*Over 90% of kids don't get the right amount of fruits and veggies each day.
*1 in 3 American kids are overweight...triple the amount from 30 years ago AND most of those kids will grow up to be overweight adults.
*1 in 3 kids born in the year 2000 are predicted to develop Type 2 Diabetes.
*By age 12, 70% of kids have the beginning stages of hardening of the arteries.
OUCH!
So what does Juice Plus+ have to do with this? Well, when we get the recommended 7-13 (5-7 for kids) servings of fruits and vegetables in our diets, we are delivering key phytonutrients that are absorbed into our body, supporting a healthy immune system and reducing our risk for disease. The hard part is that it next next to impossible for most people (at least it is for me!) to get the recommended servings each day...and to add to that the variety necessary to provide the maximum benefits. Juice Plus+ is not a replacement for fruits and veggies...it is a whole food nutritional supplement made of 17 fruits and vegetables such as spinach, kale, carrots, apples, and beets, that helps bridge the gap between what we need and what we actually get. I LOVE it!
So now to The Childrens Health Study...an awesome opportunity to get our kids on JP+ for free! All for doing a survey that is documenting the effects of JP+ on the health of families who take it...
Here are some significant results from over 100,000 families in the study who are taking JP+ as part of their nutritional needs...
*51% of kids and 61% of adults report eating more fruits and vegetables.
*81% of kids and 82% of adults are more aware of their health
*92% of kids and 94% of adults see a positive benefit of some kind
I completely agree with these results! I am MUCH more aware of what I am eating as a result of being on JP+. I definitely pay more attention and feel healthier and more energized than I have ever been in my life...the more amazing result for my family is that my daughter Bella (7 years old) is EXTREMELY aware of what is and is not healthy and strives to eat more fruits and vegetables...it really is amazing to me. When deciding what type of dessert to eat, she will choose an oatmeal cookie instead of chocolate cupcake. She asks if things are healthy all of the time...she WANTS to be healthy. Maybe it's because John and I are talking about health and what it means to be healthy, but JP+ is definitely our talking point. It is something that the kids look forward to taking, and they won't miss...even if I forget, they don't!
To be honest, when we first when on the CHS and I saw the stats, I thought...REALLY?! Kids eat more fruits and veggies because they are on JP+?...we'll see! I really believe now that we have been taking JP+ for about a year that we are SO much more aware of our health, and I am so impressed with this company that they offer ours kids the opportunity to take it for free for up to three years! I feel good every day knowing that even if I'm struggling to get my kids to eat all of their veggies (not gonna mention any names, JACK!), I have an insurance policy in JP+!
