Summer's Here! Reef Friendly Sunscreen and Your UTI Protocol!

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! :)

Join The Movement To Stop Smart Meters!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

Hey all! We just want to let you know that smart meters (the meter your electric company uses to monitor your power usage) are being introduced to our area, and it is possible to opt out! But why would you want to opt out? Smart Meters have been found to release harmful radiation, leading to increased incidence of deadly disorders in the body, reproductive complications, and cell damage. In addition, smart meters have been shown to have adverse impacts on the environment, interfering with the healthy growth of plants and surrounding wildlife. On top of all this, they have been found to be fire hazards! We are not trying to fear monger, but to inform. Once you receive a noticesaying they are coming, they are entitled to show up any day to install a Smart Meter. You may end up getting home that night to find a note on your door saying they have been installed. In addition, if you wait until it is installed, you may have to pay a fee for it's removal. You have the RIGHT and the CHOICE to say NO before they install. Smart Meters are even hackable by outside forces, given that their information is transmitted via data streams! Who needs that!? Please check out this video series regarding Smart Meters!

Matcha Tea - Seriously The Best Way To Start Your Day

Hey, Health Stoppers!

If you are a coffee drinker who has been thinking about giving up coffee .... this is for you. If you are not a coffee drinker, but are looking for a new beverage that is loaded with antioxidants, that will both energize AND calm you down.... this is also for you. We introduce to you.... Matcha tea! What is Matcha? Matcha is a traditional drink native to Japan, that is created by limiting the sun exposure of green tea leaves, which causes the chlorophyll levels, antioxidant and nutrient profiles of the plants to increase beyond those of typical sun grown green tea. These leaves are then dried, and ground into a fine powder, allowing for an easy stir (or whisk) and sip experience. What is Matcha good for? As mentioned previously, Matcha is LOADED with antioxidants, making it a powerful free-radical fighter and a wonderful addition to any age-defying protocol. It supports healthier, younger looking skin, promotes proper cell regeneration, and is the highest rated food by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) method. Matcha is also high in catechins, which is found to promote heart health and cut the risk of serious disorders in the body. Matcha is very high in the amino acid L-theanine, which is famed for its ability to promote a sense of calm without causing drowsiness! In fact, matcha has been used by Japanese Zen Buddhist monks to assist in their meditation practices for centuries. On the flip side, Matcha also provides a nice energy boost. It promotes focus and concentration, without the anxious jitters that come with coffee or energy drinks. Matcha has been found to increase the body's metabolism and assist the body's fat burning ability by four times it's usual rate! Matcha's high chlorophyll profile makes it a potent detoxing agent. It is great for detoxing toxic metals and chemicals from the body. Matcha has both antibiotic properties and a high nutrient profile, making it a great immune system fortifier! Matcha has been found to lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, while raising levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. And to wrap it all up, Matcha tastes DELICIOUS. And you can still mix your almond milk in to achieve proper latte form. Yassssss. So you're probably asking yourself by now... "Why am I not drinking matcha every morning?" Well... yeah.

CBD Oil - The Facts Behind the Miracle

Hey, Health Stoppers!

CBD Oil is one of the nation's up and coming health trends... It boasts a multitude of health benefits, and has got people talking. But, what exactly is it? CBD Oil (cannabidiol) is an extract sourced from the hemp variety of cannabis, meaning it contains no THC. Therefore, it offers the benefits of the cannabis plant, without any of its well known psychoactive side effects. But what is CBD Oil used for? CBD Oil has been found to have a range of potential benefits. 1. Chronic Pain Relief 2. Reduces Anxiety and Depression 3. Reduces Inflammation 4. Has Been Shown To Fight Drug Resistant Bacteria 5. Reduces Oxidative Stress 6. Helps Reduce Psychosis 7. Promotes Healthy Weight 8. Improves Heart Health 9. When Used Topically, Improves Skin Conditions 10. Has Been Found To Treat More Serious Conditions (Google For More Info!) At the Health Stop, we exclusively carry Plus CBD Oil. Why are we so behind this company? Plus CBD strives to maintain a higher quality oil than some other CBD manufacturers, and their utilization of the hemp plant for its extracts allows them to recycle their plants for other uses. Hemp is one of the most resourceful plants on the planet, after all! If you find yourself intrigued, come on down to the Health Stop with some questions! We can help you choose a CBD product that will be right for you! This information is provided for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Find Fast Acting Pain Relief With Curamin! All the Benefits Without the Side Effects!

Hey, Health Stoppers!

We think it's safe to say that summer is officially making it's entrance. And; maybe now that the weather has warmed up, you've been spending more time outside, being active, working your muscles, joints and tendons. That extra exertion may come with a price. Maybe you're feeling a little achy, a little sore? You've worked your body hard and it is telling you in two ways; awesome results and a low, dull moan of "Owwww....".

Curamin has been one of our top selling products since 2011, because it actually works! Reductions in pain and inflammation keep people coming back for more, finding it helps bring relief to their day to day activities.

What makes Curamin different from other curcamin supplements? The Secret of Curamin's Power What's the secret? Combining the best of the best. Curamin contains a clinically proven curcumin that is significantly better absorbed than turmeric or plain curcumin products, along with a uniquely standardized boswellia extract. This special curcumin has been proven in published clinical studies to provide consistent and long-lasting effects. The impact of boswellia is enhanced by reducing undesirable beta-boswellic acid and providing up to 10 times the amount of AKBA - its most beneficial compound - found in unstandardized boswellia extracts. DLPA supports healthy activity of endorphins and enkephalins, and nattokinase helps healthy circulation—an important feature for proper nutrient delivery and effectiveness. Four Powerhouse Ingredients Curamin combines clinically proven curcumin and boswellia with DLPA and nattokinase to create a product that has been recognized throughout the natural foods industry for pain relief. Not ready to make a commitment to a whole bottle? We now have single serve trial packs available at the register! Give Curamin a try, and feel your pain melt away, so you can get on with your day!
