Diet

Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”
Our good health needs to be seen in all terms, of which one is diet. It is very hard to eat, and to get our family to eat, a healthy diet. I know two children in one family who refuse to eat certain vegetables: he won’t anything green or from above the ground and she won’t eat anything from below the ground – no root vegetables. Then neither will willingly eat fruit. It’s not just children either. So how to maintain a balanced diet?
I recommend a product called Juice Plus+

WHY AM I TAKING AND RECOMMENDING Juice Plus+?

· The National Cancer Institute recommends 5 – 9 servings per day of raw fruits and vegetables to help prevent lung, breast, colon and prostate cancers by 50% or more.

· The Irish Heart Foundation recommends 5 + servings per day of raw fruits and vegetables to prevent heart disease and stroke.

· The U.S. government has spent billions trying to find cures for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other diseases.
Their conclusion: Disease is easier to prevent than it is to cure.
Their recommendation: Eat 5 – 9 servings of fresh raw fruits and vegetables every day.
The problem: Almost no one does.

ARE JUST ANY FRUITS AND VEGETABLE OK? No, and here’s why. . .

· They need to be RAW because enzymes are only found in RAW foods. Enzymes act as catalysts for the 10,000 functions per second that our cells undergo. Cooking destroys enzymes. Meat is cooked, milk is pasteurized, grains are baked, and nuts are roasted. Fruits and vegetables are the only other source of enzymes, and most of us cook those too.

· VARIETY is important. Each fruit and vegetable has a unique composition of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, and trace elements. Most people eat only the 3 or 4 fruits and vegetables they like. They may be missing some important fuel. Kale is the #1 anti-cancer vegetable. I don’t eat it, do you?

1. Produce needs to be VINE RIPENED. Not only does this create the beautiful bright colors of our fruits and vegetables, it allows the nutrients to develop in the food so our bodies can absorb them.

2. Fruits and vegetables need to be FRESH! 75% of the nutrients are lost within 5 days after picking. Most of the produce in the market was picked weeks ago, before it was ripe, and before the nutrients had a chance to develop. Then it was allowed to sit on trucks and in warehouses where even more nutrients were lost.

Juice Plus+ is REAL FOOD. It is composed of 17 raw chemical and pesticide free fruits, vegetables and grains, which are grown in nutrient dense soil, allowed to ripen on the vine, picked and juiced within 24 hours. It was developed to fill the gap between what we actually eat and what we truly need for good health. Aren’t you glad you have Juice Plus+ as a part of your healthy lifestyle?

Juice Plus+ … Nutrition from fruits and vegetables

Juice plus+ is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to add more great nutrition from 17 different fruits and vegetables every day.

Juice plus+ is a fruit and vegetable whole-food nutritional support based on the concept that whole foods provide the mix, or the ‘orchestrated effect’, of phytonutrients that are found in nature and that make an important contribution to healthy well-balanced diet.

Juice-Plus+® Fruit Blend is created from a wholefood base of 8 different fruits: apples, oranges, pineapples, peaches, cranberries, papayas, acerola cherries, dates, and prunes.
Juice Plus+® Vegetable Blend is created from no less then 9 different vegetables and the fibre from 2 grains: beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, kale, spinach, parsley, garlic and tomato, with fibre powders of oats and rice bran.
