Juice Plus+ Scam, Complaints, Problems

These are terms and phrases you may see on the net when doing a search for Juice Plus+. We have a saying in our household - choose your words wisely.  What you say about someone else and the harsh words you use, are a reflection of you just as much, if not more so, than the person or entity to which you direct them.  This isn't a ethics course, or one on proper vernacular. But I would like to point on some reasonable and rational arguments to the consideration and use of Juice Plus+.

First, let's just get to the negative and put some simple logic (water) on the rage that is brought by a select few about Juice Plus+.  Let's start with a rebuttal for argument's sake that has nothing to do with whether or not Juice Plus+ is even worth your time and money. 

When someone yells and screams and uses slander and harsh words, it may get your attention and even cause you to read on (studies show that bad news sells much better than good).  However, you may get so caught up in the screaming and slandering that you forget what channel you're on - that is, what you're listening to.  Another saying - who you are speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you're saying. Meaning, 'I'm so busy trying to get your attention, you can't tell what I'm talking about'.  So just from an argument or rebuttal, wouldn't you rather take advice from someone who provides calm, rational, non-slanderous, logical thoughts, or should you listen to the protester who is spitting in people's face, yelling profanities, and putting them down?  We are all for freedom of speech, but be careful what and whom you listen to.

Now let's provide an argument that supports the product, not because there are detractors and naysayers (which there will be with anything, no matter how positive; last report, Jesus was still getting some detractors and naysayers, too!), yet because of our own belief in the product. Here's why --

Juice Plus+ was carefully chosen with the quality of the product in mind first. That is, will it provide benefit to the consumer on a level that will support their health, in a noticeable way, so that they will want to keep using it for that purpose. These are our words, but we can honestly say that after meeting the founder of the company who makes Juice Plus+ (also the single largest individual donor to Saint Jude Children's Reasearch Hospital), this just might be close to something he would say. (While donating money to a good cause doesn't make a product deserving on it's own, it certainly is a reflection of the character behind the person who stands for Juice Plus+).

Third, it is always good to hear consumer testimonials. Afterall, we're more likely to listen to our best friend and her experience, than we are to someone or some entitiy (researcher) whom we don't know. And while those are nice, you won't see a lot of pages splashed around the Internet with testimonials from users of Juice Plus+.  It brings criticism, questions, and even doubt from too many places, even the FDA.  This is why we leave it to your neighbor or friend to let you know, and that's how we've managed to grow without putting a lot of hype in some marketing campaign.

Lastly, let's consider the average American diet, and how lacking it is in fruit and vegetable consumption. Over the past 13 years, The Health & Wellness Institute has helped others who seek to lose weight and get fit. Over that time, we can tell you with certainty that every client or customer has had too few fruits and vegetables in their daily diet.  Add to this the unhealthy foods that most were consuming on a daily basis, and you've got a recipe for being overweight and unhealthy. Now, look at what Juice Plus+ is and how it's made - 7 fruits and 8 vegetables are juiced and dried at a low enough temperature to maintain the vitality of the nutrients, then that mix is put into a capsule along with a couple of grains and enzymes.  You can see that the nutrients provided in Juice Plus+ just may provide some benefit to a diet that is lacking in fruits and vegetables.  It is not everything. It is not a cure. It is not going to heal anything.  Your body does need good nutrition for proper health and function, and Juice Plus+ may just be a product that can support that health.  You'll know when you give it a try and be sure to eliminate things that are harmful in your diet.

Some people can smoke for 50 years and not get cancer. Others maybe 5 years. Why is that? We're all made differently, respond differntly to different things, have predispositions to certain things. Therefore, you can't know exactly what one drug, soft drink, animal cracker is going to do for you or to you, nor can you know exactly how one vegetable, fruit, or celery stick is going to change your health.

The point is that you should look at 3 factors when making a decision to get something for your health:

1. Is the purpose to support my good health;
2. Are the ingredients things that I would consume;
3. Are other people using it, and for how long.

If you see someone with promise and potential to help you and your health, look a little further into who and what support is behind that product. As with many things in life, you have to take a chance and experience the product for yourself. That way you can provide your own testimonial. And whether it's good or bad, you can provide a sound and reasonable response about your experience. One that will have others listening to what you say instead of who you are.

The Health & Wellness Institute has seen thousands of users of Juice Plus+, and all it's employees consume it each day too. And no, not every single one of them has been positive, but we can say that over 95% of those customers we have spoken with have good and positive feedback about Juice Plus+.  While this is good, we still continue to be sure that it remains this high or better. And the only way we can do that is to hear from people like you who make the decision to try Juice Plus+.

If you have any questions, you may contact a representative at The Health & Wellness Institute at 1-800-908-3001.

3 changes that would cut US Morbid Obesity rates in half in one year and save billions of dollars

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 -- Adult obesity rates increased in 37 states in the past year, according to the fifth annual report released Tuesday by the Trust for America's Health (TFAH).  Adult obesity rates rose for a second consecutive year in 24 states and for a third consecutive year in 19 states. No state saw a decrease, says the report.

