Juice Fasting Pt 2 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

MORE ON THE AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS OF FASTING

A few days ago, I wrote Part I of this short series on juice fasting and juice feasting. Today I'd like to continue discussing this topic by saying a few more things about FASTING itself.

I believe that and are and with the .

In today's posting, I will continue on this topic of fasting, and I will explain in greater detail WHY FASTING IS THE NUMBER ONE WAY TO REGAIN YOUR HEALTH AND REJUVENATE YOUR BODY

The primary causes of physical health problems and aging are found in the processes of cell metabolism and cell regeneration.

According to Hans Selye, the famous Canadian stress doctor and author of The Stress of Life, "Life, the biological chain that holds our parts together, is only as strong as its weakest vital link." In other words, you are as young or as old as your smallest vital links, which are your CELLS. Yes, it's true: YOU ARE AS YOUNG OR AS OLD AS YOUR CELLS!

AGING takes place when your normal process of cell regeneration and rebuilding slows down, which is caused primarily by the accumulation of waste products in the tissues which interferes with the nourishment of your cells. Each of your cells is a complete living entity with its own metabolism, and each of your cells needs a continuous supply of oxygen and sufficient nutritive substances for nourishment.

Dr. Paavo Airola, world-famous nutritionist and naturopathic doctor, states, "When due to nutritional deficiencies, sluggish metabolism, sedentary life, overeating and consequent poor digestion and assimilation of food, lack of fresh air and sufficient exercise and rest, our cells are deprived of the nourishment they need, they start to degenerate and break down, the normal process of cell replacement and rebuilding slows down and your body starts to grow old, its resistance to diseases will diminish and various ills will start to appear. This may happen at any age. Sluggish metabolism, constipation, and consequent inefficient elimination causes retention and accumulation of toxic wastes in the tissues which interfere with the nourishment of the cells, causing disease and premature aging."

At any specific time, only about half of your CELLS are in the peak of development, vitality, and in good working condition. One fourth are usually in the process of dying and being replaced, while the other fourth are in the process of development and growth. The healthy vital life-processes and youth are only maintained when there is perfect balance in this process of cell break-down and replacement. If the CELLS are breaking down and dying faster than the new cells are being built, then the process of AGING begins to set in. It is very important that the aging and dying cells are decomposed and eliminated from the system in an efficient manner because fast and efficient elimination of dead cells stimulates the building and growth of NEW CELLS.

HERE'S WHERE FASTING COMES IN AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO RESTORE YOUR HEALTH AND REJUVENATE YOUR BODY.

During a FAST, the process of eliminating dying and dead cells is accelerated, and the building of new cells is stimulated and speeded up. According to Dr. Airola, "At the same time the toxic waste products that interfere with the nourishment of the cells are effectively eliminated and the normal metabolic rate and cell oxygenation are restored."

HOW AND WHY FASTING CAN ACCOMPLISH SUCH AMAZING RESULTS

First, after the first three days of a prolonged fast, your body will start to live on its own substance. In other words, when your body is deprived of food, it will burn and digest its own tissues (cells) by the process of "autolysis" or self-digestion. However, your body will not do this indiscriminately. In its God-given wisdom, your body will first decompose and burn those cells and tissues which are diseased, damaged, aging, or dead. When you fast, your body will naturally feed itself first on the most impure and inferior materials, such as dead cells and morbid accumulations, abscesses, tumors, fat deposits, damaged tissues, etc. These dead and inferior cells and tissues are utilized and consumed first, while the vital organs and essential tissues, the glands, the brain, and the nervous system, are spared. It is for this reason that Dr. Buchinger Sr., one of the greatest fasting authorities, refers to fasting as "a burning of rubbish," and a "refuse disposal." In summary, this self-digestion is the hidden secret to the extraordinary effectiveness of fasting as a health-restoring and rejuvenating therapy!

Second, during the process of fasting, not only are the old and diseased cells and tissues decomposed and burned up, but the building of healthy NEW CELLS is stimulated and accelerated. This may seem impossible since no food or only a limited amount of nourishment in the case of a juice fast, is supplied; however, this is a physiological fact. During a fast, the proteins needed for new cell building are resynthesized from the decomposed cells. In this way the body is able to use and re-use the same proteins and other nutrients over and over where they are needed.

