As an active family, we know it is even more important for our nutritional intake to match our activity level.  Every time I watch TV or open a magazine, I read or hear about the importance of fruits and vegetables and that we need to be consuming 9-13 portions a day.  Even with a passion for nutrition, this is difficult for my family to do.  So, we found an easy tool to help us feed our bodies more fruits and vegetables through taking vine-ripened fruits and vegetables in a capsule, through a product called Juice Plus.  I simply want to share this with families who struggle with their kids not eating enough fruits and vegetables in their diets and athletes who can truly benefit from adding this whole food nutrition to their diets.

What I’ve learned the past five years is how powerful our diet is to maintaining our health, preventing disease and improving athletic performance. I’m part of a wellness group in Kansas City who offers free health education on the topic of nutrition. If you are interested in attending any of our health education events, please feel free to contact me or sign up to receive my e-mail updates with health articles, tips and invitations.
