23		Colds - I take a flu shot every November. Mostly protects me from colds and if I do get any issues, then I use a nasal saline solution for keeping nasal pathways moist... learned that from a Nurse practitioner.
24		Allergies - I take 1/2 tablet 24 hr Zyrtec every morning
25		Avoiding heart problems - I take 1 tablet aspirin 81 mg at night
26		Blood pressure high - I take a 10 mg Losartan Potassium tablet and a 5mg Felodipine tablet daily. My BP is now 117/75.
27		Cholesterol high - Take a 20mg Simvastatin tablet daily. My cholesterol is completely under control.
28		I also take a multi-vitamin with mineral, iron etc. tablet daily.
29		Suggest doing a PSA blood checkyearly and if it is above 4.0 then follow up with other tests for prostate cancer. Better to catch Prostate cancer early before it escapes the prostate and spreads to lymph nodes and then bones.
