Today I {MJ} want to share something with you that is very near and dear to my heart. I am very passionate about nutrition and preventative health and wellness. North Carolina is the 5th most obese state in all of the 50 United States! I will be sharing lots of great health and wellness information with you in the New Year! In my journey to wellness I discovered Juice Plus+, which is the most amazing way to get additional vine ripened, pesticide free fruits and vegetables into our diets that we are lacking.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends we eat 7 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Most people don’t come anywhere close. Clinically proven Juice Plus+ helps you bridge the gap between what you should eat and what you do eat, every day.
Juice Plus+® is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive {less than $1.38 per day for adults!} way to add more nutrition from fruits and vegetables to your diet, every day. Taking Juice Plus+ is the next best thing to eating fruits and vegetables. Of course, there is no substitute for eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. But because most people simply can’t, don’t, or won’t, Juice Plus+ helps fill that gap.
Juice Plus+ provides nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains. Each ingredient is specially selected to provide you with a wide range of nutritional benefits. Juice Plus+ contains not only a much wider variety of naturally occurring vitamins than vitamin supplements, but it also contains other phytonutrients, antioxidants, and nutrients — even some of the fiber — found in the fruits and vegetables it’s made from. These nutrients work together in combination to provide you more of the nutritional benefits of eating healthful whole foods. Click here to watch the video of how this is done!
Juice Plus+® Chewables delivers the same fruit and vegetable powder blends as the Juice Plus+® capsules but in a tasty, soft chewable form. Their appealing taste comes from two all-natural sweeteners – tapioca syrup and organic cane syrup – absolutely no high fructose corn syrup. They contain no artificial flavors or artificial colors and are 100% vegetarian; the ‘chewiness’ comes from fruit pectins, not gelatin. My family can’t stop eating these new chews!! They are great for snacking on too!
Juice Plus+ Vineyard Blend® provides naturally balanced whole food based nutrition from Concord grapes and eight different berries – blueberry, cranberry, blackberry, bilberry, raspberry, red currant, black currant and elderberry. Berries and grapes provide some of nature’s most powerful and healthful antioxidants.
The many healthful benefits of Juice Plus+® have been demonstrated through numerous independent clinical research studies conducted in leading hospitals and universities by investigators in the United States, England, Australia, Austria, Italy, and Japan.
Juice Plus+ Complete® is a whole food based beverage product that provides balanced nutrition in every scoop. Juice Plus+ Complete can be used in any number of ways: as a healthful “on-the-go” breakfast, pre-exercise energy drink, post-workout recovery drink, or a late night snack. It comes in your choice of two delicious flavors: French Vanilla and Dutch Chocolate.
Another reason I love Juice Plus+ so much is because they care about our future generation. They have a Children’s Health Study/Foundation which enables for a child between the ages of 4 and 24 to receive Juice Plus+ free for up to 3 years!
Here are a few startling statistics:
Less than 7% of all children and adolescents consume the recommended 3 servings of vegetables per day. (Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine)
1 child in 4 is obese. (International Journal of Obesity)
About 6% of elementary school children and 7% of adolescent children miss 11 or more days of school yearly due to illness or injury. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
In the last 20 years, Type 2 diabetes has increased ten-fold. (International Journal of Obesity)
We’re not paying enough attention to good nutrition and our children are paying the price.
