Juice Plus+® - Nutrients For An Aging Population

Juice Plus+® is recommended for those who do not or will not eat enough fruits and vegetables.

There is a segment of the population that is moving into their golden years, and it will be the largest number of seniors than evern before, as a percentage of the total population. A healthy diet is always important - during the growth years, during the stress-filled years, and certainly during the retirement years. It turns out that this aging population is not getting enough healthy nutrients as they need, one reason we recommend Juice Plus+®.  Hard to figure, since this is the generation that, during their prime, was introduced to McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and the rest of the fat-filled and calorie-filled items that we see on every street corner. Here's more from ScienceDaily.com --

ScienceDaily — Research from the Changing Ageing Partnership (CAP) reveals that older people are not eating enough fruit and vegetables.

Dr Katherine Appleton from the School of Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast conducted the research on behalf of CAP. Dr Appleton said: "Fruit and vegetables are vital for psychological as well as physical health. We found that fruit and vegetable consumption became lower with increasing age and that intake was particularly low in males and people living in more deprived areas.

"Older people in Northern Ireland are eating on average four portions of fruit and vegetables per day. This is higher than levels in the rest of the UK, but remains below current government recommendations.

"A huge 22 per cent of respondents were not aware of the current government guidelines on eating five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. In fact, some respondents who were eating only two portions per day thought they were eating enough. Read more...

Comments: The most important part of a healthy diet comes from fruits and vegetables. While the quality of those foods these days is suspect, it still goes without saying that those who are getting the minimum recommended amount each day are 10x more likely to be healthy - free from sickness, allergies, and poor health - than those who don't aren't consuming the minimum.

What's left to be seen is the generation behind this one, many of whom were actually raised on high fructose corn syrup (soft drinks), hamburgers, french fries, tacos, and pizza. Who knows, they may not even make it to their retirement years as many see problems with diabetes, early heart attacks, and the plethora of other problems that poor nutrition is causing.

Do yourself a favor and start moving toward a healthy diet. If you need a diet plan for weight loss and healthy living, check out The Vice Busting Diet Plans. If not that one, then something. Your health shouldn't be taken for granted.

If you don't or won't eat enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, I recommend Juice Plus+®. It's 7 different fruits, 8 different vegetables, some enzymes and grains, all in a capsule. The fruit and vegetable juice is dried at a low temperature, so the water, sugar, and most of the fiber are no longer there....BUT, what is left is the nutrients that are important for the health of your body's trillions of cells. Try a 4-month supply risk-free.

Juice Drinks Plus Soft Drinks Need Less Sugar

Juice Plus+® is recommended for those who do not get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet. Juice Plus+® contains is whole food nutrition, unlike vitamins, and contains nutrients from a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Probably the biggest contributor to the extra weight that the majority of Americans have, is the calories they get from beverages. It is just too easy to consume a lot of calories when they come in the form of juice drinks or soft drinks. Too many beverages are just loaded with sugar, alcohol included. By substituting water for those many other beverages, you can easily cut a few pounds from your weight, not to mention the improvement in your energy levels. Here's more from ABCnews.com --

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Soft drink makers should invent and market a new category of semi-sweet beverages that will help wean Americans off their reliance on sugary drinks, nutrition experts said on Monday.

They proposed a new class of reduced-calorie beverages with no more than 1 gram of sugar per ounce, which with about 50 calories is about 70 percent less sugar than a typical soft drink contains. They said such drinks should also be free of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame and saccharine.

"We need to retrain American tastes away from super-sweet drinks," Lilian Cheung of the Harvard School of Public Health said in a statement.

"If we can shift the present American norm back to a lower expectation of sweetness, people will adjust their palates, particularly the younger population."

The American Beverage Association, which represents soft drink makers, was not immediately available for comment. Of course not, they don't want to face the facts that they are responsible for the demise of a large number of people's health! (source)

Note: If the best we can do is create a new 'class' of juice drinks and sweetened drinks that have low amounts of sugar, so be it. Something done is better than nothing done about the obvious source of unhealthy calories that are widely consumed. But in reality, the problem needs to be addressed by eliminating any beverages with sugar or artificial sweeteners from your diet. The results are clear from the thousands of people who have taken this approach to get healthier. And certainly most of them are happy to lose weight as a result of this action.

