Avoiding Dairy Allergies - with the Global Gardens Group

Although Americans are drinking less dairy today than ever before, milk is still popular.  However, with lactose intolerance on the rise, and the increase of allergies and sensitivities to dairy and nuts, families today demand more options. Global Gardens Group, based in Vancouver, Canada, recognized the growing trend of plant-based diets and set out on a mission to create the very first vegetable-based, non-dairy milk.  In 2015, they succeeded with Veggemo. Filled with protein and nutrients, and with the same calorie content as skim milk, the world's first vegetable-based, non-dairy milk has already won consumer and grocer awards. Go to http://veggemo.com/ to learn about the three available flavors, find a retailer near you and for more information.

Raising Awareness on Food Allergies - with the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America

Today, one in thirteen children have food allergies. Michele Cassalia, of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, joins Access Health to talk about the eight foods that cause the most allergic reactions.  A food allergy occurs when the body's immune system sees a certain food as harmful and reacts by causing one or more symptoms, known as an allergic reaction. These reactions can be severe and life-threatening, so awareness is crucial. It's also important to always have an emergency action plan in place.

Caring for Contact Lenses - with Alcon

If your eyes are always scratchy and your contact lenses are uncomfortable, the problem might be you.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 99% of contact lens wearers have at least one bad hygiene habit.  The result?  Nearly a million serious eye infections every year.  Alcon joins Access Health to promote their CLEAR CARE® PLUS Solution with HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix, which helps prevent serious eye infections by killing germs and bacteria on contact lenses with the power of Hydrogen Peroxide.  It also contains exclusive HydraGlyde Moisture Matrix technology - providing long lasting moisture, and a more comfortable, longer-wearing lens experience than a multi-purpose solution.
