Hello friends! So a lot of what we will be focusing on here are fruits and vegetables. They are obviously good for your health no matter what your health history entails. For me eating fruits and vegetables has had an enormous impact on my health. This year I starting taking Juice Plus+ which is dehydrated fruits and vegetables - the powdered result is encapsulated and you take it everyday. The fruits are in one capsule, the veggies are in another. There is a third capsule called the Vineyard Blend which has berries and grains in it. I have been taking all 3 blends for about 9 months and the impact has been remarkable. I should say that this led me to become more aware of my eating - I am now a vegetarian & gluten free. I also avoid packaged and processed foods and GMO's as much as possible.
This combination has helped keep me out of the hospital, ER's and avoid the dreaded ambulance rides to get urgent medical care, all year long. I did not realize the affect until a Doctor pointed out that I had been sans Hospital stay for 7 months and counting and that this was the longest I had gone without such a visit since 2004. I almost fell out of my chair! I am now 9 months Hospital free, and counting. It is not easy. I still have many Lyme symptoms & regular flare ups but I am heading in the right direction and taking back my life.
So I have Chronic Lyme but my nutrition adventure has allowed me to be a functioning lymie. It has also led me to be capable of starting my Juice Plus+ business, starting to get more involved in my community and church congregation, and now to write a daily blog also which is a nice list of successful ventures to have under my belt! I am also about to move out of my folks place - again...
I have had to move in with family numerous times over the years both to tend to my health, and to help me tend to my financial lack of well-being. Being sick is an expensive past time! So I do not take any of this lightly. I am passionate about my career, my future and my health. I want to share as much as possible with others what has worked for me!
So the CDC and the Produce for Better Health Foundation launched a national campaign with the message, "Fruits & Veggies -- More Matters. The new slogan replaces the old "5 a Day" campaign, which dates back to the early '90s. The reason? Under the U.S. government's latest food guidelines, five servings of fruits and vegetables may not be enough. Adults need anywhere from 7-13 cups of produce daily to get all the health benefits of fruits and vegetables -- including possible protection against obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
