Organic and Eco-friendly Products at Reduced Pricing Encourages Consumers to Give Them a Try

(PRWEB) June 11, 2013

With Hemp History Week kicking off the month of June, Stylish Organics is encouraging all to take some time to research the benefits of hemp and other eco-friendly products. By offering their entire inventory of products at a 15% price reduction for the entire month, the ecommerce site is hoping consumers will see this as an opportunity to experience the beneficial properties of organic and sustainable products. "We carry many wonderful green lifestyle products, most made in the USA, that we are offering below the manufacturer's retail pricing." commented Lynn Lavanga, the boutique's owner. "The products we offer are not only healthier for you, but are also kind to the environment."

Among the large selection of savvy earth friendly products, http://www.stylishorganics.com offers personal care, clothing, home decor, jewelry, gifts, and pet products that consider the health of the consumer. For example, in addition to having a negative effect on the environment (a US Geological Survey showed that 80% of US streams tested had one or more of the 95 identified toxic chemicals from pharmaceuticals, hormones, and personal care products), non-organic skin care products and cosmetics are surrounded by health concerns. Parabens, preservatives, and other chemicals used in personal care and make-up products have been linked to many health problems including kidney failure and cancer. Toxins are easily absorbed into your system through your skin, so it is important to be concerned with products you use on your skin. Organic and Natural Skin Care Products avoid the use of toxic chemicals to preserve, color, and fragrance, eliminating health concerns.

As with personal care, organic growing methods for other products such as organic cotton clothing, linens, and home decor, take into consideration the safety of the environment avoiding toxic chemicals that pollute air, soil, or ground water. Products made from sustainable fibers protect natural resources like trees by replacing them with fibers like hemp, bamboo, and lyo-cell. These sustainable resources are self replenishing, eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and are biodegradable. Again, better for the health of the individual and the environment. In the spirit of reducing, recycling, reusing-intercepting materials before they reach a land fill makes less of a negative impact on the environment. Glass for jewelry, paper for gift wrap, and plastic for toys, all result in just the kind of great eco-friendly products offered by Stylish Organics. Worthwhile products at a worthwhile offer, visit their website for a link to the discount coupon.

The Surprising Health and Skin Benefits of Pumpkins and How You to Get Them All Year-long, with Route One Pumpkins, Half Moon Bay, CA

Half Moon Bay, CA (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

It is pumpkin planting season in Half Moon Bay and this year, and we are excited to announce that the Route One Pumpkins partnership with Tunitas Creek Family Farm is resulting in official organic certification of their pumpkins as well as a significant increase in pumpkins planted that we will be harvesting for both culinary oil and oil for personal care products this Fall.

The pumpkins that are being planted additionally for health benefits are heirloom varieties such as Cinderellas, Sugar Pies and also European heirloom varieties extensively used for health benefits in Europe: Styrians. While the family has been farming according to organic principles for years, it is the expansion of business beyond decorative Halloween pumpkins that helps justify the invesment in certification.

For most Americans, pumpkins are associated with Halloween and Fall desserts. We remember our childhood fondly, selecting the pumpkin with care from a farmers patch, carving the pumpkin and pulling the seeds from the stringy mass inside. Possibly even roasting and eating the seeds once a year. And, we remember the indulgence in pumpkin pies and cakes following a delicious family Thanksgiving or holiday dinner. What most of us don't know is how beneficial pumpkins and pumpkin seeds are for our health and how we can get those benefits all year long.

General and heart health

Pumpkin seeds are high in Omega fatty acids. In animal studies, when pumpkin seeds were added to the diet, the anti-inflammatory results were comparable to the effectiveness of the drug indomethacinwithout the side-effects. And, their phytosterol compounds are believed to lower cholesterol levels. Of nuts and seeds, pumpkin seeds have the second highest amount of sterols (next to sunflower seeds and pistachios which tied for first). (1)

Benefits for sexual health

In a study cited by the New York Times, esearchers at the Chicago foundation asked men attached to a plethysmograph, a device measuring changes in volume in various parts of the body, to sniff 30 odors. All of the smells aroused them, with the combination of lavender and pumpkin pie having the greatest effect (increasing blood flow 40 percent). (2)

While researchers explain this effect as psychological, due to associations with pleasauble events, the result remains. However, because research also shows many benefits for sexual organs, specifically prostate health, perhaps there are deeper evolutionary drivers for the pumpkin preference.