Though many promising policies have emerged to promote physical activity and good nutrition in communities, the report concludes that they are not being adopted or implemented at levels needed to turn around this health crisis.

More than 25 percent of adults are obese in 28 states, which is an increase from 19 states last year. More than 20 percent of adults are obese in every state except Colorado. On the contrary, in 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. In 1980, the national average of obese adults was 15 percent.

Now, an estimated two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese, and an estimated 23 million children are either overweight or obese.

The report finds that rates of type 2 diabetes, a disease typically associated with obesity, grew in 26 states last year. Four states now have diabetes rates that are above 10 percent, and all 10 states with the highest rates of diabetes and hypertension are in the South. The report also found a relationship between poverty and obesity levels. Seven of the 10 states with the highest obesity rates are also in the top 10 for highest poverty rates.

"America's future depends on the health of our country. The obesity epidemic is lowering our productivity and dramatically increasing our health care costs. Our analysis shows that we're not treating the obesity epidemic with the urgency it deserves," said Jeff Levi, executive director of TFAH.

"Even though communities have started taking action, considering the scope of the problem, the country's response has been severely limited. For significant change to happen, combating obesity must become a national priority," said Levi.

___________

"Combating obesity must become a national priority." I couldn't agree more with Mr. Levi.

But how to best combat it is as huge of a national debate as abortion, the coming election, tax increases...heck, we spend so much time debating the issues that their is little time or money left to actually solve the problems we face.

Here's the truth, whether Americans want to face it or not. We eat too much fast food, restaurant food and over processed "convenience foods", we drink too many soft drinks, juice drinks and "sports"/"energy" drinks that are loaded with high fructose corn syrup (even the seemingly healthy product "Vitamin Water" is loaded with the crap!) and we sit on our widening rear ends hours on end, pardon the pun, doing NONE or not enough physical activity. The average person watches more TV in a day than the exercise.

The reason we are in this Obesity Pandemic mess is easy to to see and simple to fix; but that would mean giving up our comfortable "American" lifestyles; actually having to cook and prepare healthful meals at home:

• rather than popping open a box of cereal for themselves and/or little Billy before work/school and sending him off to learn fueled with sugar in his engine--we would get up 20 minutes early and make a healthy breakfast of whole grain pancakes w/ fresh fruit in them, egg white omelets with ONE yolk and a lot of fresh vegetables.
• rather than relying on budget strapped schools to feed your child, save their money for books and teachers salaries and pack their child's lunch! Make a healthful sandwich on whole grain bread, put tomato and lettuce on it. Pack a piece of fruit, a few healthy homemade cookies and a bottle of water. Pack yourself the same lunch and spend your lunch hour at your desk improving your productivity and increasing your income rather than trolling the food court at a nearby mall looking for the tastiest junk to shove in your mouth.
• take a baseball bat to every soda machine that offers anything other than water. Ok, that's extreme, but it certainly would speed up the soft drink industry and Bill Clinton's lame "self-impossed" timeline of getting rid of high-fructose laced beverages by 2010--honestly, what the hell is taking them so long? Just refill it with a healthier option the next time it is empty, or machines that need replacement because too many frustrated people who care about the health of ourselves and our kids took bats to the machines!?!
• Turn the television OFF and get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day! You, and little Billy!

We are not an Obese society because not enough people 'have called Jenny yet', we are an Obese society because McDonalds and Coca-Cola sell more food to us than anyone else and simply put, their products suck when it comes to wanting to end the Obesity crisis. Cut those two things out; fast food and soft drinks for ONE YEAR and I am willing to bet everything that I have that Obesity rates would be cut in 1/2.

Come on America, are you willing to prove me wrong? NO fast food and NO soft drinks for ONE YEAR; let's just see what it does for our bottom line.

I can almost see the headlines now:

Master Motivator Julia Havey offers a challenge to American's that would cut Obesity rates in half in one year's time. The plan called for total and complete abstainence from fast food and soft drinks for one year. America took the call to action and followed the simple plan and cut goverment spending on Obesity related causes by $30 BILLION dollars, consumer spending increased because people earned more money due to increased productivity, which was due to their decreased weight and needed new, smaller sized clothing for themselves and their children. Sporting goods sales doubled. And McDonalds and Coca-Cola are out of the junk food business; Coca-Cola's Dansani water line, is the best selling beverage in the world and McDonald's sells grilled chicken salads with healthy low fat dressings, apple dippers WITHOUT the option of caramel to dip it in (that negates any health value they may have!) to millions a day and have revamped their image from enablers of obesity to champions of health!--and then, I woke up!