All you have to do is look at the consumption of soft drinks on a per capita basis to realize that this is the #1 source of calories contributing to not only the overweight and obesity epidemic, but the dwindling health of America.

No health care plan is going to make you healthy or take care of you. Only a healthy lifestyle from healthy choices will. So start choosing health.

Proper Nutrition Needed For Prevention of Sickness and Disease

Juice Plus+® is recommended for those who do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, since Juice Plus+® contains nutrients from a variety of those whole foods.

April 22, 2009 (Denver, Colorado) — Numerous studies on diet and cancer were presented here at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 100th Annual Meeting, but several of the findings that were highlighted in AACR press releases — and thus are likely to be picked up by the lay media — run counter to the accumulated body of evidence, and some of the comments based on these studies are untrue or premature. So said Walter Willet, MD, DrPH, from the department of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, Massachusetts, in an exclusive interview with Medscape Oncology.

"No conclusions should be made on the basis of a single study," he said.

Dr. Willett presented an overview entitled "Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer: The Search for Truth," in which he reviewed many of the associations that have been suggested by epidemiologic studies. These include consumption of red meat, meat cooked at a high temperature, a high-fat diet, and alcohol all increasing the risk, and fruit and vegetables decreasing the risk. However, much of the evidence for these links is rather weak, he said; the most robust evidence supports a link between obesity and an increased risk for cancer.

"The estimate that diet contributes to around 30% to 35% of cancers is still reasonable," Dr. Willet said, "but much of this is related to being overweight and inactive."

"At this point in time, being overweight is second only to smoking as a clear and avoidable cause of cancer," he said. "People should stay as lean as they can, recognizing that it is more difficult for some than for others." Read more...

Comments: Whether one study 'proves' it or not, there should be no doubt that a healthy diet that includes whole food nutrition - i.e. fruits and vegetables, preferrably uncooked - are most important for good health and the prevention of sickness and disease. Of course, avoiding the thousands of other unhealthy products is important too. But if you're selecting your foods from plants, trees, and vines, you don't have to worry about those processed foods that fill the shelves of the supermarkets. Stay away from all the man-made drinks too, and go with water.

And if you don't get enough good nutrition in your diet, then choose a whole food nutritional supplement, Juice Plus+®.

Juice Plus+® Is Whole Food, Balanced Nutrition

Juice Plus+® is recommended as a dietary supplement because it contains nutrients from a variety of fruits and vegetables, unlike vitamin supplements which are missing the phytonutrients present in the whole food.

As vitamins are only a small part of the nutritional healing picture, and some studies show can be harmful, we have changed from isolated and synthetic supplements to using whole-food supplements.

Although there is always much debate about which supplements are best, owing to the large numbers of companies selling them, and the claims they make, there are a few points to keep in mind when making your selection. Whether one supplement is better than another amounts a few points that must be understood first, not to mention the research data that is published. First, about why whole-food supplements are your best choice.

A whole-food supplement, is one comprised of foods (not extracts, but entire foods) that have been concentrated into supplemental form. Isolated supplements are singular (or groups of individual) vitamins, minerals. Whole foods contain vitamins, but vitamins never contain the rest of the whole-food "complex."  It's a fact that we need the whole food to get ALL the nutrients in that whole food, not just because it contains vitamin C for example. 

According to Vic Shayne,PhD, author of Whole Food Nutrition: The Missing Link in Vitamin Therapy, "Vitamins never exist in isolation, but rather within an interwoven complex of food nutrients and substances along with myriad cofactors and synergists." For instance, a vitamin A supplement is usually vitamin A palmitate, a synthetic form of vitamin A. Or, the supplement may consist of beta carotene, an isolated precursor to vitamin A. Conversely, a whole-food supplement contains the food(s) which not only consists of vitamin A, but particularly vitamin A1; vitamin A2; retino; retinal; retinoic acid; carotenes (there are more than 500 carotenoids in nature); essential fatty acids; fiber; grass factors; pigments; natural sugars; minerals (such as zinc and copper); lipids; bioflavonoids; and nutrients that fall under the broad spectrum of "phytochemicals," ranging from terpenes to isoflavones. Doctors using whole-food supplements in their nutritional practices look not only for vitamins, but, more importantly, rely on these cofactors to bring the body back into biochemical balance. Whole food supplements help get the body's balance back to an optimal equilibrium.

