Do I need to supplement?

Not everyone eats a wide-variety of raw, vine ripened fruits and veggies every single day. Unfortunately, the quality of food we find at our grocers just isn’t what it used to be and many of us don’t grow our own food year round. If you don’t find yourself eating some of the foods proven to be best for our bodies, you may consider supplementing.

You may also consider supplementing if you are :

• Pregnant

• Frequently ill

• Suffering from food allergies

• Over 50

• Struggling with healthy eating habits

How do I know what to take?

It can be hard to know what to buy and put in your body. There are so many choices and it seems like the minute someone tells you to take a multi-vitamin, research comes out saying vitamins are worthless.

Before you invest your hard-earned money in pills that turn your urine bright yellow but do nothing for your health, consider the following:

• How long has the product been around and what does the research say? If it is the newest fad, it isn’t going my body. If it has been around for some time, there should be research. Research should be backed by credible institutions validating that the product is what it claims to be and how it impacts the body.

• What does your blood work tell you before starting the product? What story does your blood work tell after 4, 8 and 12 months on the product?

• How do you feel?

These three factors are like the three legs of a stool. Without one of them, the stool does not stand. We don’t always make healthy food choices 100% of the time and supplementing can help. In order for your supplements to bridge the gap between what we do eat and what we should eat, they need to be tried and true, telling a story through your blood and positively impacting the way you feel.

Supplements we trust.

The supplement trusted by our family is JuicePlus+. My husband comes from a family of poor heart-health history. We were worried about his DNA being his destiny but didn’t really feel had much control.

In our early 20s, my husband and I were told we needed blood pressure and cholesterol medicine if our blood work didn’t improve. We were told about JuicePlus and decided we had nothing to lose. We also knew that if we ever got on medication for blood pressure and cholesterol, we likely wouldn’t come off. We started taking JuicePlus and our blood work improved.

Since then, we have proudly brought two JuicePlus babies into the world and have been supporting their health with JuicePlus since infancy.