A TV Diet of Death, You'll Overeat; Focus on Living, You'll Be Fit

The emotions that go with contemplating your own mortality are such that the stimulus to eat kicks in, while if you focus on the joys of life, you just might be more inclined to go do something to enjoy it. If you watch TV and the images show someone dying, or death-related, then the emotions you feel could bring you to want to eat more, according to new research. This may be an eye-opener for those who are trying to not only lose weight, but achieve something greater in their life than just maintaining the status quo --

Juice Plus

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. The dried juice mixture comes from apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! The dried juice for the veggie mix comes from carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato. Even the combination of vegetables like kale really adds to the potentcy. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients...and, the water and sugars are removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Many people are looking at grapefruit juice as an option - there even was a diet with the same name. But get what some say is a juice powder - that is, what's left when the sugar and water are removed through a drying process, then you have only healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? , that is a healthy product that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough. So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to my diet plan, weight loss plan, diet.

The latest research in the Journal of Consumer Research from ASU marketing professor Naomi Mandel shows that people who are exposed to death-related images and ponder their own mortality tend to overeat.

Mandel and Dirk Smeesters, a professor from the Netherlands, worked together to conduct several experiments in the United States and in Europe. They asked people to write an essay about their feelings toward their own deaths. Participants then checked off items they wanted to buy from a grocery list.

The researchers found that those who wrote about their deaths wanted to consume or spend more than those in a control group who wrote about undergoing a medical procedure.

“People who thought about the idea of dying chose to consume more food in general, whether it was healthy or not, to put these thoughts out of their mind,” Mandel says.

Medifast

If you are interested in any meal plan, Medifast is one worth considering. We have started recommending Medifast 5 and 1 plan starting with a small group at a time. The weight loss results have been fantastic. Like our Weight loss plan that is a doctor approved diet plan, this is a healthy choice. A diet and weight loss plan that is endorsed by healthy dieters around the world, you can always lose weight, but are you doing it the healthy way?

Juice Plus Vitamin

With this supplement, many say it is a concentrated fruit juice powder or vegetable powder, referring to the final Juice Plus+ product that is put into a capsule.You can also use Medifast to support your dietplans. Their meals are good for this purpose. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place, well, that is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange and many other fruit juices, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added - that doesn't make sense! Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although if you had a tablespoon of the fruit juice powder, then adding more juice can be a convenient way to get nutrients but more convenient when it's in a capsule. (that may not make sense either!) You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get it. If you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement to look into. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem.

Medifast Diet

If you are interested in any meal plan, Medifast is one worth considering. We have started recommending Medifast 5 and 1 plan starting with a small group at a time. The weight loss results have been fantastic. The Vice Busting Diet Plans couple with Medifast really provides the tools and motivation to reach an optimal weight. Add Juice Plus+ as well and you have stirred up what will put you into a healthy and fit lifestyle. Note: Breville fountain juice plus is not one of the things that is available, but a complete juice plus line can be found at www.jpsupplement.com. There is another common product by Breville -it's a fountain of juice products that have health benefits. If you have a complaint with juice plus, then any distributor for juice nsa plus can help you. Juice noni plus is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus. Every single ingredient juice plus has fiber juice plus and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay juice plus because you can't be sure of the quality. You may use to find inc juice nsa plus for you diet, but don't expect to use a breville fountain. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a Diet Plans, be sure to consider thins, the vineyard, and even the gummy. There is dog juice plus and gummy juice plus, too. Use juice plus for any pregnancy as a perfect alternative to most vitamins on the market. There is a juice plus study, actually many that validate the quality and effectiveness of the nutrition. Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables, then with a cup of vitamins and a tablespoon of apples, you get a healthy Medifast start. Try using the meal plan, and when you go to the Medifast site, you can order 5 weeks at the price of 4. Or, order Medifast al a carte and try a few items before jumping in. We like to use the Oatmeals, Soups, Shakes, Bars, and some of the snacks. When you start with a juice, and then you add another, you get a healthy combination. Juice plus is made with an orange, a lot of orange juice, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added. Also, there are many diet plans out there, but the one that most people agree is the best is a The Vice Busting Diet Plans. If you have used a plan endorsed by doctors such as Dr Oz, then you know the right diet plans are healthy, and if followed will lead to a permanent healthy and fit lifestyle! Follow The Vice BustingDiet Plans, I know I'm going to be healthy, but sometimes we just don't get enough. Use Juicepls for adding more nutrition to your diet plans

The researchers found that an explanation for the overconsumption is cultural standards. In the United States, people tend to overspend on luxury items and overeat to meet a high standard of living. This made participants wonder if they had not lived up to these expectations.

“They started to question whether they have made a significant mark on the universe,” Mandel says. “If they felt they had not lived up to cultural standards, they wanted to escape from awareness by eating.” Read more...

Bottom line: We've discussed this before - the top 3 diet vices being soft drinks, fast foods, and TV. Now there seems to be even more to watching television than we previously thought (as if sitting and doing nothing for hours each day isn't enough) - eating when faced with the thought of dying. While it may be the TV show that delivers these thoughts, the fact remains that sitting and being idle with nothing but the influence of outside thoughts from the TV, is certainly not healthy. Making your own decisions, thinking positive thoughts, and controlling what goes into your brain, are all important pieces to feeling and being productive in life.