Many biochemical researchers, nutritionists and herbalists have noted that without the whole-food complex, the body will never achieve whole nutrition, as vitamin supplements lack the rest of the complex. Isolated vitamins eventually lead to biochemical imbalances and consequential nutritional deficiencies, as the body is forced to surrender its stores of nutrients in order to make any isolated vitamin work. The use of isolated/synthetic vitamins amounts to the practice of "chemistry," wherein the use of whole-food supplements translates into the practice of biochemistry. Whole foods are alive with enzyme activity, while isolated vitamins are not living substances in the least. Vitamins do not resemble foods, but they resemble parts of foods. It is the rest of the food complex - the other parts - in which proponents of whole foods are interested. Retired USDA botanist, James Duke,PhD, author of The Green Pharmacy, agrees: "Vitamins and phytochemicals are better taken in their evolutionary context - as they occur in plants - not isolated and out of context." Although it is true that isolated vitamin supplementation "works," we must define the word "work."

Certainly, experiments have shown the efficacy of vitamins against symptomatology, but some experts claim that this is a matter of practicing pharmacology, not nutrition. Nutrition relates to nourishment by foods, not isolated chemicals. Whole foods work biochemically and harmoniously, while isolated vitamins always run the risk of creating biochemical imbalances. When speaking of minerals, there is the added risk of toxicity, as minerals must enjoy a biochemical balance to promote health. Zinc; copper; iron; calcium; magnesium; phosphorus; and other minerals are easily upset and offset by an improper ratio of minerals in the body. Taking isolated minerals and mineral toddies, even in a multivitamin/mineral supplement, is a biochemical risk. Too much magnesium or phosphorus may imbalance calcium; too much copper may imbalance vitamin C; zinc; manganese; molybdenum; vitamin B6; and iron; too much zinc can lead to copper deficiency, and so on. Because nutrients in foods are balanced within the food complex, the risk of toxicity is very low.

Conversely, trying to balance the body's biochemistry with mineral and vitamin supplements is very difficult because of the dynamic complexity of the human organism; the daily diet; exposure to environmental poisons; stress factors; genetics, etc. A whole-food complex supplement containing a multitude of plant foods known to be mineral-rich, and also include synergistic Juice Plus+®, trace mineral activators; and enzymes is most supportive of one's health. Nature's design is a safer choice due its inherent intelligence and perfect balance. When using whole-food supplements, doctors must realize a paradigm shift and the need to stop regarding foods as chemicals. We have to understand that the "more is better" attitude does not apply to food -  vitamins or minerals. The quality of the food complex becomes more important than the quantity of individual vitamins and minerals.

Our first recommendation is to get back to a balanced diet, eating an array of fruits and vegetables, and in at least a minimum recommended amount each day to support your lifestyle and body type. Short of that, if you need a supplement, one that is made from whole foods will be superior to any one or multitude of single vitamins. The one that we have selected for our clients is Juice Plus+®, which leads the industry in research on the efficacy of the fruit and vegetable nutrients used in the capsules. Juice Plus+® is a leader in research on the product, so you can feel confident that you're getting the best quality for your health.

The Skinny--the food we eat matters we need less junk; more fruits and vegetables

Juice Plus+® is recommended for those who don't get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet.

My first thought when I read a similar headline was "duh!", but the concept actually warrents further consideration.

Every few months, a new study purports to prove that a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, and that the only way to lose weight is to burn more than you take in.

But veteran dieters know something that some researchers apparently don't: Certain foods seem to fuel the appetite like pouring gasoline on a fire. Some people find that once they start eating bread, cookies, chocolate, potato chips -- or leftover Easter candy -- they lose all sense of fullness and find it difficult to stop.

That's the concept behind "The Skinny," a new book by Louis J. Aronne, longtime director of the Comprehensive Weight Loss Program at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He makes the best case yet why what you eat and when you eat it can make a big difference in appetite, satiety and how much willpower it takes to cut down. "It's true that a calorie is a calorie," Dr. Aronne says. "But what that doesn't take into account is how some calories affect what people eat later on."`    

After 23 years of treating patients -- some of it espousing liquid diets -- Dr. Aronne has concluded that refined carbohydrates and foods with high sugar and fat content promote what he calls "fullness resistance." They interfere with the complex hormonal messages the body usually sends to the brain to signal that it's time to stop eating. People feel hungrier instead.

