National Nutrition Month - Add Juice Plus+® For Fruit-n-Vegetable Nutrients

Posted Mar 05 2009 12:00am

If you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, it is strongly recommended that you add more. And if you won't or can't, then the next best thing you can do is add Juice Plus+® . Learn why eating fruits and vegetables is especially important, and how you can benefit from adding Juice Plus+® to your diet.

March has been designated as National Nutrition Month, which is sponsored annually by the American Dietetic Association. This year's theme is “Eat Right.” The campaign focuses on the importance of making informed food choices that are healthy and cost-effective and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

We should focus on eating right at any age, because it is never too late to take steps to a healthy lifestyle.

The American Dietetic Association suggests these tips to help make healthy changes in your lifestyle:

Make a plan: Adopt a few specific changes, such as adding one piece of fruit to your diet each day. Another idea is to search online for easy one-pot healthy recipes. These changes are not difficult and can make a huge difference for your health and save you money.

Focus on your food: Plan your meals so that you do not make unhealthy decisions based on convenience.

Make calories count: Make meal choices that focus on nutrient rich foods. The majority of your food choices should be packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients.

Be active: The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that all Americans should engage in regular physical activity to improve overall health and to reduce risk of health problems.

Play it safe: Even the right food choices can affect your health if you do not follow food safety rules. Always clean your hands and surfaces in contact with food, keep raw and cooked foods separate, cook foods to a proper temperature, and chill leftovers promptly to avoid illness.

Be aware of special needs: Nutritional needs change depending on your age and overall health. Check with a registered dietitian to determine what your specific nutritional needs are.

Diet and exercise can help reduce the risk of degenerative diseases like heart disease and stroke, diabetes and cancer. Learn why eating fruits and vegetables is especially important, and how you can benefit from adding Juice Plus+® to your diet. Juice Plus+® is the most thoroughly researched nutritional product in history.