We use to call the TV a 'mind zapper' because you could tell when a person watched TV for too long - they just didn't seem like they were connected to reality. And if it means another opportunity to eat, especially while sitting and burning no calories, not to mention thinking negatively, then the conclusion must be to avoid the TV all together. Educational channels, ok. Comedy, ok. Anything else, no. And while you're at it, do some exercise while you're watching. You can have the best of both worlds this way.

Diet and Fitness Advice from a Fit 93 Year Old

Who is 93 years of age and fit that you're going to get fitness and diet advice from? If you guessed Jack Lalanne, you're right. He's been working out and taking his fitness and diet seriously since he was 15. Think that has anything to do with his longevity? Absolutely. How else could a man with his travel schedule, lecturing and teaching throughout the world, keep up? Think of how differently that is from the thousands of people younger than he - even in their 60's - who require living assistance because of their poor health, many of whom are the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. Here's more from as reported on EdmontonSun.com --

No time to work out? Too busy?

Tell that to Jack LaLanne and you're liable to get an earful from the legendary 93-year-old fitness phenom.

"That's a bunch of bull," he says in a recent phone interview from his office in Morro Bay, Calif. "They've got time sitting on their big butt drinking drink after drink and watching television for hours. And they don't have 30 or 40 minutes to take care of the most priceless possession in the whole damn world - your body? They gotta be sick."

NO EXCUSES

Indeed, the tough-talking LaLanne - who's affectionately known as the godfather of fitness - doesn't mince words.

He's heard every excuse in the book and he doesn't buy any of them, especially the one about blaming your parents for bad genetics.

"So many people say, 'I'm fat because my mother was fat,' " he says. "My dad died at 50. Does that mean I have to die at 50? My dad wouldn't listen. I tried to get him to exercise and eat right."

LaLanne - born Sept. 26, 1914 - has been working out since he was 15 years old, long before the days of bosu balls and core training. That's 78 years of pumping iron and he's still going strong.

A pioneer in the fitness industry who counts Arnold Schwarzenegger among his friends, LaLanne says he still works out two hours a day, seven days a week.

Hard to believe, but it's the truth, he insists.

"You know why I never lie? Got a lousy memory," chuckles the former host of a popular TV exercise show that aired from 1951-85. "These politicians better have good memories."

His vigorous training sessions, which typically begin at 6 a.m. in one of two gyms at the California home he shares with his 80-year-old wife Elaine, involve 90 minutes of weights, including classic exercises such as military presses, bench presses, bent-over rows, biceps and triceps curls, and weighted chins and pushups.

"Every workout I do is to muscle failure. It's hard," the San Franciso-born father of three adds, noting he changes his program every 30 days and focuses on different muscle groups each workout.

Juice plus scam

The naysayer that we see on the Internet does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem. If you are interested in any meal plan, Medifast is one worth considering. We have started recommending Medifast 5 and 1 plan starting with a small group at a time.

LaLanne, a fit and feisty 150 pounds at five-foot-seven, tops off his daily workout with 30 minutes of swimming.

When he's travelling while conducting fitness seminars and making personal appearances, he hits the gym and pool in his hotel.

"I feel great," says the man credited with opening the first modern health spa. "Of course, I have a few aches and pains once in awhile. You name me one athlete that trains hard who doesn't have an ache or pain sometimes.

"Life is tough. Dying is easy. Living, you gotta work at it. Living's an athletic event. You gotta work through it. You gotta be tough." Read more...

Bottom line: Jack Lalanne is definitely the example of a healthy lifestyle, the epitome of health and fitness. While you may not think that you can do what he does, you certainly can't unless you take the time to exercise and eat a healthy diet.

Diet and Restaurant Changes Happening

Whether or not a change in diet is necessary for better health or just a factor of the economy, they are happening. Most of these changes are being seen in other parts of the world though. In the US, it seems to be convenience as usual as Americans don't like to cook. This article sums up the problem in the restaurant industry in some parts of the world, while "fast" still rules in the US. From TimesOnline.co.uk --

The restaurant recession is taking down multi-billion-dollar restaurant companies and “mom-n-pop” restaurants alike. In the heart of New York, restaurants are closing down on streets still thronging with tourists. It’s the same across the country.

Between January and July, the percentage of restaurant and bar workers filing unemployment claims in Hillsborough County, Florida, surged 54% higher than during the same period last year, according to The Tampa Tribune. The number of unemployment claims among all industries is up 38%.

The biggest losers are expected to be the “casual dining” chains such as Benni-gan’s and rivals Applebee’s, TGI Fridays and Outback Stea-khouse. Having done a lot of driving – and eating – in America I know whereof I speak, and the trouble with most of these “concepts” is that, apart from the lettering above the door, they are all exactly the same.