This happens in part because refined carbohydrates raise blood-sugar levels, setting up an insulin surge that drives blood sugar down again, causing rebound hunger. That insulin spike also interferes with leptin, the hormone secreted by fat cells that should tell the body to stop eating. Obese people have loads of leptin, but it either doesn't get to the brain, or the brain becomes resistant to it. "This is not a failure of willpower, it's a physical mechanism," Dr. Aronne writes. The body also becomes resistant to insulin, setting the stage for diabetes.

Other researchers have described similar phenomena. An article in this month's Medical Hypothesis argues that for some people, refined foods with high sugar and carbohydrate content can be just as addictive as tobacco and alcohol.

Dr. Aronne, the author of "The Skinny" is the new diet book guru and his points are 100% right. The only thing that I have to add is this, in my book, The Vice Busting Diet, I was the first and only diet book guru so far to equate the addictions that many of us have to foods to those of alcoholism, drug and tabacco addiction. NEVER would we tempt an addict to attempt to have "just a few" or "a little won't hurt" of their vices yet every diet book ever printed (other than mine!) tries to tell the obese and overweight individual to try to consume their vice foods in moderation. Even diet pills are thrown out there as a solution, but are only dangerous.

Well, if we could control them in moderation,they wouldn't be vices or addictions would they? We can't eat high sugar, fat and carb filled foods in moderation and expect to ward off the inevitable binge that follows.

To end obesity we must control our carbs by eating a diet filled with raw fresh fruits and vegetables, we must avoid fast foods and other overly processed "convienience" foods, we should avoid high fructose corn syrup laced beverages, (and crystaline fructose counts!), sugar filled drinks and alcohol; chosing instead to drink water! An finally we need to eliminate fatty meats opting for lean protein sources such as fish, chicken, nuts, beans, legumes, etc.

In a perfect world, every man, woman and child would get daily exercise or movement--we used to call it playing and fun! Now it's physical labor or "exercise"! We have to move our bodies to maintain ideal health. We should eat whole food plant based diets and yes, every person should take Juice Plus+ to ensure they are giving their bodies the nutrients that they need for optimal health.

A Step Toward Better Health, Juice Plus+® For Children Too

Juice Plus+® is recommended for adults whose diet is deficient of fruits and vegetables. There is also a deficiency in most children's diets and for this reason Juice Plus+® has a Children's Health Study program where adults can get Juice plus free for their children.

It is important to the health of your family to be sure you have adequate nutrition, not just adequate vitamin intake. The nutrition available in fruits and vegetables cannot be replaced or substituted or even supplemented with a daily vitamin or multivitamin or multimineral. If any supplement is taken, it should be one that contains as much of the nutrients from the whole food as possible. This is why Juice Plus+® is the recommended nutritional supplement of choice.

Here's one author's take on vitamins and a study about the unwanted health problems that could result from a deficiency (from Examiner.com) --

A recent study out of University of California, Berkley, shows that blood pressure is lowest in young women whose blood is highest in vitamin C.

My first thought is, "of course!" When the diet is plentiful in vitamin C-rich foods, i.e. fruits and vegetables, the concentration of vitamin C in the blood is high. A diet lacking these vitamin C powerhouse foods is also lacking in other essential micronutrients. When the diet is poor, so is health.

In addition, I wondered how many people would soon run to their pharmacy to buy a supply of vitamin C supplements. It's the American way -- hide behind the pills. People rationalize, "Why take the time and effort to eat more healthful foods, when I can just take a pill?"

Dr. Gladys Block, the lead researcher for this study, realizes that Americans prefer the short cut of taking a supplement rather than making the investment in their health that requires time, effort, and money. She said of the reality of most young women's diets, "The proportion of people who are eating a good diet—not just in terms of vitamin C, but in terms of a whole range of nutrients, is actually quite low. And in this particular population—young people, many of whom are on low incomes—their diets are horrendous. Other researchers in my team have published quite shocking information about what people in this age range are eating, and it's horrible—they are drinking Coke for breakfast!"

"So I say," concludes Block, "let's be realistic about what people are actually doing, and let's get these nutrients into them, one way or another. It seems to me a perfectly prudent recommendation that everyone ought to be taking a multivitamin—they cost pennies a day."