A 2006 study published in "Urologia Internationalis" showed that pumpkin seeds contain compounds called phytosterols, which may be responsible for shrinking the prostate and preventing transformation of testosterone into DHT. (3) Pumpkin seeds also contain antioxidants called carotenoids; men who consume more carotenoids in their diet have a lowered risk for BPH. Finally, pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, another important nutrient for mens' sexual health.

A Good night's sleep:

Pumpkin seeds and pumpkin seed oil is high in the sleep-enhancing amino acid tryptophan that converts to serotonin in your body and helps ensure a good nights sleep. (1) Theyre also high in the heart-healing mineral magnesium, which has been shown to support relaxation and also help with restless leg syndrom.

Weight-management

Pumpkin seeds offer high levels of easily-digestible protein helps stabilize blood sugar when eaten as a snack throughout the day. Stable blood sugar means weight loss if youre trying to lose.

Topical Benefits

Pumpkin seed oil is used in aromatherapy massage not only for its pleasing scent, but its skin rejuvenating qualities via high levels of essential fatty acids easily absorbed by the skin plus an assortment of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and plant sterols, which aid in balancing cholesterol in the body. As an added bonus, pumpkin seeds also contain anti-inflammatory properties that may slow the progression of arthritis. (4)

Route One Pumpkins is currently offering Hand and Body Lotion with Cinderella Pumpkin Seed extract and Artisan Soaps made in Half Moon Bay with Sugar Pie Pumpkin Seed oils plus other nourishing vegetable and botanical oils and extracts. All fragrance-free but scented with essential oils.

WeightLossProductsThatWork.org Website Launches To Help People Find Weight Loss Products That Will Work For Them

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2013

In a recent announcement by WeightLossProductsThatWork.org, company officials have warned consumers to do their due diligence before buying into the next fad diet. They are concerned, as are most government agencies and medical professionals that yo-yo dieting and other potentially dangerous fads are far too enticing for many otherwise intelligent people to avoid.

According to one spokesman for the company, Todays busy lifestyle, combined with the availability of just about every concoction known to man makes even the most well-intentioned individual look at some of the weight-loss products on the shelf say, well, theres only so many hours in the day to exercise, and those hours are taken up by family obligations. And this, he says, is just one type of person who is tempted and convinced to spend his or her money on the next best piece of sliced bread in the fitness and weight loss puzzles.

Everyone knows someone who has purchased a gizmo of one sort or another. Everyone has a colleague or family member who somewhat shamefully admits to trying a fat burning pill or weight loss shake.

And everyone knows the ultimate outcome. After a few days or weeks of seeing a few pounds drop from the scale readout, there is either a plateau, weight regained (with additional pounds added on for good measure), and a sense of failure.

One of the biggest problems is that the person is not addressing the issue at its root cause, says the company. Its more about life-style adjustments which means making permanent changes in ones approach to diet and exercise to begin with. And this, the company contends, is what needs to be driven home; and why they are reviewing the weight loss products available online that really work. One of those products, as an example, is the "Body By Vi By Visalus" - reviewed in detail.

Oh, sure, they say, Its fine to tell someone to add a supplement such as Hydroxycitric Acid or HCA, for example; but without also looking at other aspects of his or her lifestyle such as exercise levels, someone can take all the HCA in the world and not see a lasting effect.

WeightLossProductsThatWork.org believes in addressing positive and lasting lifestyle changes as much as supplementation. Sitting at a desk or in front of a computer all day and occasionally eating some Mango Seed Fiber is not going to be enough.

Aside from their insistence that consumers begin paying attention to their lifestyles, the company also offers products that customers may wish to use along with their healthier habits.

Some of their weight loss products include Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), whey protein, Chitosan, and others.

As just one example, they explain that HCA is a salt derived from fruit rinds of Garcinia Cambodia and brindal berry. The supplements claim as a weight loss supplement is that it reduces fat absorption and enhances the fat metabolism.

WeightLossProductsThatWork.org includes whey protein because certain studies indicate that a person should include at least 30 to 50 percent protein in his or her daily diet in order to enhance weight loss. Whey protein, combined with a higher protein diet, leafy and non-starch vegetables, along with regular exercise can be helpful in losing weight, they say.

Most medical professionals will agree that losing weight may play a part in reducing heart disease, high blood pressure, chances of stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, and more. Individuals considering a weight loss program and/or supplements available through WeightLossProductsThatWork.org should only do so under the supervision of their doctor.