Third, during a fast, the cleansing and eliminative capacity of the eliminative organs (the lungs, liver, kidney, and skin) is greatly increased, resulting in the quick expelling of masses of accumulated metabolic toxins and wastes. This is due to the fact that the eliminative organs are relieved from the normal task of digesting food and eliminating wastes, and therefore they can concentrate on cleansing the body's tissues of accumulated toxins and wastes. This process of elimination is evidenced by typical fasting symptoms such as offensive breath, dark urine, skin eruptions, perspiration, continuous and generous discharge from the colon with enema, catarrhal elimination of mucus, etc.

Fourth, during a fast, the digestive, assimilative, and protective organs of the body experience a physiological REST. After fasting, food digestion and nutrient absorption is greatly improved, and sluggishness and further waste retention is prevented. In this whole process of fasting and cleansing, the body's rejuvenated cells are supplied with oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.

Lastly, the process of fasting exerts a normalizing, stabilizing, and rejuvenating effect on all the vital mental, nervous, and physiological functions of the body. Glandular chemistry and hormonal secretions are stimulated, the nervous system is rejuvenated, biochemical and mineral balance in the cells is normalized, and mental powers are improved.

As a final note, I'd like to share the fact that I practice fasting once a week for health reasons, as well as for spiritual reasons. It's a great habit to develop and one that you may consider establishing as you start the upcoming new year. And always remember, fasting and juice fasting are and with the .

Juice Fasting Pt 1 - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast


Today I'd like to start a series of postings on the topic of JUICE FASTING and JUICE FEASTING.

I believe that and are and with the . However, before we talk about juice fasting, I would like to first lay a solid foundation for the whole concept of FASTING.

THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF FASTING

Fasting is the most ancient therapeutic method known to man. Since the begining of time, man has instinctively stopped eating when feeling ill and has fasted from food until his health was restored. Even animals go on a fast when they are not feeling well in order to cure themselves of illness and restore their health.

Throughout the long medical history of man, fasting has been considered one of the most dependable curative and rejuvenative treatments for man's illnesses. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, prescribed it and practiced it, along with other great physicians such as Galen, Paracelsus, and many others. Fasting was called, "the greatest remedy; the physician within," by Paracelsus. Many of the great philosophers of history such as Plato and Socrates practiced fasting as a way to attain mental and physical efficiency. Most of the Eastern philosophers and spiritual leaders have practiced fasting regularly, along with meditation, in order to attain long life, mental efficiency, and spiritual awareness.



Over the past 60 years, medical science has rediscovered the value of fasting. Many scientific studies and clinical test have been done, particularly in Europe, to determine the prophylactic, therapeutic, and rejuvenating properties of fasting. I encourage you to do your own research on these studies. Are Waerland is an example of a great Swedish health pioneer who advocated and practiced fasting. In fact, fasting is a standard initial cleansing method in the world-famous Wearland Healing System. In Germany there are literally hundreds of clinics operated by medical doctors where fasting is now employed on a large scale. For example, at the Buchinger Sanatorium in Bad Pyrmont, fasting is used initially in almost every condition of ill health. Over 80,000 therapeutic fasts were supervised by Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger and his father, both medical doctors, during their 50 years of practice. According to Dr. Werner Zabel, another great fasting specialist in Germany, "Together with fever and optimal nutrition, fasting is man's oldest and best healing method."

THE REJUVENATING BENEFITS OF FASTING

The therapeutic effect of fasting has been well documented by clinical experience both in Europe and the United States. According to Dr. Adolph Mayer, "Fasting is the most efficient means of correcting any illness." In the words of Dr. Otto H.F. Buchinger, Jr., M.D., fasting is indeed a "Royal road to healing."

Throughout history and today, fasting has been used not only for the therapeutic purpose of healing illness, but also for its obvious revitalizing and rejuvenating effect. People across the globe fast regularly not to cure any particular illness, but because they consider fasting to be an effective way to cleanse the body from accumulated wastes and toxins, to increase physical stamina and the resistance against illnesses, and to revitalize and rejuvenate the functions of all their vital organs. In Sweden, fasting has almost become a new national sport.

