Constant UTI suffers 'haven't had one' since taking 'life-changing' supplement
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common ailment, particularly among women. The constant need to urinate and the pain associated with it can significantly disrupt daily routines and affect overall wellbeing. This often results in repeated antibiotic treatments and ongoing frustration. UTIs can impact the bladder, urethra or kidneys, presenting symptoms such as painful urination, blood in the urine, and abdominal or back pain. These infections typically occur when bacteria from faeces enter the urinary tract. While hydration, good hygiene and cranberry supplements are often recommended, many are seeking solutions that work in harmony with the body's natural microbiome. Now, customers can purchase the pH Hero Vaginal Health Support 30 capsules from Dr Vegan on a monthly subscription for £24.64, reduced from £28.99. Additionally, they can receive a further 25% off their first order using the code PH25, reports the Mirror. According to the brand, pH Hero is an award-winning blend of scientifically studied live bacteria and botanicals designed to support urinary tract health. It aids in protecting against discomfort and supports the vaginal microbiome. The formula includes five strains of live cultures providing 20bn CFU (colony forming units), prebiotics, Cranberry, Sea Buckthorn and Nettle for effective pH Hero supplement boasts a blend of ingredients with multiple health benefits, including Sea Buckthorn, which thrives in tough coastal environments. The brand highlights that Sea Buckthorn 'contributes to the mucosal function of the vagina, providing support in the case of vaginal dryness, and maintaining healthy skin from within.' Nettle is included for its natural detoxifying effects and is recognised for aiding urinary tract health. Parsley is another key component, promoting kidney function and healthy urinary flow, beneficial for those seeking to keep their excretory system in check. Cranberry, commonly used by individuals managing recurrent UTIs, offers antioxidant properties to fight oxidative stress. The product's composition is rounded off with Vitamin B6, essential for regulating hormonal activity and supporting normal cysteine synthesis, crucial for the balance of the urinary and vaginal microbiomes. For customers looking for other options, Time Health's Intimate Flora for Women retails at £21.99 and includes targeted probiotic strains along with cranberry and d-mannose for urinary tract support. Alternatively, Natures Aid Cranberry 500mg available for £8.22 at Health Store Express is reputed to aid UTIs, detoxification, and blood toxin removal. The pH Hero has garnered high praise from its users, with Leslie sharing her personal experience: "pH hero has totally changed my life. I am 58 with the bladder of an 18 year old. I was having so many problems and constantly wanting the toilet before I found pH Hero. Now I don't wake in the night and I don't need the loo constantly. I adore this product I have been on it now a year and wont be without it again." Melinda also expressed her satisfaction, stating: "PH Hero has been the very first product in over 20 years that keeps UTIs at bay. If, like me, you suffer and rely on antibiotics and cranberry, take PH Hero. I haven't had a UTI since taking them,". However, not all feedback has been positive, as some customers have voiced their concerns on Trustpilot. One customer remarked: "Plenty of guidance and feed requested from customers, but still haven't received the product yet! I ordered and paid on 3rd May and it still hasn't arrived." Another shopper, Alex, shared a more favourable review: "This has been a total game-changer for me. I was crippled with constant UTI's for years, nothing worked and over a few weeks they stopped and nothing since." Those interested can purchase pH Hero from Dr Vegan.

Urinary tract infections are common but there are ways to treat it for 25% off Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are incredibly common, especially among women. From constant urges, to painful trips to the bathroom, recurring UTIs can seriously disrupt daily life and in turn, impact wellbeing - often leading to repeated courses of antibiotics and ongoing frustration. UTIs can affect the bladder, urethra or kidneys, and can include symptoms such as pain while peeing, blood in the pee, and pain in the tummy or back, with infections usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. While hydrating, hygiene and cranberry supplements are among some of the recommendations, many are turning to targeted support that works with the body's natural microbiome. Now shoppers can grab the pH Hero Vaginal Health Support 30 capsules from Dr Vegan for a monthly subscription of £24.64 down from £28.99 to help.

