Health Matters, Herbs & More
17 E. Second St.
Monroe MI 48161
Health Matters, Herbs & More of Monroe, Michigan is owned by Maurine Sharp, a registered nurse and natural health practitioner with over 34 years experience. She has been growing and using herbs and quality food for the past 12 years for herself and family. The results have been amazing. These changes have given Maurine the courage to open her own organic health food market in downtown Monroe. The store supports local businesses and farmers by stocking many local products.
The mission of the store is to provide access to health and wellness information, in addition to quality organic and local food. It is important to note that the store is handicap accessible and provides an area for children to play while the parents shop or ask questions. There is also an extensive reference and lending library.

| Ditch All Hydrogenated Oils: Hydrogenated Oils(Trans-fats, Partially hydrogenated...)are highly processed using toxic chemicals and high temps, causing the seeds or beans to lose almost all of their nutritional value and the oils to turn rancid. Natural fats(butter, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, and coconut oil) are rich in nutrients and minerals and help vitamins absorb into the body. |
|
 |
| Dump All Commerical Dairy: Commerical dairy cows are keep in confinement, they are fed genetically engineered(GMO) grains which reduce the vitamin content in the milk and contain pesticides, and they are given hormones(rBST) and antibiotics that can affect the consumer. Also pasteurizing dairy products destroys enzymes and beneficial bacteria. We carry Guernsey Dairy milk which is raised without rBST and Calder's dairy natural milk which still contains the cream and is better absorbed by the body. Call or email for more info on raw milk co-op. |

| Kick the Caffeine Habit: Caffeine stimulates the adrenal glands causing fatigue, lack of physical endurance and stamina, depressed immune system, allergic reactions, weight gain, low blood pressure, and dizziness. Caffeine also stimulates the liver to release more sugar into the blood stream and impairs calcium absorption, this is a major concern for children whose bones are still developing. What should you drink? Water, the most important fluid, specialists recommend 1/2 your body weight in ounces. Try filtered water, it has less chemicals. |
|
 |
| Lose the Table Salt: Table salt is sodium chloride that has been processed at high temperatures, which changes the molecular structure and removes vital minerals. It also contains additives and anticaking agents. Excess consumption is associated with high blood pressure, fluid retention, heart and kidney disease. The best way to balance minerals (including sodium) is to use Celtic Sea Salt. It contains 80 vital minerals which help maintain fluid balance, normalize blood pressure, enhance digestion and nourish the adrenal glands. |

 |
| Pitch your refined sugars and artificial sweeteners: The average person consumes 154 lbs of sugar per year, contributing to hypoglycemia,diabetes, syndrome X and depression. Artificial sweeteners have been linked to cancer, weight gain, impaired coorination and decreased mental function. We carry natural alternatives like Stevia, Xylitol, Grade B maple syrup, raw honey and natural cane sugars. |
|
 |
| Toss Out All White Flour: White flour breaks down in the body just like sugar. And because of the hybridization of wheat in the 1950's, which increased the gluten content, gluten intolerance is on the rise. We carry a large line of gluten and wheat free products. |
