Greetings, my friends.
As the holidays approach, I'd like to share an article that one of my friends and business partners wrote recently. The title of this article is: "You Should Try Eating Healthy Nutritious Food with the Uri Feast."
The following article was written by Merry K.
During the holidays we sort of "throw all caution to the wind" when it comes to our food choices. And if we do that for several weeks we typically feel fatter, and more tired, as well as, regretful by the start of the New Year.
If you're waiting to get healthy till after the 1st of the Year, I'm here to tell you that you don't have to wait.
Plus, you can still enjoy the luxury of typically "forbidden" goodies. The key is...putting in at least an equaivalent amount of nutrious food as you do less nutritious food. This will give a sort of counter-acting effect when you know you're going to be splurging on those things.
Do any of us get the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day? Doubtful. And most especially NOT during the holidays! I would consider myself a "health nut". However, I was NEVER able to obtain that goal in my daily routine...either for me or the rest of the family!
In May, we (me, my husband and children) all began taking THE FEAST concentrated juice powder. In one serving we all get the equivalent nutrients of 4 servings of fruits and vegetables. The results?? ...
-Our cravings for unhealthy foods have GREATLY diminished (both us and the children)
-Our sugar intake is decreased by probably 90%-We are not anywhere near as hungry as before, therefore our weight as dropped (My hubby- 15lbs, Myself - 13lbs)
-My bloodsugar is more stable now as a result of eating healthier, because I'm not desiring carbs all the time.
-We are consistently craving raw, fresh vegetables and fruits over anything else-We feel more ALIVE and HEALTHIER than EVER!!
-And because of the results mentioned above, we are now excercising consistently too!
Please note...This is NOT a weight loss product. It's pure and simple. Just live, whole-food based juice. That's it. So, if you want to give yourself a gift this Christmas and/or New Year, why not try eating healthy nutritious food with THE URI FEAST? It will give you such an advantage to overcoming those hurdles we all face during this season.
Samples are available. So there's no valid excuse not to give it a try!! Don't miss this opportunity to make a REAL change to your life and health.
MERRY K.

My commentary:
I agree with what Merry has written above, and I know that she is telling the truth because I have also experienced the same benefits from drinking Uri's nutritional supplements. My wife and kids and I all drink the Feast every morning in the form of a big delicious smoothie. It keeps me feeling energetic and full all morning, and it the help that my family and I need in terms of getting our 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
Instead of throwing all caution to the wind this Christmas season, I encourage you to choose health and choose life. Realizing that the Feast and Beyond Berries are the healthiest and best whole food based super juices on the market today is one of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy.

Happy Chanukah - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast
HAPPY CHANUKAH
For those of you who may not know, Chanukah celebrates the miracle God did when He caused a one day supply of holy oil in the temple to last for eight consecutive days. The name "Chanukah" or "Hanukkah" means "dedication." It was during the time of Judah and his father Mattathias that the holy temple had been desecrated, and the Jews were able to reclaim their temple and rededicate it to God as the "house of God" on earth.
In summary, Chanukah celebrates the day the temple was rededicated to God and the miracle of the oil that God did during those eight days. The miracles, of course, are the small jar of oil that burned for so long and the small group of Maccabees who fought a mighty king and won. Ever since that first Chanukah, Jews just like the Maccabees have fought for the right to pray to God and live as Jews.
Once again, HAPPY CHANUKAH to all the children of Abraham and Israel.
Just a reminder that eating 5-12 fruits and vegetables a day, including during the holidays, is one of the fundamental keys to good nutrition and to eating healthy. In addition, drinking the Feast every day will help you achieve this primary nutritional goal.

Holiday Wisdom - Keys to Good Nutrition and Eating Healthy with the Feast
I would like to encourage you to watch what you eat over the holidays.
Most people eat poorly all year long and suffer the consequences. However, some people, like myself and maybe you, eat nutritious healthy food all year, except when it comes to the year end holidays. Make a point this year to EAT WISELY during the holiday season.
Wisdom Key #1 - Avoid the unhealthy refined processed holiday foods and treats
There's always an abundance of food, many sweets and desserts, and lots of specialty foods such as cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, etc. If you think about it, most of these holiday foods are not good for you. They're made with a lot of sugar, white processed flour, butter, and other non-nutritious ingredients. These are the foods that will contribute to your gaining weight over the holidays, as well make you sluggish and more vulnerable to sickness and long-term illness.
Plain and simple, it's just not worth it. Your health is valuable, and you must take charge of it and protect it, especially during the holiday season.
Wisdom Key #2 - Avoid processed meats and pork products
Recent research findings have proven over and over again that processed meats, which are often abundant at holiday times, are dangerous for your health and contribute to serious long-term illnesses, including the big-"C". To protect your health, you really need to make a commitment to yourself that you're going to avoid all processed meats and pork products such as sausage, bacon, ham, hot dogs, bologna, salami, etc. When these are offered to you, simply say, "No thank you."
Wisdom Key #3 - Don't overeat during the holidays; exercise moderation
This is one of the worst things you can do for your body. Overeating is one of the major causes of ill health in America. When you overeat, you overload your body and its systems in such a way that puts a tremendous stress on your vital organs and cells. THINK M-O-D-E-R-A-T-I-O-N this holiday season. Enjoy the good and healthy food, but eat it with a sense of moderation.
Wisdom Key #4 - Keep exercising during the holidays
This is very important and shouldn't be neglected just because it's the holidays. If you can't stick to your normal routine because you're at a relative's home or because you have a lot of guests, then at the very least be sure to take a 30-60 minute walk every day. This will provide you with good exercise and give you a break from all the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
Wisdom Key #5 - Take some time to relax during the holidays
Now by that I don't mean to sit around and watch TV and football. What I mean is for you to do some relaxing things that you normally don't get to do during normal busy working life. For example, take a long soothing bath by candle light, read a novel, sit with your spouse and listen to Christmas music, take a long afternoon nap, etc. You get the idea.
Wisdom Key #6 - Remember to continue taking your nutritional supplements
Your body needs the added nutrition of a live whole food based supplement, so be sure to continue to take this during the holidays. I personally take "The Feast," which is a live whole food based InstaFresh powder drink mix (loaded with greens, vegetables, fruits, berries, seeds, nuts, and sprouts) that I mix in with other ingredients to create the most delicious and nutritious smoothie ever. I add a few frozen strawberries or blueberries, some fresh cranberries, some Himalayan Krystal saline solution, fresh ground flax seeds, extra virgin coconut oil, some pure barley grass powder, some cayenne pepper, half a fresh lemon, and a lot of purpose when I create one of these smoothie masterpieces.