Eating in them gives you déjà vu every time. At the moment, they are all mad about “sliders” – mini burg-ers. Before that they were smothering everything in teri-yaki sauce.

Unfortunately it’s not winning them enough business. Their customers are moving on. But not back home: America doesn’t want to cook. Once again the middle ground is being squeezed out, leaving a small set of restaurants at the top end and a huge market for faster and cheaper rivals. read more...

Foods for a Healthy Diet that Don't need to be Organic

While much is said about the better quality of organic fruits and vegetables, a new report suggests that there are certain foods which don't need to be organic in your diet. The issue for most people is not a lack of good health because they are getting fruits and vegetables that lack nutrients. Most people are just not getting anything!  Here's more from Mercola.com --

The Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that advocates for policies that protect global and individual health, produces the Shoppers' Guide to Pesticides in Produce. It is based on the results of nearly 43,000 pesticide tests.

Organic fruits and vegetables are by definition grown without the use of pesticides. But some find the expense of organic foods prohibitive.

Of the 43 different fruit and vegetable categories in the Guide to Pesticides, the following twelve foods had the lowest pesticide load when conventionally grown. Consequently, they are the safest conventionally grown crops to consume:

• Broccoli
• Eggplant
• Cabbage
• Banana
• Kiwi
• Asparagus
• Sweet peas (frozen)
• Mango
• Pineapple
• Sweet corn (frozen)
• Avocado
• Onion

Bottom line: You can worry about your quality of fruits and vegetables after you have given up soft drinks, sugary drinks, fast foods, and sugary foods. The nutrients you may be missing from non-organic to organic is insignificant if you're feeding your body foods that add to the oxidative stress level in your system. That means avoiding the junk.

Diet Legislation that May Require Restaurants Menu Change

We have brought this up before, how restaurants want the freedom to serve the foods and beverages of their choice, but with freedom comes a price. That price is nothing less than responsibility. If you were in charge of feeding the citizens of a country, do you think you would provide hamburgers, fries and soft drinks? Maybe if you just wanted to help them stay alive for a brief time period. If you really wanted to 'feed' a country, you would teach them how to farm and grow orchards and gardens for the benefit of long-term sustenance.

So when restaurants that serve fatty hamburgers, fatty and salty french fries, and high-sugar high-calorie soft drinks, continue to do so with no regard to the long-term effects on the weight and health of the individuals consuming them, then the inevitable will eventually happen. Either a large percentage of people will experience a plethora of health problems and/or the government will step in with new legislation. And let's be honest, these foods are nothing less than addictive. The indirect costs to society probably can't be measured, but must be in the hundreds of Billions of dollars.

Well, now it seems as though one city in California, where most health actions begin, is proposing such legislation that may restrict some of the 'unhealthy fare' that is being served. Here's more from MercuryNews.com --

Three San Jose City Council members Thursday proposed a one-year citywide moratorium on new fast-food restaurants, arguing that the prolific eateries are fattening people - especially kids - with unhealthy fare. The proposal is similar to a moratorium the Los Angeles City Council approved last month for south Los Angeles. The San Jose proposal also calls for an indefinite ban on new fast-food restaurants within 1,000 feet of schools.

"Obesity is a huge problem within our society and among children," said Councilwoman Nora Campos, who was joined by councilmen Forrest Williams and Kansen Chu. But skeptics - from hamburger lovers to restaurant lobbyists to the mayor himself - raised doubts about the proposal.

The California Restaurant Association, which represents 22,000 of the state's 90,000 restaurants and opposed the Los Angeles moratorium, called such restrictions unfair. The industry has also been on the defensive about eliminating trans fats and adding calorie counts to its menus. read more...

Comments: The top two diet 'vices' that contribute to the obesity epidemic are soft drinks and fast food (in particular, hamburgers and fries). It could be said that if these are eliminated, the average American's weight would drop significantly over the course of 1 year. The argument could also be made that once you remove one unhealthy food, another unhealthy one will take it's place just by human nature. Either way, the fact remains that we are slowly killing the health of all mankind with these unhealthy foods. And the more expensive food items become, the more research into methods to cut costs are taken - loosely translated, even more unhealthy these foods become.

Keep your freedom of choice by choosing healthy foods like fruits and vegetables in greater quantities than you do now. Not only your freedom, but your health depends on it!

Life Extension Starts with Diet, Antioxidants, Calorie Restriction (CR)

What is the maximum estimated potential lifespan for a human? Most authorities and researchers estimate that a human body is capable of living to be 120. Yes, years. That is significantly different than the average life expectancy of around 75 (a little higher for females). What makes it possible to live to be 120?

For starters, you could easily list a few things that may move the average down, for example deaths from car accidents. There are even the more obvious things that take a life too early that may be prevented - i.e. cancers. So what are the basics that can provide an increase in the number of years that most of us are expected to live? The number one element that has been shown to add years to an average life has to do with diet, and specifically reducing the number of calories consuming. This is referred to as Calorie Restriction (CR). Not just reducing the total number of calories, but reducing intake to those absolutely-essential calories, such as those that come from foods high in antioxidants - namely, plants.

