Antibiotics can help fight infections, but it’s important to remember antibiotics are not needed for viruses like colds or the flu. 💊 Using antibiotics inappropriately can cause bacteria to develop resistance and become less effective in the future. Ask your family doctor these questions from Choosing Wisely Canada to help you choose antibiotics wisely: 1) Does my child need antibiotics? 2) Which is the best option? 3) What are some side-effects? 4) What can we do to stay healthy #Worldantimicrobialawarenessweek #antibiotics #abhealth #primarycare #familydoctor

When you’re expecting, it’s important to ensure you and baby are getting the right nutrients. 🤰🏼 Here are a few nutrition tips to follow: 🍽 Balance healthy meals throughout the day: Three well-spaced meals each day are the gateway to healthy eating. They help stop you over-eating at your next meal, because you never let yourself get too hungry. If you suffer with nausea in pregnancy, you can also try eating six smaller meals spaced throughout the day. 🥗 Get more folic acid: to prevent brain and spinal cord birth problems. It is recommended to take a pregnancy-specific multivitamin containing 1 mg of folate before getting pregnant and throughout pregnancy. Other sources include fortified cereals, dark green and leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, beans, peas and lentils. 🥩 Up your iron intake: to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Boost your dietary intake with lean red meat, poultry, fish, fortified cereals and beans. Talk to your doctor to see if you would benefit from an iron supplement. 🥛 Eat more calcium-rich foods: to strengthen bones. Sources include dairy products, broccoli, kale, and fortified fruit juices and breakfast cereals. 👩🏾‍⚕️ Have questions about dietary requirements during pregnancy?

With mask mandates lifted across Alberta, wearing one is a personal choice. No matter what your decision is, let’s treat each other with kindness and respect. “It is important that we all carefully consider our risk level, our level of comfort, and the risk and comfort levels of those around us,” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, last week. Alberta PCNs request you continue to wear a mask when visiting our clinics and health team to protect others. #COVID19AB #ABHealth
