Are You Eating "Dead" Food?

"Life begets life. This simply means that no matter what type of diet you're on, a certain amount of raw fruits, vegetables and berries is necessary! We need the fiber, nutrients and energy from these foods, but as we get older or have a chronic illness, we may have difficulty digesting them. This is the major reason why I developed a product called Juice Plus+®. It helps to support the body's needs for fruits, vegetables and berries for all of us who just don't eat enough of them.

I mentioned the word energy in the first paragraph. Raw foods carry a specific energy or bioforce specific to each food. This is not the metabolic energy derived from food after we digest it. It is the energy pattern based on how the plant manifests its vital force. In easy terms, the vital force in the plant gives its configuration of enzymes, phytonutrients, minerals and other nutrients. The energy pattern is the synergy of all these nutrients combined together and how they manifest within the food. This energy pattern has to be compatible with the human body. Once a food is cooked, the synergy can be lost. Foods can be cooked to excess, losing its energy configuration and be made so foreign to the body that it can't be digested or usable to build into tissues.

There are two fundamental factors to consider about food. First, it has to be digested. Second, the wastes from the food have to be eliminated through the kidneys, bowels, and skin. The farther the food is away from its natural energy structure, the harder it is to digest, assimilate and eliminate its waste residue. All food has a waste residue after digestion and usage by the body. And we wonder why we have kidney and intestinal problems. The eliminative organs can only handle so much. This is why it's important to drink plenty of water and do a 24 hour fast a few times a month--even if it's a juice fast, water fast, or just pick a day and eat one meal".

This information was gleaned from
Dr. Santillo’s book, ProMetabolics

The benefits of eating whole food (or taking Juice Plus+) is that you are getting the nutrition that is still intact utilizing the synergistic action of the nutrients that Dr. Santillo mentions in his book. When we eat food that is cooked, frozen, processed or even take isolated vitamins and minerals, we miss out on this powerful action that takes place among the nutrients whole food (and Juice Plus+) provides us. |
Because the 30+ fruits, vegetables and berries in Juice Plus+ capsules are juiced at harvest, the nutrients can be more easily utilized in our bodies. Consequently, these essentially ‘pre-digested’ nutrients enable our bodies to get great nutrition with minimal work! |
As Dr. Santillo mentioned, In America today we live a fast-paced, on-the-go life style. Eating fresh, raw food is not the norm. Most of the time it seems our diets are full of cooked, processed, or frozen foods. Because of this lifestyle we miss out on getting the enzymes we need to properly digest our foods. Eating Juice Plus+ enables us to get the benefit of enzymes from 30+ whole, raw foods every day! |
These are just three of the many benefits of Juice Plus+ that we sometimes overlook! |

Juice Plus+ products are made from the juice powder concentrates and oils from 48 different
fruits, vegetables and grains. While Juice Plus+ isn’t a substitute for eating fruits and vegetables, our whole food-based products support a healthy diet by offering a much wider variety of
naturally occurring vitamins, along with antioxidants and phytonutrients found in fruits and vegetables. Every Juice Plus+ product is made from quality ingredients grown farm fresh,
providing the natural nutrients your body needs.