Here's more from an individual who has put much of his life into the subject, not only from the standpoint of research but also personal experience --

Those interested in calorie restriction should read Roy Walford's books listed in the Resources section of this manual. Calorie restriction (CR) is the only method currently proven to slow the aging process at its fundamental level. Other current methods may have some minor effects on slowing the basic aging rate, but they are mainly targeted at greatly slowing the manifestations of aging. There is good reason to believe that, by staying alive and healthy using the non-CR methods, one can stay alive long enough to be able to use future non-CR life extension techniques that will stop the underlying processes of aging completely.

When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get it.

To put it another way, only calorie restriction can currently push the maximum lifespan significantly beyond its current limits (about 120 years in humans). It is likely, however, that full application of the current non-CR techniques of life extension can increase the average life expectancy well beyond the (currently-typical) mid-seventies by stretching the healthy middle years by about three decades.

Anyone seriously pursuing a program of life extension or advanced preventive medicine should read at least 80 percent of the books listed in the Recommended Books section at the back of this manual and learn how to use a medical library and to research the National Library of Medicine online. See: National Library of Medicine Search Page

This may seem like a lot of work, but the most common mistake made in this area is to spend large sums of money on nutritional supplements while paying attention to only one or two "experts" in this field. It is important that anyone who plans to spend the remainder of an extended lifespan on a life extension program make sure that the time and money that such an endeavor requires is spent wisely. Self-education and reading about these subjects with a skeptical mind is the only way to do this. No one should entrust their health to any one source of information, not even this manual. This manual is written by a science writer, not a physician. Read more...

Comments: The subject of anti-aging or slowing the aging process is more and more becoming mainstream. We at The Health & Wellness Institute make every effort to motivate others to get on the road to a healthier lifestyle through proper diet and regular exercise, in addition to antioxidant supplementation. This is just the beginning of what may soon be proven methods for reducing sickness, disease, and increasing years to life while adding life to more years. The basic foundation of health and longevity, though, begins with a diet that is complete with plenty of fruits, vegetables, or any other plant-based foods - all of which contain high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants seek out free radicals and render them harmless so they can be excreted out of the body without causing inflammation, which is one general cause of speeding up the aging process. Here's one last comment made on the same site referenced above which I think sums up the subject quite well -

In the case of anti-aging medicine, if you choose to be in the control group (not using any kind of anti-aging medicine), then you can pretty much know what the results will be. Visit any local nursing home for examples of what the future may be like for those in the control group. For those of us in the experimental group in life extension and anti-aging medicine, the future is uncertain; but it is likely to be much more pleasant than what the control group will be experiencing.

Final note: Start taking steps in the direction of better health. It just takes one change at a time, and in one year you will be living fit, healthy, and have a higher likelihood of a long life free of sickness and disease.

The Michelangelo Code Diet? If David were American...

Lately I have been obsessed with Italy and all things Italian. It must be the book I am reading, Eat, Pray, Love--1/3 of the book talks about when the author relocated for four months to Italy and literally ate everything in site and LOVED doing so. She gained 30 pounds and loved every minute of it. She went into detail about the amazing meals; the fresh tomatoes, the eggplant, the breads, the thinly shaved carpaccio, fish and the wines. Apparently Italians LOVE their food, but their rate of Obesity is not anywhere as high as in the United States. Our Obesity rate is over 30% of our citizens are considered "MORBIDLY" obese compared to Italy's of only 8.5%. That is a huge difference statistically. And, I am willing to bet they consume for food than we do--we just consume JUNK! That brings me to an email I recieved today, it showed 2 images of Michelangelo's David; one as the brilliant scuplted carved of the perfect male body (which looks remarkably like my sexy husband!--ah, life is good!)) and another of what David might have looked like if he had been American or lived here for 4 months!

David's vacation to the United States proudly sponsored by:

     

Sponsored by! That was a funny end to the amusing email. BUT the sad reality is we are Obese, over 30% so because of these companies and the products they serve. Even Starbucks can't deny that fact, try as they will to look like a simply coffe company, they aren't selling just a cup of black coffee to many of their customers, nor do they want to. They want you to buy the Caramel Machiattos with 350 calories and enjoy a seemingly innocent cinnamon scone with--and only get a few more hundred calories bringing the total to over 700 calories! I know after giving up my daily machiatto that I lost 10 pounds without changing anything else.

It is equally as funny or ironic that some of these companies are sponsoring the Olympics!

We are in big trouble!

How a Healthy Diet can Reverse Type II Diabetes Symptoms

When it comes to the prevention of sickness and disease, there is no substitute for a healthy diet. But when a condition does strike, often it can be traced back to years of unhealthy foods and lack of proper nutrition. Sounds like a stretch.

