March is
Nutrition Month
“Good nutrition begins
with the choices we
make,” said Margaret
Donnelly, director of
the MO Dept. of Health
& Senior Services.

“Instead of reaching
for that bag of potato
chips, make a healthy
choice by grabbing an
apple, orange or some
other type of nutritious
snack.”  
Not feeling so well? Think you need
antibiotics? Reconsider. Many sniffles,
sneezes or body aches are not cause
for antibiotics.

Only your physician can decide if need
antibiotics. Talk to him or her and see if
you are try alternative methods for that
sore throat, runny nose or fever.

Antibiotics are not for everyone nor
every illness.
