Daily Health Tips update for May 1:
You’ve heard of lysine and have probably even seen it in the
vitamin aisle, but what the heck is it and what can it do for you?
Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means we need it, but it’s
not found in our bodies naturally, so we have it get it from
sources like meat, fish, eggs, avocados, nuts and dairy products.
We usually manage to get enough of it to keep ourselves healthy,
but here are four interesting benefits that might make you...

I started shopping at Swanson Vitamins about 3 years ago. I'm a
mother of 4 (15,13,12,3), a wife, and have five, four legged
friends (4 goats and 1 dog). I am a big believe in natural healing
& health. We live in a rural area and the closest health foods
store is about 35 miles from my home. I needed to find a place
online to buy good quality products at a fair price for all the
members of my family, human and animal alike. After researching
companies I found that Swanson had great prices,...

Health Tips update for January 2:
Fats can be beneficial! Instead of a low fat diet, follow a “right”
fat diet. Here’s another food that features healthier fats that
make good additions to your plate.
A favorite in countries like Japan and Hawaii, edamame is an
immature soybean, picked prior to the plant’s hardening stage. It’s
a great protein alternative to meat in the diet. Edamame is natural
source of polyunsaturated fat. This type of fat, found in
plant-based foods, supports healthy...

Along
with the traditional turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cherry
pie, cranberries are a permanent fixture at my Thanksgiving table.
And I’m not talking about the kind of cranberries that come in a
jellied glob, with the rings from the tin can still visible. I mean
real cranberries – the fresh ones, from the grocery
store’s produce aisle.
I just don’t love the taste of the small, plump, red berries – I
also love how healthy cranberries are. Did you know that
cranberries are on the list of...

Ever
wanted to know what vitamins, supplements and healthy foods the
employees at Swanson Health Products use? Here’s your chance to
peek inside an employee order and find out (and win it
all)!
I recently placed an order for
Alba Botanica TerraTint Lipbalm. Some natural lip
balms are rough and hard to apply. This lip balm went on
smooth and creamy, has just the right amount of sheen to
it, and moisturizes my lips as well. It also contains
sunscreen! (Ranging from SPF8 to 18). One other thing...

When I was a youngster, a friend of mine had a grandmother who
owned a small neighborhood grocery store. It was always fun to
visit "Maude's" grocery and stare into the glass-walled candy
cabinet. The five-cent and ten-cent candy bars were located on the
top shelf and the penny and two-for-a-penny candy took up the two
lower shelves.
Each day the glass was covered with a fresh mixture of hand and
nose prints as kids in the neighborhood would spend their
hard-earned change. Of course, in the...

Need a quick pick-me-up? Instead of reaching for a soda or another
cup of coffee, try these three tricks instead.

Rub Your Ears: This little acupuncture trick
is taken straight from traditional
Chinese medicine. The
pressure points in your earlobes help energize blood circulation,
which in turn helps deliver oxygen throughout your body for a
natural energy boost. (Some say this technique also helps alleviate
mild headaches.)