Yet, when you consider the importance of antioxidants and vitamins and minerals are to the body, and the source for these only come from that which exists through Mother Nature's goodness, then it's much easier to believe that the body will eventually succumb to the stresses placed on it without any retaliation in the form of good nutrition. Such is the case with what used to be called Adult-Onset Diabetes - a condition named so because it took the years to acquire, the result of poor diet most often. Now it's referred to as Type II Diabetes because teenagers are patients of this condition. This shows just how bad the American diet has become.

Type II Diabetes is the kind that is brought on diet, most of the time barring very few exceptions. With those who are obese in particular, the body just can't keep up with the demands that are placed on it when a large amount of sugar-laden foods are continually consumed. The pancreas is the organ responsible for producing insulin, and over years of stress placed upon the pancreas to do it's job, the response can be very unfavorable. As the body continues to be fed foods that are high in sugar - i.e. soft drinks, sweets like cookies, cakes, candies, and so on - the pancreas becomes overburdened with the task of handling such high amounts of sugar in the bloodstream. Eventually, as the individual becomes overweight and even obese, the stress is too much for the pancreas to handle. This is why a change in diet is necessary to manage and even possibly reverse the symptoms brought on by this type of lifestyle and diet.

While not every individual can just erase what has taken years to acquire, the body is an amazing vehicle and quite forgiving, considering the punishment that so many people put it through via unhealthy lifestyles. Here is a study that shows promise on the effectiveness of shifting to a healthy diet, and how a positive impact is realized for those who are dealing with Type II Diabetes (from dbtechno.com) --

Juice Plus

Juice Plus+ is made by juicing 17 different fruits and vegetables into a vitamin supplement all in a capsule form. The mixture of different sources like and apples and many other fruits are all good. Even the combination of vegetables like kale really adds to the potentcy. When you start with a juice from a fruit or vegetable, and then you add others, you get a healthy mix of nutrients...and, the water and sugars are removed. But when you dry the mix, you are left with the nutrients and that is what goes into a Juice Plus+ Capsule. Many people are looking at grapefruit juice as an option - there even was a diet with the same name. But get what some say is a juice powder - that is, what's left when the sugar and water are removed through a drying process, then you have only healthy nutrients. Do you know the juices from which the fruit juice plus blend is made? Apples, oranges, pineapples, cranberries, peaches, cherries, and papaya juice - and that's just the fruit juices! Add the vegetables with carrots, parsley, beets, kale, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and tomato and you've got the vegetable juice plus product, that is a healthy product that supports your health! It helps you get nutrients you need. When I have fresh fruits and vegetables, I feel good, but I don't always get enough. So the only one way to add more fruits and vegetables is to add more nutrition to my diet plan, weight loss plan, diet.

Medifast

Juice Plus Vitamin

With this supplement, many say it is a concentrated fruit juice powder or vegetable powder, referring to the final Juice Plus+ product that is put into a capsule.You can also use Medifast to support your dietplans. Their meals are good for this purpose. Oprah's Dr. Mehmet Oz knows that a diet is temporary but a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet plan in place, well, that is for good. Even Juice plus+ is made from the juice from an orange and many other fruit juices, that gives it a lot of nutrition when a cup of results and lemon is added - that doesn't make sense! Add fountain water without some breville and juice fountain, although if you had a tablespoon of the fruit juice powder, then adding more juice can be a convenient way to get nutrients but more convenient when it's in a capsule. (that may not make sense either!) You may have read a juice plus review that is similar to acai juice plus. When I can't have those healthy and fresh products, I use juice plus vitamin, and juice nsa plus is a way to get it. If you are a distributor juice plus, then the gummies juice plus is juice plus supplement to look into. The juice plus scam that we see does not hold much credence - just a bitter old man that has nothing better to do with his time, but it is a problem.

There is another common product by Breville -it's a fountain of juice products that have health benefits. If you have a complaint with juice plus, then any distributor for juice nsa plus can help you. Juice noni plus is not something you can find when you try to buy juice plus. Every single ingredient juice plus has fiber juice plus and can be found in the capsules. Don't get ebay juice plus because you can't be sure of the quality. You may use to find inc juice nsa plus for you diet, but don't expect to use a breville fountain. If you look for the capsules or the pills - don't be confused it's not a Diet Plans, be sure to consider thins, the vineyard, and even the gummy. There is dog juice plus and gummy juice plus, too.

Boston (dbTechno) - Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research have reported in a new study that they have found a direct link between weight loss, and long-term success in terms of people being able to control their diabetes. Researchers tracked the weight patterns of over 2,500 patients who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

The idea was to track how much weight they had gained and/or lost during a period of time, and then check how it had an impact on the disease. They found that some of them lost no weight at all, while others were able to drop over 20 pounds a few months after they were diagnosed. read on...

Bottom line: A healthy diet is the best way to not only prevent sickness and disease, but often times reverse the damage caused by an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. While Medifast is one option for a balanced diet, it is not the only route to getting back to good health. Daily exercise and avoiding processed foods and soft drinks is certainly important too. So if you want to give yourself the best chance to stay healthy, choose the foods that will provide the proper nutrients that your body needs, instead of those that just taste good. Plenty of healthy foods taste good, so choose from those.

