Fruits and Veggies, Are You Getting Enough?

Posted on by

Vibrant ProduceProbably not, a recent survey by Statistics Canada says Canadians are eating fewer fruits and vegetables for the first time in a decade.  Only 43% of people aged 12 and older ate fruits and vegetables more than five times a day in 2010.  Canada’s food guide says an Adult Male between the ages of 19-50 should be getting 8-10 servings per day and it’s no secret we don’t get anywhere near that.  Check here for the food guide. This report also talks about stress levels are up from 2008, 18% of the overall population is obese, people with hypertension, and the list goes on with health related horror stats. 

This is exactly why people need to look at supplementation to their regular diet as we are obviously not getting enough.  Whether it’s being to busy or just not getting the quality and substance out of what you are eating, you need to supplement to help make sure you get all the nutrients your body is more than likely missing.  Now I don’t often promote our products on my blog but we have just the right supplement for this staggering stat.  It’s called Nutrilite Concentrated Fruits and Veggies and contains crucial phytonutrients from natural fruits, vegetables and plants enough to equal the amount found in 10+ servings in two tablets.  You cannot even eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables for the amount of these supplements, we’ve tried.

Lastly if you are going to supplement, make sure you know the company your buying from.  Do the practice environmental sustainability?  Do they own their own organic farms? Or do they farm it out to some unknown company where they cannot track what happens to the product?  Do they plant, harvest and make pills on their own farms?  Have they been around for over 75 years and proven themselves as the global leader in vitamins and supplements?

Edmonton Nutrilite Seminar

Posted on by

WOW, what a truly amazing seminar put on by Amway Global and World Wide Dreambuilders.  We had a few guests show up at the seminar and were really impressed by the professionalism and information presented during the seminar.  There were some product stations setup so people could touch and smell the products and see what they are all about.  There were also lots of people there to help answer questions from all the guests that showed up.  The whole event was just really well done and and the gift bags everyone got… wow.  Some great gems in there for sure!

I was blown away with a lot of the information we were given and even as we’ve been building our business we still learnt a lot of good stuff.  Stuff like what are phytonutrients?  To describe, the term "phyto” originates from the Greek word meaning “plant.  Therefore phytonutrient simply means nutrients from the plant.  Phytonutrients are natural components of plants that offer benefits to your health, therefore, fruits and vegetables are rich sources of phytonutrients.  So how do these phytonutrients enhance optimal health? 

  • Fruits and vegetables contain important sources of key nutrients such as potassium, dietary fiber, folic acid and Vitamin A, C, and E.
  • The best phytonutrients come from organic farms.  Plants raised organically have abundant amounts of high-quality phytonutrients.

Here is something fun for you to participate to see if you are actually getting enough Phytonutrients.

Fruits and Veggies

Posted on by

When I was growing up I never liked eating my veggies, I would always try and hide them or give them to my brother.  Now as an Adult I’ve realized the importance of Fruits and Veggies in how it relates to my health.  I’ve not only realized it, but my doctor told me at my latest physical that I need to eat more of them.  And as an adult we are so busy that it’s very hard to get those right amount of servings and even though Lindsay and I try to eat well each day it’s near impossible to get the 8-10 servings we need as directed by the Canada Food Guide.  So because we really are not able to make this requirement daily we’ve decided to supplement so that we can help maintain a constant 8-10 servings each and every single day.  How do we do this?  We do it Jetsons style! With a couple of amazing supplement pills.

Now some people say why should I have to supplement or I don’t supplement.  To that I say if your really honest with yourself, I’ll bet you get your full 8-10 servings and you’re missing out on what your body needs.  Only 32% of adults get three of more vegetables servings a day, and only 28% of adults get two or more fruit servings a day.  How can we help get the right requirements?

Well we have this fabulous product right here:

FruitsVeggies Nutrilite Concentrated Fruits and Vegetables

 In each two tablet serving you’ll get the following nutrient equivalent of:

  • 5 Apples with quercetin
  • 3 Valencia oranges with hesperidin
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries with allagic acid
  • 2 Servings of green tea with EGCG
  • 1 cup raw spinach with lutein
  • 1 tomato with lycopene

All these levels are 100% guaranteed, no added artificial colours, flavors or preservatives.

If you bought the fruits and vegetables listed above, it would cost you over $16 est. a day or over $480 every month.  That’s crazy! 

So for just over $1.60 a day you’ll get the equivalent plant nutrients of over 10 servings of fruits and vegetables with this amazing product.