Finding Soft Serve Heaven in Japan's Northernmost Prefecture
The giant cat pushes its paws impatiently against the screen door. It looks like it is trying to escape. "It's a Maine Coon," the female owner of the cat cafe explains. The felines in residence, however, are not the main attraction at Catwings, a cafe in Obihiro, Hokkaido. Cat themed soft serve from a cat cafe Catwings in Obihiro. (©Agnes Tandler) This summer, the cafe is offering a special treat for humans: a cat-themed soft serve ice cream. It comes with cat ears and little paws, which the owner carefully arranges. The cuteness factor seems hard to match by the cats that are just waiting to be stroked and admired. Farms and fields are a common sight in the Tokachi region. (©Agnes Tandler) Catwings is one of the 171 shops in Hokkaido that take part in the annual Hokkaido Soft Serve Rally. The "Melting Happiness Tour" runs for three months from June to September. Ice cream aficionados can collect stamps and win prizes. No summer in Hokkaido is complete without soft serve ice cream. Famously, even roadside stations in Japan's northernmost prefecture offer the sweet, buttery coolness made from fresh Hokkaido milk. But for the best selection, the soft serve expert must travel deep inland to Tokachi, the top milk-producing region in Hokkaido. It is here where one can find the best soft ice cream in cups and cones. Tokachi Toteppo Factory in Obihiro sells soft serve from its own farm. (©Agnes Tandler) Soft serve is everywhere in Tokachi. Shortly after 10 AM, more than 20 people are happily eating ice cream in the lush garden of Tokachi Toteppo Factory, a former railway site just ten minutes away from Obihiro station. Located in the center of Tokachi, the cafe offers soft serve from its own farm. The region has about three times more cows and cattle than human inhabitants, so there is enough milk to go around. Apart from dairy, the area is renowned for wheat, potatoes, beans, and sugar beets. No wonder that at least three major national confectionery companies have their headquarters in Obihiro, the urban center of the region. The town with around 160,000 inhabitants might not be the most beautiful sightseeing destination, but its ice cream, gardens, wayside roses, and greenery make up for it. Cranberry, one of Obihiro's famous confectionery shops, has been taking sweet potatoes to another level for more than 50 years. People are lining up for its large sweet potato cakes made from eggs, butter, sweet potato, and custard cream. Cranberry also serves sweet potato soft serve for those with smaller sugar cravings. A couple of streets away, Rokkatei, another Obihiro sweet shop, keeps its soft serve ingredients simple with just sugar and raw milk. There seems to be barely a place in town that does not offer soft serve. Soft serve is sold at roadside rest stations (Michi-no-eki) in Tokachi. (©Agnes Tandler) Manabe Garden, a privately owned garden with rare trees imported from Northern Europe and Canada, is no exception. Visitors can enjoy coffee and soft serve surrounded by roses and conifer trees. Even the students of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine enjoy ice cream breaks between lectures. The large tree-lined campus has its own farm-to-table cafe to cater to the need. In a nod to its academic focus, the university's soft serve comes with a little cookie in the shape of a cow. Farm Designs is a cafe on the campus of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. (©Agnes Tandler) Twenty-year-old Zen, who has just parked his bicycle outside, has come to get some soft serve. He comes from a farming family. He and his parents grow vegetables like beans, potatoes, and corn on their farm close to the university. "It's hard work," Zen admits while he eats his ice cream. "I would rather study computer programming than agriculture." Eighty years ago, at the end of World War II, evacuees from urban centers and repatriates from Manchuria and Sakhalin settled in Tokachi and cultivated the wasteland and remote areas. Now, people here move from Tokachi to bigger places like Tokyo, Osaka, or even Australia. Zen dreams of moving to Australia — but he might miss Tokachi's soft serve. Author: Agnes Tandler

Cranberry day care worker charged with assaulting 3-year-old boy during naptime
A Cranberry day care worker is charged with assaulting a 3-year-old boy during naptime. According to court paperwork, 26-year-old Joshua Branstetter was charged with endangering the welfare of children and simple assault after police said he injured a 3-year-old boy at Allie Alligator on Commerce Park Drive. Police said the investigation into Branstetter began after they got a ChildLine report at the end of May. Investigators said they learned that shortly before 1 p.m. on May 22, Branstetter, an assistant group supervisor at the day care, was sitting with a boy during naptime. Police said Brantstetter, who had his hand on the boy's back, forcefully pushed the boy back down onto his bed, causing him to hit his face off the bedframe. "The push was so forceful that Branstetter's leg lifted off the ground and he rocked himself forward," police wrote in the criminal complaint. "Additionally, the force caused the bed to move forward a few inches" when the victim's head "forcefully struck the frame of the bed," police wrote. The boy had injuries to his left eye, including swelling, and he needed medical evaluation, the criminal complaint says. KDKA-TV reached out to Allie Alligator for a statement about Branstetter and his current employment status but hasn't heard back.
