The secret of his success lies in his language, affordable and direct. Two adjectives that it costs to associate to the health field, still dominated by technicalities and pharragic concepts that are difficult to digest. «Pharmacists are the closest and most accessible health professionals, since in any corner of any neighborhood there is a pharmacy. Of course, they want us to talk clearly. I daily gave advice to my clients until I thought: And why don’t I leave them in writing and thus can help more people? ”, He states. No sooner said than done.
And in view they are well received. His publications accumulate thousands of likes, although he of the “influencer” label still blushes him. “It makes me fatigue,” he confesses with a laugh at the time he admits that his work in networks takes away “many hours of sleep.” Your reward? The affection of the people, the knowledge that is contributing to the prestige of their profession and the recognition of their colleagues in the guild. “It is comforting that they have you well considered,” he reveals.

Is there evidence that the use of parabens in cosmetic produces is harmful to health? Does the lemon juice improve acne lesions? Can I use a sunscreen last year? They are just some examples of the questions addressed by the work, with an affordable language and an agile structure that facilitates and entertains reading.

He has many hours of work behind but has resulted in a very satisfactory and very rewarding experience. Seeing it in bookstores makes me special illusion, ”says this Malaga. And he adds: “I hope people read it, enjoy it and, above all, to learn and be more critical of what they find on social networks, the neighbor tells you or arrives by a WhatsApp chain.”
But then, as the book diute says, … did the cold resign?: «Well, your mother is wrong. It is not the cold, it is different pathogens that cause a cold, cold, flu or any pharyngoamigdalitis. Although there is a certain truth behind. In the cold months we tend to spend less time abroad and more in closed spaces with high density of people and lack of ventilation, which favors the spread of viruses and bacteria by air. In addition, the defenses responsible for attacking these pathogens become more ineffective by cold and low temperatures are ideal for the survival of these viruses. Even so, neither the viruses enter the feet or cold if you go cold, although something contributes, ”trench. Rinse.