Contrary to what most people may think, fasting doesn't cause people to feel depleted and weakened. In fact, the opposite is true. After fasting, you will actually feel stronger and revitalized, your health will be significantly improved, and your physical and mental working capacity will be greatly increased. You will not only feel a new sense of energy and vitality, but you will also have a tendancy to look younger. This is not only because of pounds you will lose, but mostly because fasting has such a dramatic rejuvenating effect on the functions of all your vital organs, including the functions of your endocrine glands, which are responsible for how young or old you look and feel.

Okay, I'd better stop here for now.

In my next posting, I will continue on this topic of fasting and juice fasting, and I will explain in greater detail WHY FASTING IS THE NUMBER ONE HEALER AND REJUVENATOR.

As a final note, I'd like to share the fact that I practice fasting once a week for health reasons, as well as for spiritual reasons. It's a great habit to develop and one that you may consider establishing as you start the upcoming new year. And always remember, fasting and juice fasting are and with the .

Juice Feasting & Juice Fasting - Keys to Good Nutrition and to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

I would like to introduce you to

JUICE FASTING

and

JUICE FEASTING

One of my favorite nutrition specialists and writers was a man named Paavo Airola.

He traveled all over the world searching for the and to . One of those keys was what he called "JUICE FASTING."

The whole idea of is for a person to go on a juice fast instead of a water fast. By drinking freshly made live whole food juice made from organic fruits, berries, greens, and vegetables, a person is able to get an incredible amount of nutrition while at the same time fasting from all other foods. In this way, the person's digestive tract, colon, and other significant organs and systems get to rest for an extended amount of time, and they have the chance to purge themselves of all toxins and heal themselves of all related physical problems.

Juice fasting is being practiced all over the world in various health and wellness clinics with amazing results. I am not permitted to share with you all of the amazing health benefits and testimonies of people who have been freed from all kinds of physical health problems just from simply going on an extended juice fast. However, if you do your own research, you will be able to find a lot of evidence and testimony of the dramatic results people all over the world have experienced from juice fasting.

The second concept that I would like for you to ponder is "JUICE FEASTING".


This is very similar to juice fasting, except that you're not on a fast at all. Instead, you're just concentrating on drinking a lot of your foods rather than eating them. In other words, drinking a lot of your fruits and berries and greens and vegetables instead of eating them is the idea behind . What easier and better way is there than this to be sure that you and your kids are getting your 5-9 fruits and vegetables every day?! Think of it as "feasting" on juice. The good thing about this practice is that you get a lot more raw fruits and vegetables into your system, along with all of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, etc. in their most absorbable and nutrient dense form. Of course, you do still need to eat some raw fruits and vegetables, some seeds, nuts, and sprouted grains, and some organic meat, in order to get the necessary fiber and carbohydrates and proteins that your body needs.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

I will write more on these two topics in the near future, but I thought I'd first give you a little teaser and get you to start pondering these novel ideas.

Our flagship product is called, "The FEAST," so when I say "juice FEASTING," I'm suggesting that you could use our InstaFresh live whole food based super juice to "feast" upon every day as my family and I do.
FOOD TO FEAST ON...
Choosing the healthiest and best whole food based super juice is the first step to proper "juice fasting" and "juice feasting." If you would like more information on Uri International's and/or , click on the following link.

Holiday Eating - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

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.
----------------------------------- End of article

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 and .

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 and to . In addition, drinking every day will help you achieve this primary nutritional goal.

Avoiding Mind-Altering Drugs - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast


Another tragic shooting in America leaves innocents dead and a lot of unanswered questions about violence in public places. I'd like to share with you the following article that looks into some of the reasons that violent shootings are taking place with greater and greater frequency in the U.S.

Omaha Shooter Robert Hawkins Had Been "Treated" for ADHD and Depression

Here's an article by Mike Adams of NewsTarget on the recent mall shooting in Omaha. I wanted to give you the link so that you could go and read the article yourself. It has a lot of insight into what is happening in our country regarding the relationship between mind-altering drugs and violent acts like this shooting.

I personally believe that America is getting so "drugged" by doctors and the drug companies that we are headed for much more of this kind of violence in our schools, malls, college campuses, and other public places, unless something changes in the way that we "treat" our children for ADHD and depression.

Before I sign off for today, I'd like to remind you that what our children need today more than ever is healthy whole food nutrition rather than mind-altering drugs. These modern drugs are dangerous to our children's health, and they are chemically linked to violent acts that are becoming more and more common in our society.