My take on this? I would like to see time, effort, and money dedicated to teaching Americans to eat right and to giving them the facts about the connection between diet and health. Past research has not supported multi-vitamins as a means of dodging heart disease or cancer. Teaching people to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables diet supports cardiovascular health and significantly reduces the risk for cancer. (Reference)

Comments: I strongly disagree with the assessment that a multivitamin is the solution to getting added vitamins in your diet. In fact, there are enough studies done on Vitamins that show how taking these synthetic (man-made) vitamins can actually put your health at risk.

When choosing a supplement, look for one that contains as much of the nutrients in the whole food as possible, because there are literally hundreds of nutrients in each fruit and vegetable...and they're ALL important to your good health.

Bottom line: You can't expect to take Vitamin C and be as healthy as you would if you ate an Orange each day, for example.

Learn why eating fruits and vegetables is especially important, and how you can benefit from adding Juice Plus+® to your diet.

If you have a child whose diet needs added fruit and vegetable nutrients, call us to find out more about the Children's Health Study, where you can get Juice Plus+® free for your child.

Cutting Juice Drinks And Sugary Drinks For Better Health

Because most people do not get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet, Juice Plus+® is the recommended supplement of choice, because Juice Plus+® contains nutrients from a variety of fruits and vegetables.

One of the easiest way to get back to a healthy weight is to cut out juice drinks and other sugary drinks from your diet. The rule of thumb to remember that is much easier - just drink water. You can have a cup of coffee or iced tea at times, but by drinking water most of the time as your #1 beverage, you won't have to worry about added calories from juice drinks, soft drinks, or other unhealthy sugary drinks. Here's more from MSNBC.com on how elminating these drinks can make a big difference in your weight, and your health--

Liquid calories are the bigger culprit than food itself, when it comes to weight loss, a new study suggests. That means soft drinks or soda, as well as fruit drinks, fruit punch and high-calorie beverages sweetened with sugar.

The researchers examined the relationship between beverage consumption among adults and weight change and found weight loss linked to a reduction in liquid calorie consumption. Liquid calorie intake had a stronger impact on weight than solid calorie intake among the 810 male and female subjects recruited from Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Durham, N.C., and Portland, Ore. The results are published in the April 1 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Read more...

Comments: A healthy diet starts with plenty of water each day. We know from successful 'dieters' that this one action leads to not only better health and weight loss, but more energy as well because sugar tends to 'rob' the body of that high-energy level that most people seek.

Another interesting note: the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also has published a study on the effectiveness of Juice Plus+® nutritional supplement. This is a great way to get added nutrients from fruits and vegetables without the sugar, which can be important for diabetics.

Juice Plus+® And Good Nutrition Is At The Heart Of Your Health

Juice Plus+® is recommended for those who do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, simply because Juice Plus+® contains nutrients from a variety of fruits and vegetables, concentrated in a capsule.

While a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables is at the heart of your good health, and for the good health of your heart, we find that most people are not consuming enough. This is very important for many reasons as you may know.  Here is some advice on how to raise your energy levels to get a 'natural high' from your lifestyle choices (from PsychologyToday.com)--

A diet that makes you feel naturally high also raises your fat-burning metabolism. Did we mention that it also contributes to high self-esteem as you begin to feel and eat better?

This is the advice from nutrition experts Hyla Cass, M.D., and Patrick Holford, coauthors of the book Natural Highs: Supplements, Nutrition and Mind/Body Techniques To Help You Feel Good All the Time (Penguin Putnam). In it they present the perfect brain-food diet based on extensive research in the areas of nutrition, psychology, and neuroscience.

Statistics show that most of us are exhausted, stressed and depressed. To combat this we turn to a variety of boosters to get us through the day (and night). We gobble a muffin with coffee in the morning to get a rush, sip a soda or have a cookie to overcome the afternoon slump and wind down at night with a cocktail. This often adds up to excess calories, weight gain and feelings of hopelessness.

What we are unknowingly doing, say Cass and Holford, is attempting to regulate our moods and energy with substances that work only in the short term—but lead to caffeine lag, blood sugar drops, tiredness and an unhealthy cycle of bad foods.

