| We’d like to share another bit of inspiration with you. You already know that Juice Plus+ adds whole food based nutrition to your diet—but you may not know just how much of a difference whole foods can make. |
| Protection against disease. Many studies have found a whole food based diet to be associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. |
| More complete nutrition. With processed foods, many nutrients are removed during the manufacturing process. But whole foods retain their fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other healthful nutrients. |
| Absence of additives. Often packed with excess salt, fat, and simple sugars, processed foods can lead to increased blood pressure, weight gain, and disease. Conversely, whole foods slow down the digestive process (allowing for better absorption of their balanced nutrients) and the conversion of starches into glucose (helping regulate blood sugar). |
| Lower cost. In addition to avoiding processing costs, whole foods can save you a little money by satisfying your hunger with less. Because whole foods are often dense with fiber and filling nutrients like protein, a serving of a whole food is more likely to fill you up than a serving of a processed food is. |
| Better nutrition can also give you a boost in energy. Make One Simple Change to do more exercise, then add more hydration to your daily routine. It gives you more energy, helps you feel better and clears your mind. |
