Real Food vs. Junk Food
Food is fuel. What we eat either builds the body up or tears it down.
Junk food does not meet all of the criteria mentioned for “real foods.” It would not be conducive to life, and would actually lead the body to a state of dis-ease. Junk food is found primarily in the inner sections of the grocery store rather than the perimeter, where living foods of fruits, veggies, lean meats, and whole grains are found.
Junk foods are missing some of the ingredients (not the whole package), thus the body must use its own reserve to complete the package and degeneration and disease results.
Junk foods have toxins in them that clog up the works and make the body less efficient. Our bodies have to use their own energy and nutrition to eliminate toxins from the body.
Other names of junk food include processed food, partial food, fragmented food, incomplete food. These refined or processed foods include both table sugar and refined white flour, or anything that includes these items in their ingredients.
Real food is compatible with the body. It does not take away from the body reserves, but adds nutrients to build up health and maintain life. It does not contain anything that is harmful, toxic, or non- usable by the body.
To qualify as a “Real Food” it must meet these three criteria:
- It is something edible–grown by nature–of the plant kingdom
- It can be eaten without processing in any way
- An entire meal of that one food can be eaten and enjoyed, and not be offensive to the taste buds.
Cholesterol, Steve T.
I was determined to find a natural remedy to get and stay healthy. I had high cholesterol, especially high LDL (bad cholesterol) diagnosed in 2006. I'd tried eating healthy, lost 25 pounds, and exercised for two years. My cholesterol only went up.
My doctor said I must have a genetic cholesterol problem, since I had followed a healthy lifestyle and eating habits and it did not work. He prescribed Lipitor. These statins made me very ill, so I threw them away and began trying various home remedies. I tried fish oil, vitamin C, oatmeal. But I had doubts any of this was doing anything.
I made a 12 month commitment to try Juice Plus+, after talking to you for several months at the gym, and researching the products online. After 8 months taking the Orchard - Garden blend twice a day, I went back to the doctor for another routine physical and blood work.
My total cholesterol went from 280 to 208. My bad Cholesterol (LDL) went from 190 to 130. Thank you for introducing me to Juice Plus+.
