EAT MORE FRUIT AND VEGETABLES!!
It's the one recommendation in almost every diet plan, every guide to nutrition, every fitness book. Even organisations such as the Australian Government 2 & 5 vegeman program , the World Health Organisation, the CSIRO all agree.

But as much as it's preached, most people still can't, don't or just won't eat enough fruits and vegetables every day.
That's why there's Juice Plus+® - to bridge the nutritional gap, by providing nutrition from fruit and vegetable juice powders, in a convenient and inexpensive capsule form!
As a spokesperson, daily user and advocate of Juice Plus I personally and very strongly recommend that all my clients use this organic fruit and vegetable vitamin and mineral product which has amazing results in achieving optimum health and wellbeing.
Through it’s potent antioxidant power and bioavailability it keeps me looking and feeling young and also supports my oxygen uptake to help me get though my classes. I don’t really get sick like so many other people I know and its the only REAL “ multi-vitamin” that appears in reputable medical journals confirming it’s way above any thing else on the line up of commercial shelves packed with synthetic crap and said ‘Vitamins” that “may assist” in blah blah… at the end of the day Juice Plus “DOES” the job!
I want the real deal, as I am a “real” human being with real nutritional needs to feed support and protect my human body. Please note this is not a “replacement” for me avoiding eating fruit and vegies but sadly the nutritional quality of our produce these days is so bad that taking Juice Plus daily comforts me in knowing that I AM getting enough wholesome, organic, micronutrients into my body even if I am not always ”eating” the best quality produce. Likewise when I am eating out or shopping at Woollies – the NOT so fresh food people – I know I am covered and in an antioxidant positive state!
Juice Plus, Complete or Gummies – It’s got me covered! I'll let you be the judge!

Vegetables Take Center Stage in Cancer Study
Being told to eat our vegetables is anything but newsworthy advice, but learning which vegetables give us the most protection from which diseases-and understanding why they give us protection-is news that most of us would welcome.
Researchers at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York have completed some pioneering work in this regard in their study of 1,082 women, averaging 63 years in age and being treated as patients at their Institute. Half of the women were diagnosed with endometrial cancer-the seventh most common cancer among women worldwide-and the other half were determined to be free of this cancer. When the diets of these women were analyzed, only the intake of one type of food was consistently associated with significantly lowered risk of endometrial cancer, and that food type was vegetables. Total fruit intake did not show this protective effect.
Starting at 43 servings per month, and moving up to 94 servings per month or greater, total vegetable intake showed a consistent and increasingly protective effect against the occurrence of endometrial cancer. In comparison to 43 servings per month (a little more than one serving per day), 94 or more servings per month (at least 3 servings per day) was about 25% more protective against the risk of endometrial cancer. The researchers also looked specifically at cruciferous vegetables, which did show a protective effect when the intake level was 25 servings per month or more.
An interesting part of this study was the close connection between cancer-protective vegetables and cancer-protective nutrients provided by those vegetables. Even though cruciferous vegetables like broccoli were found to decrease risk of endometrial cancer under some circumstances, only total vegetable intake-including not only cruciferous vegetables but all types of vegetables-was consistently linked to lower risk. The researchers determined that specific nutrients, including vitamin E and beta-carotene, were consistently associated with the lowest risk of endometrial cancer, and that vegetable intake beyond cruciferous vegetables was required to produce the greatest risk-lowering effect.
This study finding makes sense to us. Even though cruciferous vegetables like broccoli can be important sources of vitamin E and beta-carotene, green leafy vegetables like chard and spinach can often provide 2-3 times as much beta-carotene as cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and 3-4 times as much vitamin E. Vegetables like olives can provide even greater concentrations of vitamin E.
The greater prevention observed in this study from vegetable variety versus a single category of vegetables (cruciferous vegetables), together with the significantly greater prevention associated with 1 serving versus 3 servings of vegetables per day, give us a take-away message that might end up applying not only to prevention of endometrial cancer, but to prevention of other chronic disease problems as well. While any fresh vegetable intake is better than no fresh vegetable whatsoever, building vegetable intake up into a range of multiple servings per day appears important in reducing disease risk. So does expanding your vegetable intake beyond a single type of vegetable, no matter how many nutritional benefits are provided by that single type of vegetable.

When it comes to prevention of a disease like endometrial cancer, there's a real different between 1 versus 3 vegetable servings per day. Therefore, a good strategy is to enjoy vegetables throughout the day, not just a dinnertime! And no matter how many health claims you hear for a single type of vegetable (like broccoli), stay focused on vegetable variety. When it comes to disease prevention, no single type of vegetable can do it all, even though many vegetables are nutritionally outstanding in their own right.