Now is the time for parents everywhere to start choosing health whole food based nutrition for their children instead of drugs. Avoiding mind-altering drugs and replacing them with live whole food nutritional supplements like The Feast or Beyond Berries is one of the and .

More on Super Juices - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri's Feast & Beyond Berries

Today I'd like to follow up my previous posting about with some additional information. I'm going to be comparing 's Beyond Berries supreme fruit and berry blend with some of its competitors on the market today.

MORE PROBLEMS OF LIQUID SUPER JUICES


1. INGREDIENT QUALITY - Liquid berry products typically contain ingredients from a "juice concentrate" or "puree concentrate." Both are created through the use of head and/or vacuum. This denatures and compromises the nutritional integrity of the fruit or berry. In addition, these products may contain as little as 10% of the actual ingredient that the product is being marketed for.

2. EXPENSE - Liquid products are more expensive, particularly when you compare the nutrient content and serving size to Uri's Beyond Berries and the Feast products.


For example, one jar of Beyond Berries powder makes 180 ounces of reconstituted liquid juice, which equals 4-5 jars of any of our competitor's liquid products. The recommended daily serving for Beyond Berries powder is 10 grams mixed in 6 ounces of water. At this serving size, a jar of Beyond Berries powder lasts 30 days and is truly a month's supply.

Most liquid juice products suggest only 1 ounce of their product per day to create a 30-day supply. Did you catch that? Their serving size is ONLY ONE OUNCE!

According to information on the internet, here's how the other super juice products compare.

Monavie, MangoXan, Thai-Go, & Xango only have 24-25 ounces per bottle, all with a suggested serving size of only 1 ounce, providing 24-25 one-ounce servings per bottle.

Berry Young, Himalayan Goji, and Tahitian Noni only have 32-33 ounces per bottle, all with a suggested serving size of only 1 ounce, providing 33 one-ounce servings per bottle.

Now, compare the above numbers with Beyond Berries, which provides 180 ounces of super juice per bottle (300 grams of powder), with a suggested serving size of 6 ounces, providing 30 six-ounce servings per bottle.

In other words,

Beyond Berries supplies SIX to SEVEN TIMES as much juice as its competitors per serving size and per bottle!

Beyond Berries is not only nutritionally superior and more cost effective ounce per ounce, but it supplies an adequate amount of each ingredient and recommends an appropriate suggested serving size to allow you to experience supreme health benefits.

3. PASTEURIZATION - Did you know that 98% of the liquid nutritional juice products on the market today are pasteurized? The pasteurization process uses high heat to kill bacteria and harmful microorganisms that create food-borne illness. While pasteurization appears to be a good thing, in reality it is not. The pasteurization heating process not only kills the bad bacteria, but it substantially alters or deactivates the majority of good, naturally occurring live nutrients that we consume the fruit or berry for in the first place!

Don't be fooled by terms such as "flash pasteurization." Pasteurization is just that - a process that always requires heat at a temperature higher than what the majority of live nutrients and enzymes can withstand. Many companies try to smooth over the pasteurization process by saying that their product has been "fermented," but in the end, after the fermentation process, pasteurization still must occur.

4. PRESERVATIVES - Many liquid super juice products contain preservatives such as sodium benzoate and/or potassium sorbate. Without such preservatives, these liquid juices could grow bacteria, naturaly decompose, and become rancid. While it is true that preservatives help prolong the shelf life of a liquid product, they are also known to cause a myriad of "mysterious" health problems. The FDA considers these preservatives "safe" in small amounts, yet anything more than a "small amount" is considered "unsafe and unhealthy." Because the majority of the processed foods we eat contain these same preservatives, it is not "safe" to say that we are getting "small amounts" when you take into consideration the fact that we are consuming these same preservatives on a daily basis throughout our entire lives.

Another commonly used preservative is Ascorbic Acid. Many companies use ascorbic acid in their liquid juice supplement to artificially and inexpensively increase ORAC values and vitamin C label claims, to preserve the product, and to try and compensate for the loss of nutrients due to pasteurization. This is known as "overdosing." You need to know that ascorbic acid is a synthetic, man-made version of vitamin C, and it is a poor substitute for vitamin C from natural whole food sources.

