GARLIC - Perfect for February, garlic is affectionately called the "stinking rose" by some herbalists. While taking garlic seems incompatible with romantic endeavors, it doesn't have to be! Kyolic® Odorless Aged Garlic Extract™ does not have the characteristic stink or harsh side effects, but retains all the cardiovascular benefits.
What's the difference? When it comes to garlic supplements, they are not all created equal. There are four basic types: heat distilled garlic oil in softgels, heat-dehydrated garlic seasoning powder in capsules/tablets, garlic oil macerates, and Kyolic® Odorless Aged Garlic Extract™
All garlic supplements have some nutritional value. However, powders and oils contain little or no water-soluble compounds which may be essential to obtain some of the key benefits of garlic. Garlic powders and oils contain some beneficial oil-soluble sulfur compounds along with a pungent garlic odor and harsh, oxidizing side effects. Even though these products may claim to be deodorized, the garlic odor is just masked by chemical or sugar coatings. When the capsules or tablets dissolve, garlic body odor results.
Kyolic® Odorless Aged Garlic Extract™, on the other hand, is truly the only odorless garlic supplement. The exclusive aging process eliminates garlic odor and harsh side effects. It is a fantastic alternative to raw garlic, which contains the oxidizing allicin compound, which makes those around you want hold their nose!
Why is it good for the heart? The unique set of sulfur-containing compounds in garlic have cardioprotective properties, like reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. This combination of inflammation and stress puts our blood vessels at risk of unwanted plaque formation and clogging. Aged garlic extract has been shown to lower our blood triglycerides and total cholesterol. Find Kyolic® Odorless Aged Garlic Extract™ starting at just $15.99 for 100 tablets.
FIRE CIDER - The HH4L crew has been loving this - you may have noticed we've been sampling it out at the store for the past few months. Available in 8oz or 16oz bottles (for $13.99 or $21.99 resp.), the winning combination of apple cider vinegar, honey, lemons, oranges, garlic, onions, ginger, horseradish and habanero pepper is sure to get your motor running!
Ask us for a shot of this warming cider drink that is loaded with heart-healthy ingredients, but be prepared to feel the heat - it may make you blush!
OMEGAS - As part of a heart-healthy diet, Omega-3 fats specifically are a key component. Many of us are deficient, largely due to the lack of good fish in the Western diet. In fact, Americans have the lowest intake of omega-3 essential fatty acids of any developed country—the typical American diet contains 14–25 times more omega–6s than omega–3s! Correct this imbalance with a Nordic Naturals Omega blend. They have peer-reviewed clinical research to back their products so you can be sure that it is a consistent product known to:
• Supports circulation and healthy blood vessel function
• Promotes the metabolism of dietary fat and cholesterol
• Supports a healthy heart rhythm
• Promotes healthy triglyceride levels in healthy individuals
• Is natural and safe for long-term use
For vegans and vegetarians who want Omega-3s without fish, we have Get Real Nutrition whole food, sprouted & fermented Real Omega formulas to suit your unique health goals. Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids are sourced exclusively from sprouted, fermented, organic, Chia, Flax, Hemp, Pumpkin, Sesame, Sunflower and Canihua seeds and are infused with a wide variety of organic, sprouted and fermented botanicals.

Cause I ain’t got a pencil
By Joshua T. Dickerson
I woke myself up
Because we ain’t got an alarm clock
Dug in the dirty clothes basket,
Cause ain’t nobody washed my uniform
Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,
Cause the lights ain’t on
Even got my baby sister ready
Cause my mama wasn’t home.
Got us both to school on time,
To eat us a good breakfast.
Then when I got to class the teacher fussed
Cause I ain’t got a pencil.
THANK YOU!
