$2 billion reasons to choose a store brand medication (NAPSI) — The important part of any over-the-counter (OTC) drug is not the name on the front of the box but the active ingredients listed on the back. That’s why Americans save as much as $2 billion a year by switching to store brand of over-the-counter drugs. “Your symptoms don’t care which brand you choose or how much you spend as long as you’re treating them effectively,” says Fred Eckel, editor-in-chief of Pharmacy Times. If you stocked your medicine cabinet with only advertised brands, it would cost up to $60 more, but you wouldn’t get any difference in product effectiveness. Here are some facts about store brand OTC medicines: • Store brands contain the same named active ingredient at the same strength and both products must meet the same FDA standards. • Advertised brands cost approximately 40 percent more than their store brand OTC equivalents. The reason has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with advertising costs. • Most stores place store brands to the right of the advertised brand.

OK, 111 be honest - this is my plate, and these are all assuming 1 only had one serving of each. One of the killers though is leftovers. These can stretch out your unhealthy eating to several days beyond just turkey day. My suggestion - eat over at Mama’s house. And when they ask to take a plate home, take a small one. Since most people have at least a couple of days off over the holidays, try to take advantage of this and get a few extra workouts in or do some active work around the house. Try to make an effort to do a little extra cardio to help compensate for those excess calories. Here’s a sample post Thanksgiving work-out regimen to help you get back on track.

Black men urged fo gel fesfed for HIV

Eltctronic Urban Rtport The Advertising Council and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have introduced a national public service advertising campaign designed to communicate to young African-American men the importance of getting tested for HIV. Black men between the ages of 13 and 28 are targeted by the new ads, which suggest that knowing their HIV status is the first step in fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS. The television spots, featuring football players, encourage viewers to call 1-800-342-AIDS, a confidential, toll-free number where they can find out more information about

HIV testing, prevention techniques and treatment options. “Despite the progress we have made in the last twp decades, the impact of HIV /AIDS on our youth today is devastating, particularly among the African-American community,” Peggy Conlon, President and CEO of the Advertising Council, said in a press release. “I believe these compelling new spots will urge many young Americans to get tested for HIV and, ultimately, help stop the spread of the disease.” More than 380,000Americans are currently living with AIDS. According to HHS, one-half of those newly infected with HIV in the United States today are undef the age of 25.

Braces use steady, gentle pressure over time to move teeth into their proper positions. There are two main components to braces: the brackets that are placed on the teeth and the main arch wire that connects them. A bracket is a piece of spe-cially-shaped metal or ceramic that is affixed to each tooth. Then the orthodontist bends the arch wire to reflect each patient’s “ideal” bite, which, in turn, reflects the way the patient will look after treatment. Wire is threaded through the brackets and, as it tries to return to its original shape, it applies pressure, which moves the teeth. With the pressure exerted on one side from the arch wire, the bone on the other side gives way, causing the tooth to move and allowing new bone to grow in behind existing one. Yes, the teeth will move in different directions as the teeth are straightening out. You may see a space between your two front teeth that was never there before or teeth that seemed perfectly straight before the braces were placed may not seem as straight. Be patient and things will start to improve. That space will close and those teeth will line up as treatment continues. In young children, corrections made prior to the loss of

all baby teeth are retained, with the growth of permanent teeth guided into more favorable positions. A space maintainer placed in the mouth prevents the front and back lower permanent molars from slipping forward and also prevents the lower-front permanent incisor teeth from tipping toward the tongue. This ensures a maximum amount of space for permanent teeth. Often, various appliances like headgear, night braces, lip bumpers or removable “retainerlike” appliances are used to prevent loss of correction in children. The jawbone is flexible and can be pushed, pulled and reshaped, making the use of such devices possible. Hard, sticky or extremelysweet foods can get caught on the braces, bend the wires, loosen the cement that binds the braces to the teeth, cause cavities, leave permanent white marks on the teeth or even pull off the braces, so such foods must be avoided. However, patients with braces still can sing, play a musical instrument; playvarious sports and even kiss, say orthodontists. When braces are removed, patients must wear a retainer to preserve the corrections made. The amount of time varies; sometimes, the retainer is worn all the time and sometimes at night, anywhere from one to two years. In some people, the only way to ensure continued alignment is by the wearing of a retainer indefinitely.
