Farm Fresh Nutrition: Cranberries from Wisconsin

Why do we need a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants?

Everyone wants to eat right and maintain a healthier lifestyle—whether you're a busy mom hustling to feed on-the-go children, a business traveler trying to stay fit, or an active boomer keeping up with grandkids. Unfortunately, maintaining a balanced nutritional diet is often a challenge. In simplest terms, healthy eating is about getting back to basics − by following the latest USDA guidelines, like those from USDA’s My Plate. The current recommendation for a healthy diet is to fill half your plate at each meal with fruits and vegetables. But healthy eating takes time, planning, and can cost a lot of money. Most of us suffer from a daily fruit and vegetable consumption gap as a result. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, Our products can help you fill that hole in your diet.

Berries are Great Antioxidants.....

The antioxidants in berries are a true powerhouse! They can help your body fight off disease & stay well!   Eating a diet rich in antioxidants is one of the best things you can do for your health. All fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, but nutrient-rich berries are some of the absolute best sources.
There are several powerful antioxidants that appear in berries, including *anthocyanin's, quercetin, and vitamin C. Anthocyanin's give berries their vibrant color, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent and manage arthritis. Anthocyanin's work together with *quercetin to help slow age-related memory-loss. Quercetin can also decrease the inflammatory effects of chemicals in the synovial fluid of the joints for people with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin C is another strong antioxidant found in berries. It is largely responsible for the health of collagen – Hello healthy skin & bye-bye wrinkles. Eating vitamin C–rich berries will contribute to radiant skin, healthy hair, and may reduce the risk of arthritis, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
In addition to being high in antioxidants, berries are “juicy foods,” which means they contain mostly water. Juicy foods are great for staying hydrated and losing weight because they fill you up quickly, since their high water content bumps up the volume while driving down the calories. Berries also contain fiber, folate and other healthy compounds that aid in weight loss, help lower cholesterol & blood pressure, protect us from cardiovascular disease, age-related memory loss, and depression!
Remember, if you can’t find fresh berries, frozen (unsweetened) berries are a good substitute during the off-season months — and just as nutritious! I add berries to almost everything in the summer, even my salads!! What is your favorite way to eat berries?

* Anthocyanins are water-soluble vacuolar pigments that may appear red, purple, or blue depending on the pH. They belong to a parent class of molecules called flavonoids synthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway; they are odorless and nearly flavorless, contributing to taste as a moderately astringent sensation. Anthocyanins occur in all tissues of higher plants, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruits. Anthoxanthins are clear, white to yellow counterparts of anthocyanins occurring in plants. Anthocyanins are derived from anthocyanidins by adding sugars.

* Quercetin is a flavonol found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves and grains. It can be used as an ingredient in supplements, beverages, or foods. While quercetin supplements have been promoted for prevention and treatment of cancer, "there is no reliable clinical evidence that quercetin can prevent or treat cancer in humans". Also, there is no evidence that consuming foods rich in quercetin reduces the risk of cancer or any other disease.

Hello!

Hi everyone! My name is Tracy and I just wanted to share my journey with Juice Plus so far and what it means to me and my family. I had suffered for several years with migraines, lack of energy and constipation. I tried everything!  Juice Plus+ was introduced to me several years ago but never gave it a chance until this past October. I'm so glad I finally tried it, its been My LIFESAVER! I've lost 18lbs, headaches gone (unless self inflicted), boost of energy thru out the day and oh yea.... potty breaks with a smile and a cheer! My husband is a diabetic & was skeptical at first but then he started taking JP too. After 4 months he went in for blood work and to get meds refilled. When he got his results back the following week he was amazed at the results! His H1AC had dropped from the 7's to a 5.8! The threshold for a diabetic is 5.7 so he's on his way to pitching those meds in the trash.  He has also decreased his blood pressure meds in half.  Then I got my daughter on it & all the grandgirls (ages 8 ,6 & 1 1/2).  I was especially excited for the 6 and 1 1/2yr olds to try the gummies because they suffer with asthma attacks and would be in the doctors office 4 or 5 times a month for breathing treatments and meds. So sad! They have been on the gummies for almost 10 months with no asthma attacks & the only doc visit was for an eye infection and only took the drops for one day!! I also just found out that my daughter is no longer taking her Adderall medication which is amazing! So glad Juice Plus+ was introduced to me! #onesimplechange #wholefoodnutrtion #wehavethemagicbeans #plantsheal