The addition of artificial preservatives and/or synthetic nutrients defeats the purpose of consuming an "all natural health product" in the first place. Our modern diet is already filled with depleted, over-processed foods. URI International believes that a natural food product should be just that - natural. Beyond Berries and the Feast both contain all natural, non-pasteurized berry and fruit powders from the whole food, without any preservatives or synthetic additives.


I hope that the above information will enlighten you and help you make the wisest and healthiest choice when it comes to buying and consuming a super juice product.

Choosing the healthiest and best whole food based super juice is one of the and .

Choosing a SuperJuice - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Uri Feast

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A SUPER JUICE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT FROM AMONG SO MANY IN THE MARKETPLACE?

There are sooooooo many products and companies out there now selling healthy nutritional products, supplements, and . I'm sure you've heard of many of them such as Xango, Himalayan Goji, MonaVie, Noni-Juice, Juice Plus, Mango-Xan, Thai-Go, etc.

My friend, if you're trying to decide which product is best for you, I'd like to share with you some insight that could help you make the wisest decision.

SEVEN THINGS YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHEN CHOOSING A SUPER JUICE PRODUCT

The biggest nutritional problems I've found with most of these products and companies include the following 7 issues:

1. Most of them are selling a liquid "super juice" that has been pasteurized and treated with preservatives to keep the product from becoming moldy on the shelf. By law, the FDA requires all liquid "juice" products to be pasteurized, which means that the fruit and/or berry juice has been processed by heating it to high temperatures to kill all bacteria. The process of pasteurization not only kills all of the bad bacteria, but it also kills most of the good bacteria and good nutritional compounds found in the juice. The original raw fruit and/or berry (such as mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, noni fruit, acai berry, etc.)certainly has a lot of powerful nutritive compounds in it, including antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients, etc. However, after undergoing the intense heating involved in pasteurization, the value of those fruits and/or berries have been greatly diminished and destroyed.

Now, let me ask you a question. Do you really want to be drinking a liquid super juice product that has been pasteurized with high heat, that has lost most of its nutritional value, and that has added chemical preservatives? I DON't.

2. Most liquid "super juices" sell you their product in a flashy heavy glass bottle that makes it look very appealing, but is very expensive to ship. However, the down side of this is that if you become a distributor for that product, you will end up having to pay a considerable amount on shipping and handling fees because, as everyone knows, glass is very heavy and expensive to ship. Can you imagine ordering a whole case and the exhorbinant cost of shipping? Even if the company doesn't use glass bottles, and instead uses plastic bottles, every one knows that shipping a heavy liquid product is much more expensive than shipping a light powdered product. Question: Do you really want to be buying and shipping heavy liquid products all over the country? Someone's going to be paying for that expensive shipping - either you or your poor customers.

3. Most liquid "super juices" are centered around one dominant super fruit or super berry. For example, whole companies have been built around noni fruit, or goji juice, or mangosteen, or acai berry. Granted, each one of these are truly "super" fruits or berries, but one super fruit/berry can't possibly have all of the 1,000s of nutritive compounds that a person needs in their diet. Yes, it's a great fruit or berry, but it's not enough. It's just one good food element. What about the many others that we need? Some of these companies have realized this point, and they have recently added additional fruits and/or berries to their formulas for this very reason. Now, instead of having just one "super" fruit or berry, they added 3 or 5 or 9 more to give them a more balanced and rounded product. Good for them, but it's still not enough. Question: Would you prefer getting the nutritional health benefits of 15 or 30 fruits and berries, or benefit only from 5 or 9? How important to you is variety and diversity in your super juice?

4. Most liquid "super juices" offer their customers a daily serving size of only 2 fluid ounces. In other words, a bottle of their super juice is a month's supply, and the daily serving size is only 1 fluid ounce. In my opinion, that is a very very tiny serving size that can't possibly have very much nutritional value over the course of a whole day. Question: Wouldn't you prefer having a daily serving size of 6-8 fluid ounces of your super juice? Wouldn't you feel like you were getting more nutrition from 6-8 ounces versus 1 ounce?

