*That a hamburger and fries from any fast food restaurant looks the same 5 yrs later as it did when you first bought it? Goes to show you all the preservatives that are in that food! How long do fruits and veggies last? A week maybe? Stick with those foods that are natural and will go bad if you don't eat them with in the week.
*It's better when shopping at the grocery store to stay around the outer edges - this is where all the fresh food items are: fruits, veggies, dairy, meats, etc

What is Juice Plus?
I have been taking Juice Plus for almost 3 years now. Juice plus is 17 different fruits and vegetables and grains in an inexpensive capsule. It contains 7 different fruits: apples, oranges, pineapple, cranberries, peaches, cherries and papaya. It also contains 10 different nutrient dense vegetables and grains: carrots, parsley, beets, kale, brocolli, cabbage, spinach, tomoatoes, and barley and oat fibers. We are now supposed to get NINE-TWELVE servings of raw fruits and vegetables each day. Who does this? Imagine how much money you'd spend on this many fruits/veggies per day. One apples (one serving of fruit) is $1.00 and if you were to get a salad at a restaurant (2-3 servings of veggies) it will cost you approximately $10.00. A bunch of grapes will cost around $3.50 (and one cup of grapes is one serving of fruit).
When you look at the cost of fruits and veggies, Juice Plus is a very inexpensive way to get 5-6 servings of vegetables each day (by taking 2 fruit capsules in the am and 2 veggie capsules in the afternoon). It's cost about $1.33 a day! (less than the cost of TWO apples)!!! Basically the foods in Juice plus have been picked off the vine, dehydrated (not losing any of the nutritional value) with the sugars taken out. The product has powerful phytonutrients and antioxidents needed for your body! I'm not one to give into whims and new fads. Nor am I one to throw money away! I'm so glad I've been able to give my body what it needs with Juice Plus. I am a distributor of Juice plus. Check out my website at www.juiceplus.com/+cm40230 If you're interested in getting juice plus please email me or sign up on the site!
Juice plus also comes in chewable and gummie form (for kids or adults) - they're yummy!

What's good for you?
It's all the rave today...eat less fatty foods, get at least 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, etc. In today's fast paced world, one has to really be conscious to make these things happen. It's too easy to stop at fast food restaurants while on the way to the children's activities, and who has time to look into finding healthy recipes and cooking? Exercise is also pushed aside because of our busy lives. But it's critical that we take care of our bodies and those that we care for. I recently heard that we will outlive this generation of children because of what they are putting in their bodies! Amazing isn't it? I want to be a resource for those who don't have time to read a whole nutrition magazine or search for recipes. I enjoy reading about nutrition and health and i'd like to pass it on to those also interested.
