The Irish Association of Health Stores is launching its first ever Rude Health Week to encourage ongoing good health habits around the country all year long.
The organisers of the hugely successful Rude Health at the RDS exhibition, which takes place each September, are promoting this Rude Health Week from Monday, February 15th to Saturday 20th, 2010 in all IAHS stores throughout Ireland.
"Many of our members have found from customer feedback that people would like a boost between our very popular annual Rude Health shows in the RDS. We felt that a Rude Health Week in early Spring would be a good time to highlight the need for people to look after themselves as naturally as possible, all year round", says Kevin Connolly of the Irish Association of Health Stores.
"There was a 25% increase in attendance at Rude Health last September. It was clear that stress, sleeping problems were major concerns of people attending the Show and that more people than ever are looking for safe alternative solutions."
"People are also worried about hospital bugs and doctors' bills so they are more aware of the importance of preventing illness and promoting wellbeing. We want this Rude Health Week to be a reminder for people that they can come into any of our stores and talk to highly trained and qualified staff who can give them excellent advice on improving their health and lifestyles very naturally and safely."
Members of the IAHS represent Ireland's leading health stores and their Code of Ethics ensures their staff are trained to offer professional guidance and advice on healthy diets, natural remedies, eco-friendly alternatives to standard detergents and skincare, and much more besides. In short, your local store offers a 'one stop shop' for the maintenance of good health by natural means.
Rude Health Week will give customers the opportunity to avail of special offers, free talks and lots more to celebrate Ireland's independent health stores. "We think mid February is a good time for Rude Health Week as this is when many people's good intentions start to flag a little bit!" says Kevin Connolly.
"We have just started into a new decade, as well as a new year, and we hope that Rude Health Week will really help people to embrace a naturally healthier lifestyle."
Rude Health Week will take place in all Irish Association of Health Stores shops from Monday February 15th to Saturday February 20th, 2010. Visit your local IAHS store for more details.
