Do vibration plates actually do anything? 👀

What do you think?

A friend of mine told me she uses hers to wake up her legs in the morning.

So I said I would give it a shot and I do feel it helps! 

There is some research behind vibration plates for things like muscle activation, lower body strength, balance and blood flow, but I definitely wouldn’t be swapping actual exercise for one.

For me, it’s just a handy little addition and, anecdotally, I do feel like it does something.

Worth a shot for the price I think.

⚠️ RECALL NOTICE ⚠️

A slightly different and later post than usual tonight, but this one is important.

A national patient-level recall has been issued in Ireland for Warfant 3mg, batch 25002, expiry 03/2030.

A sealed manufacturer’s container labelled as Warfant 3mg was found to contain 1mg tablets instead.

If you take Warfant 3mg, please check your tablets:
3mg = BLUE and marked W3
1mg = BROWN and marked W1

If you have been supplied 3mg tablets that are brown or marked W1, do not take them and contact your pharmacy straight away.

If you have already taken any incorrect tablets, contact your prescriber as soon as possible.

Do not stop your warfarin or change your dose without speaking to your pharmacist or prescriber.

Please share this with anyone you know who takes warfarin. They may need to check their tablets.

KIN mouthwash is better than Corsodyl mouthwash. That’s it. 😂

For sensitive or bleeding gums, mouth ulcers and general irritation around the mouth, I always recommend KIN Gingival Complex.

It contains chlorhexidine - (the same as Corsodyl) to help control bacteria and plaque, BUT it also has allantoin and panthenol to help soothe and care for sensitive gums.

It costs a little more, but I think it’s the better all-round option.

Just remember, in general for short-term use, chlorhexidine can stain the teeth if it’s overused. If an ulcer keeps coming back or isn’t healing, get it checked rather than just repeatedly treating it yourself.

Ever stand up too quickly and you start to get really dizzy for a few seconds? 😵‍💫

That sudden head rush can be caused by postural hypotension, basically, your blood pressure drops when you stand up.

It can be made worse by dehydration, not eating properly, illness or certain medications, including some blood-pressure tablets.

Usually its grand, but if it keeps happening, it’s worth getting checked, especially if it’s so bad that you’ve actually fainted or you’re at risk of falling.

Stand up slowly, sit or lie back down if you feel faint and make sure you’re drinking enough fluids / water.

And don’t stop your tablets or start changing what time you take them of your own accord.

Have a chat with your GP or pharmacist first, because sometimes a medication review or a simple adjustment can make a big difference.
