    Helpful health tips

    "For those who take thyroid medicine,

    it is very important to take this medicine

    on an empty stomach with water. Food

    and other medicines should not be taken

    with thyroid medicine as it may alter

    how it works and the thyroid levels. I

    recommend taking it at least two hours

    before or after meals and other

    medicines."

    "If you leave your car at home and walk

    or use a bike for trips of one mile or

    less, you will put out fewer greenhouse

    gasses, lose weight and decrease your

    changes of developing heart disease

    and diabetes."
