Over 200 studies showed that people who eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily have only half as many digestive and respiratory cancers as those who consume fewer than 2 servings a day. Many other studies have confirmed that a diet high in fruits and vegetables reduces the risks of obesity, heart disease, stroke and diabetes, as well as many forms of cancer.

Are these 5 servings from a wide variety of fresh or lightly cooked fruits and vegetables of all the different colors? We must remember, many authorities are concerned that our mass produced foods, even the fresh ones, while thankfully abundant, are nonetheless nutrient poor because of modern agri-business practices. Even 5 servings a day is conservative. Most alternative health practitioners would argue around 8-10 servings is more optimal.

Breast milk alone is sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months after birth. For these very young infants, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states that water, juice, and other foods are generally unnecessary. Even when babies enjoy discovering new tastes and textures, solid foods should not replace breastfeeding, but merely complement breast milk as the infant’s main source of nutrients throughout the first year.

Benefits of Juicing Vegetables & FruitsSome elderly people have difficulty chewing raw food and can therefore truly reap the benefits of juicing vegetables and fruits.

Did we have a little healthy oil/fat daily? (unsaturated, mono/poly unsaturated fats?) (excluding supplements)

The minimum number of servings per day is 5. Fruits and vegetables are low in fat and calories, but high in nutrition. The more fruits and vegetables you eat, the more nutrition you get and it helps to crowd out other high fat high calorie foods.

No, all perishable food is rinsed in purified water in which we add chlorine drops (tasteless) to assure all water is safe.

well as decreasing the risk of cancer, a diet rich with fruits and vegetables and low in fats, particularly saturated fats, may also help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.

How is it possible that a Creator, so full of love, created a world and a nature where animals can live only by killing other animals that have to endure terrible pain and suffering ? Nobody can give me a satisfactory answer. If men kill each other, it is sin; they need not. But, animals cannot live without killing the other animals for food. What do you say ? We are anxious for your opinion.

Not really. To obtain the full spectrum of health-promoting phytochemicals (plant nutrient-chemicals), you must consume the foods. Further, nutrients in supplements do not always assume the same form as those in foods. Synthetic beta-carotene supplements, for example, contain primarily one form of beta-carotene, all-trans-beta-carotene. Foods also contain significant amounts of the cis forms of beta-carotene, which may be stronger antioxidants than the all-trans form.

Eating more vegetables and fruits has been linked in most studies with a lower risk of lung, oral, esophagus, stomach, and colon cancer. But few studies exist on whether a diet including many vegetables and fruits can reduce the risk of cancer recurrence or improve survival. Some recent studies suggest increasing intake of vegetables may have a helpful effect on recurrence or survival for breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers, but this is not definite.

Research has shown that eating more fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of getting cancer and other chronic diseases.

All fresh, frozen, dried or canned fruits and vegetables are acceptable, as long as they do not have sugars or fats added. A diet with dried, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as one with fresh fruits and vegetables.

This helps your body take full advantage of the nutrients without competing with other foods, and may also take the edge off your hunger so you don't eat as much at meal time.

Hundreds of private and government studies suggest that increased consumption of vegetables may reduce incidence of cancer and heart disease, and lead to fewer health problems across the board. No one doubts this. But since over 90% of us fail to get 3-5 servings of veggies every day, we clearly need an easier way. NATURES GREENZ? Wheat Grass & Barley grass fills this need. NATURES GREENZ? Wheat Grass & Barley grass is nutritionally equivalent to a spinach salad, but much more concentrated.