Add fruit and vegetable nutrients to your diet to boost your antioxidant level, in the form of Juice Plus+

School lunch is largely to blame for overweight and obese kids.

It’s mid-August and you know what that means—Back to School!

Believe it or not, even in the high-fat high-calorie “convenience” food cafeterias, fast food, vending machine world that our schools have become, parents can protect their children from the daily temptations with a little planning. The school may publish a healthy menu, but realistically children often choose to go through an alternative line and purchase more fattening options such as pizza, burgers and fries. Children are bombarded with marketing messages and are vulnerable to choosing foods that may contribute to long-term weight-control struggles. Take the guess work out of it and make health the only option for your child. With proper planning and some creativity, even the busiest parents can help their children make healthier choices.

Medifast Diet

According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, about 35 percent of all American children and adolescents are overweight, an alarming 25 percent increase over 10 years ago. Although the problem is a complex one, obesity puts children at an increased risk of high blood pressure, higher cholesterol and blood lipid (fat) levels, and Type II diabetes (your Grandmother’s generation referred to it as "adult-onset”).

Sad reality is that Obesity is making many health conditions that were once “adult” diseases part of childhood. Tragically, we have 17-year olds who should be thinking about trying out for cheerleading, what to wear to homecoming or what colleges they should apply to being rushed to Emergency Rooms because of a heart attack—at 17!

We have to take action. Dr. David L. Katz recently sounded this alarm: “Continuing on the path that we are on, this generation is not expected to live as long as their parents generation.”

We can’t continue on that path. It just isn’t realistic anymore to send your precious child off to school and assume that they going to be able to provide busing, Physical Education, sports teams, music programs, teacher salaries AND serve a healthy and nutritious lunch given their already thinly stretched budgets.

YOU have to ensure that your child gets healthy meal each and every meal. Think about breakfast, lunch and dinner options as you plan your weekly shopping so that you can have nutritious ingredients handy.

Buy whole grain, fiber dense bread and pack sandwiches with tomato, lettuce, lean meat and low-fat cheese.

Beverages also can be packed with sugar and calories. Sodas and juice drinks add hundreds of calories without providing any nutritional value and many of the juice-type beverages parents buy thinking they are a healthy option contain high amounts of fructose corn syrup and only minimal amounts of fruit juice. Buy the mini-bottles of water and pack it in their lunch bag. Encouraging proper water consumption will help set them up for a life of health.

Hold the chips! A lunch doesn’t have to include Doritos to show you care! I put sliced carrots (they actually sell them cut w/ ridges and looking just like Ruffles potato chips!), mini carrots, sliced pickles, peppers and other veggies in my children’s lunch.

Every lunch we pack the kids always has a fresh piece of fruit in it; bananas, a bunch of grapes, watermelon cut with a melon-baller, we peel the oranges, slice the apples wrapping them in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil to prevent browning and to make it so easy to eat they have no excuse NOT to do so! (Kids are tricky, remember take away any potential unhealthy choice!)

Occasionally I will add a treat such a low-fat pudding or healthier home-made cookies. When ever I bake, I use MoreFiber (www.NuNaturals.com ) and Stevia instead of sugar. I have been doing this for about a year and no one has caught me yet! The cookies are just as sweet and so much better for the kids. Email me at Julia at JuliaHavey dot com if you want my recipe!

Finally, the bus. I most often walked to school or rode my bike when I was a kid—and I still grew up to have a weight problem. Today kids are bussed to school, driven in the minivan with Sponge Bob playing in the back seat. Kids have it pretty easy and pretty sedentary today. Many schools don’t offer P.E. anymore and those that do, it’s not nearly enough to fight the environment of fat we life in. Get your kids signed up for sports teams after school, ballet or gymnastics class, get them a shiny new bike and throw away the motorized scooter. Make a rule that the TV or computer games are limited to 30 minutes a day; no, it won’t kill them. A friend of mine doesn’t have a TV in her home. She is the most productive woman I know, she is a doctor and runs two health related businesses on the side, she literally gets more done in a day than most people do in a week. She is also a mother who has raised 3 brilliant children, all of whom are National Merit Scholars and got full-ride scholarships to the colleges of their choice! And she could afford tuition to any of those schools. NO TV! My son would be very upset with me if I dared ban it totally but it has served us well when we limit it. There is a direct correlation between what we DO and what we become, our bodies included.

Here’s what I have for you:

Get your children on Juice Plus+ Garden and Orchard chewables or capsules, unless they are eating 7-9 servings a day (1/2 cup of raw) fresh fruits and vegetables a day, they need to take Juice Plus+.

What it will do for you and for them, is to ensure that they get more of the nutrients found in the whole foods. We need these nutrients to prevent sickness and disease. Make sure you feeding them more fresh fruits and vegetables, and Juice Plus+.
