Fruits and vegetables and other whole foods are absolutely, unequivocally important for all humans, adults and children.  It is stated that we should eat 5-9 servings Think about whether you eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables daily.  Do you?  Of course not. I would like to add something to this.  Three of these fruits and vegetables should be dense, nutritious choices like parsley, kale, spinach, broccoli, and beets.

This is because :

1. It is a relatively new concept.
2. They wonder how taking Juice Plus+® can be so healthy.  It just seems too easy.
3. People wonder how we get fruits and vegetables in a capsule.  Juice Plus+® is concentrated fruit, vegetable, berry and grain juice powders.  If  you remove all the water from a glass of orange juice, what would be left is the powder, which is the concentrate.

, do you?

Your first priority should be to eat wholesome foods.  Second, choose concentrated food sources to support your diet.  Third, choose your vitamin and mineral supplements according to your needs.

It is important to understand that it takes time for whole food supplements to work in conjunction with normal body functions. Most people do feel different after a few short months on  Juice Plus+®.  But others that make statements that they don't feel a difference are under the delusion that nutrients work like drugs and you should feel immediate effects.   Nutrients do have few immediate effects.  We have to wait until nature gets rid of deficient and defective cells, and replaces them with new cells that grow and strengthen the body. , but you may not immediately feel these. Your body is constantly replacing cells throughout your life.  Renewal is slow and steady.

Your blood cells take three months for renewal, muscle cells and organs take six months, bones and teeth about a year.  That is what good, sound nutrition is all about.  You have to wait until the nutrients are built into your structure to feel the difference and for it to show.  It is similar to a house plant that has been neglected-you start to fertilize the plant and the plant perks up.  But it sometimes takes a few days or weeks  weeks to see the difference. 

Every year 97% of your body is replaced, reconstructed from the foods you eat.  You have to make the choice.  Are you going to depend on foods produced by nature or on man's supplements made in a laboratory?  At Yale New Haven Hospital, researchers evaluated 257 vitamin products.  (20).  Some were made with wrong or cheap nutrients, some had improper ratios of nutrients, some were missing vitamins or minerals that were necessary.  Only 49 were judged to be adequate.  Choose your supplements carefully.  Ask professionals or health food store owners to identify the best companies.  Ask for a bioavailability study on the supplements you choose.

 In In summary, it is just a matter of understanding what true nutrition is and the role vitamin and mineral supplements play.  Your priority is to eat healthy food, exercise and drink plenty of purified water.  The supplements you choose are entirely up to you.  Just make sure there is research to back up the bioavailability.  Juice Plus+®  has been  proven to be  bioavailable.  The research has shown its effects reach down to the cellular structure of the body which is the ultimate goal of any formulated health product.
