"FIGHT CANCER, HEART DISEASE
and the effects of aging"

It's essential to get a colourful variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet everyday! Why? Because colorful fruit and vegetables provide the wide range of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals your body uses to maintain good health and energy levels, protect against the effects of aging, and reduce the risk of cancer and heath disaese.

Some helpful vocabulary:

Nutrients:

Vitamins & Minerals-
Natural substances contained in a wide variety of foods, long recognized as essential to maintaining healthy body systems. It is important to get your nutrition as much as possible from whole foods as they are made in mother natures balance of nutrients. Isolated vitamins and minerals may cause more harm than good as your body may not recognize vitamins and minerals out of natures synergy.

Carbohydrates, proteins & fats-
Compounds found in foods that the body uses to generate energy or build cells.

Phytochemicals-
Natural plant compounds that may provide a variety of health benefits. Many of the bright colors in fruit and vegetables come from phytochemicals. Once a phytochemical or plant nutrient has been recognized to have a specific benefit, it is labelled as a vitamin - like Vitamin C. There are 1000's of phytochemicals in a single fruit or vegetable, so again it is best to eat whole foods.

Antioxidants-
Plant substances that protect the body by neutralizing free radicals, or unstable oxygen molecules, which can damage cells and lead to poor health. Just by breathing, eating and exercising, we exert energy and burn fuel. This causes oxidation or aging in our body just like burning logs on the fire causes smoke. The best source of ANTIoxidants is a diet rich in fruit and vegetables.

If you cannot or will not eat 7-9 serves of fruit and vegetables daily, you may like to consider adding Juice Plus+ to your diet plan.
