symptom tracking, diet patterns, and when to seek testing. The advice is practical: keep a food-and-symptom log, try gentle diet changes, and discuss treatment options with your clinician instead of guessing.

Finally, a sensitive but vital piece looked at Chromosome-Positive Lymphoblastic Leukemia and reproduction. It covers fertility risks from the disease and its treatments, options to preserve fertility, and the need for early conversations with oncologists and fertility specialists.
