Hey, Health Stoppers! |
Don't get us wrong... Summer is one of the BEST time's of year.
The sunshine, the late nights, the BBQs, the beach, the swimming pools ...
But summer is also the season which sees the highest rates of the dreaded UTI (urinary tract infection) in women.
Swimsuits and bladder health just doesn't mix as nicely as your mojito.
However, there are absolutely steps one can take to prevent a UTI from occurring, and in the event that one does happen, solutions to stop the infection in its tracks ... seriously, get on this.
We all know how painful UTIs can be :(
Cranberry Extract
Cranberries contain a compound known as A-type proanthocydine that coats the inside of your bladder, preventing any bacteria from infecting your bloodstream. Consider it your greatest ally in UTI defense!
D-Mannose
A type of glucose found in certain fruits, D-Mannose functions similarly to cranberry extract, as harmful bacteria attaches itself to the D-Mannoseinstead of to your bladder walls. Combine this with cranberry extract, and you've got yourself two powerful bladder defenders on your side!
Probiotics
Certain strains of probiotics are great at ejecting bad bacteria from your body, specifically bacteria that causes UTIs! We have a great formula at the Health Stop that is designed for women, containing strains that prevent UTIs and other issues that tend to plague females more frequently than their male counterparts.
In the event that you actually acquire a UTI, we have a powerful formulawhich works to both fight the offensive bacteria AND flush it out of your body.
For more information, and to stock up on your anti-UTI protocol, come down to the shop and we'll help you out :)
Oh, and always.. always... ALWAYS... remember to drink a lot of water!!!
That is your number one prevention for anything and everything under the sun ;) Ancient secret remedy, you are welcome <3

Check Out Our New Reef Friendly Safe Sunscreen! |
Commercial sunscreens protect you from the sun, but contain hazardous chemicals that may be detrimental to not only your health, but the environment.
Compounds such as Oxybenzone, Butylparaben, Octinoxate and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, commonly found in many commercial sunscreens, have been found to contribute to the ongoing problem of coral bleaching.
This is such an issue that some countries have taken to banning products which use these chemicals, and the state of Hawaii is even considering banning commercial sunscreens all together, to prevent the extinction of our ocean's beautiful corals! Note that these are not just dangerous for corals, but also for other wildlife, and your own health!
Thankfully, we have eco-friendly (and much healthier) alternatives, so you can still have your fun in the sun without getting a nasty sunburn.
All Good is a line of chemical-free zinc sunscreens, available in traditional sunscreen, sprays, smooth sunscreen butters, and spf lipbalm! They are water resistant, designed for swimmers, athletes and sun bathers alike!
And of course, they are 100% reef (and human) friendly! :)