Here is a highly effective weight-loss diet the experts recommend:

• Eat a serving of high-quality protein three times a day. Higher quality protein is better absorbed and more efficiently utilized, so you will need to eat less of it. Adequate protein promotes good moods. However, too much protein encourages fat storage, so use moderation. Good examples of high-quality protein foods are seafood, poultry, lean red meat, soy, lowfat yogurt, rice with beans, rice with lentils.
• Eat cold-water fish three times a week. This is one of the best sources of omega-3, an essential fatty acid crucial to optimal brain function. Omega-3s are found in salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines and cod.
• Eat two eggs a week, or sprinkle lecithin granules on your cereal, salads or vegetables. These are the best sources of phospholipids, which help you metabolize fat and enhance your mood and mental performance.
• Eat one serving of low Glycemic Index (low-GI) complex carbohydrates at every meal. Complex carbohydrates are long chains of sugar molecules strung together that are digested slowly and help prevent fluctuations in blood sugar levels that can cause depression as well as cravings for sugar and alcohol. Complex carbohydrates also help raise serotonin levels, which calm you down and lift your mood. Good examples of low-GI foods are whole grains, bran, beans, apples, cherries, dried apricots, plums and pears.
• Eat one or two servings of antioxidant fruits and vegetables with every meal. These replenish the body and brain with oxygen, giving you energy and combating illness. Antioxidant-rich foods include prunes, berries, kale, spinach, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts.
• Have a heaping tablespoon of ground seeds a day. These provide you with the needed energy and essential fat to keep your body and brain churning out maximum energy. In a blender or coffee grinder, grind half flaxseeds and half sesame, sunflower, hemp and pumpkin seeds. Keep in a sealed glass jar in refrigerator, and add to your salads, sprinkle over vegetables or cereal, or have in a shake.

Comments: It's fair to say that most people are no where near the above recommended actions in their life. But if you made a point to just start with one, and make a habit of it by doing it each day for about 3 weeks, then adding another and following the same to make these a part of your life, then in just a few months you'd be feeling great...and, you will be living a healthy life!

Diet and exercise can help reduce the risk of degenerative diseases like heart disease and stroke, diabetes and cancer. Learn why eating fruits and vegetables is especially important, and how you can benefit from adding Juice Plus+® to your diet. The listed foods above like berries, kale, spinach, and broccoli, are just some of the fruits and vegetables used to make Juice Plus+®.

Agriculture subsizings role in the food supply

Juice Plus+® is recommended by The Health & Wellness Institute because most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables and Juice Plus+® contains nutrients from a variety of fruits and vegetables.

According to a health and fitness expert with AARP health, fruit and vegetable combinations can help you think more clearly. Martina Navratilova says vegetables and fruits are especially effective when they are raw because their nutrients stay intact.

Navratilova has the following recommendations:

1. Eat vegetables with everything.
2. Add tomato, dark green lettuce and cucumber to sandwiches.
3. Snack on raw vegetables throughout the day.
4. Eat at least one large salad daily. This can be added to a meal.
5. Don't be afraid to experiment with several raw food recipes.

Comments: I'm guessing this is the Tennis star from years back, so I'm not sure if that makes her a 'health and fitness expert'...at least in the area of fruits and vegetables and their effect on the brain. But I'm sure she can be an 'expert' when it comes to personal experience related to health and fitness, and the benefits of eating healthy, so let's just go with that.

Either way, there's never enough emphasis that can be given to the importance of fruits and vegetables. I'm saying it so many times, I believe that it could solve most of the world's problems at this point. Think about it.

•  Step 1. We all start eating at least the minimum recommended amount each day that we need for good health.
• 2. We all begin to feel better, have more energy, more clarity in our thoughts, sleep better, and are sick less.
• 3. Overall, we don't spend as much time with doctors like we use to. In turn, our attitude goes up, our outlook gets better.
• Step 4. We are more productive, work more efficiently, get along better with our co-workers.
• 5. We earn more money, and our family is not as stressed. The economy begins to turn around worldwide.
• Final Result - we spend more time with our families and friends, enjoying good health and good times. The world is at peace.

...All because each one of us started eating more fruits and vegetables. Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

May sound a little corny. But hey, in the name of health and whatever else good that probably will come out of it, why don't we - you - start eating more fruits and vegetables each day and see what happens? It may surprise you.