5. Most liquid "super juices" have compromised on the quality of their ingredients. As you're doing your research on various products and companies, make sure that they use all natural live whole food ingredients that are certified organic and/or are free of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Also, make sure that they use NO PRESERVATIVES, NO FILLERS, NO EXCIPIENTS, NO ADDITIVES, NO DAIRY, NO GMO (genetically modified foods), NO PASTEURIZATION, and NO IRRADIATION. When it comes to your buying and consuming a super juice product, it's extremely important to make sure that you know what you're getting and where you're getting it from. You need to know what's in it and how it was processed. Ask lots of questions until you uncover the truth and the facts. Question: What's really in the product you're buying and drinking? Do you know all the ingredient and quality facts?

6. Some liquid "super juices" use processed sugars and/or artificial sweeteners that are unhealthy and cause all kinds of health problems. I was shocked to find that one very popular company puts high fructose corn syrup in their children's products. The only sweeteners that should be used in a super juice are raw honey, stevia, agave nectar, and naturally sweet fruit juices. Some of these companies actually put cheap "fillers" in their products in order to save money, resulting in the customer getting an inferior and less healthy product, so beware. Question: Are there artificial sweeteners and fillers in your super juice?

7. Most "super juices" only include fruits and/or berries, with very few if any vegetables and greens. Why is this? I don't know, but I can't see any reason for it. Question: Wouldn't you prefer getting fruits, berries, vegetables, and greens all mixed in your super juice for you and your children's nutritional health if it tasted good?

At this point, I'd like to share with you the facts about URI International's flagship "super juice" products, The Feast and Beyond Berries. These two products are and .


The FEAST- Live Whole Food Based InstaFresh Super Juice

The Feast is the one and only live whole food based InstaFresh juice on the planet that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of:
30 antioxidant rich fruits and berries, 30 powerful greens and vegetables, 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts; 83+ active enzymes and fulvic minerals, and 22 strains of resilient living probiotics.

It has more variety, quality, and quantity of ingredients than any other live whole food supplement with over 70 live fruit, berries, vegetables, and greens. It's 100% natural live whole food nutrition. It is super nutritious and tastes delicious. It has no artificial sweeteners, and is sweetened by a natural mixed berry flavor and stevia.

has been dried using a proprietary low-temperature drying process that never exceeds 99 degrees and turns the fresh live whole foods into a powder in less than 30 seconds. The InstaFresh juice powder is shelf stable without the use of preservatives or pasteurization, and the process does not harm the nutritive value of the whole food. In addition, since it is in a powder form, it is much cheaper to ship the product to customers.

It does NOT contain isolated or synthetic vitamins or minerals. It is NOT pasteurized. It is preservative free. It has no fillers, no excipients, no additives, no dairy, no GMO foods, and has not been irradiated.

All the ingredients are certified organic and/or free of sythetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. They are all 100% vegetarian and naturally alkaline.

The recommended serving size is 6 fluid ounces. Taking 2 scoops provides over 70 nutrient dense live whole foods and the nutritiional equivalent of 8 servings of fresh live whole foods, as well as 1000's of naturally occurring nutritional compounds from live whole foods. Each serving contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidant compounds, amino acids, enzymes, essential fatty acids, fiber, and phytonutrients. The typical ORAC Value (Antioxidant Value) per 2 scoops is 3,980 and per 300 gram jar is 59,700.

BEYOND BERRIES - Live Whole Food Super Juice

Each serving of Beyond Berries contains juice and whole food concentrates from:

Coconut Oil - Keys to Eating Healthy and to Good Nutrition with the Feast

Greetings health conscious friends.

Today I'd like to share an article I found on NewsTarget.com that I think you will benefit from.

"The Great Fat Debate:
Why Virgin Coconut Oil is Best"

It's quite a lengthy in-depth article, so I've included the link for you to click on if you'd like to read it. It is loaded with useful information and research findings on virgin .

Incorporating virgin coconut oil into your diet is another one of the to and to with .

Before I forget, I wanted to let you know that URI International sells an excellent Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil called "Coconut Pure."

Prices are: 18 fluid oz. $18.95, 32 fluid oz. $29.95, and 128 fluid oz. $72.95.

If you'd like to order some of this amazing coconut oil, click on the following link:

Coconut Pure by URI: Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

Below the link I will post a few of the most important points that I believe are worth remembering.

ARTICLE LINK: The Great Fat Debate - Why Virgin Coconut Oil Is Best

Summary of the most important points from the article:

1. Coconut oil is made up of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA’s).

2. MCFA’s actually helps us to lose weight, lower cholesterol, improve diabetic conditions and reduce the risk of heart troubles.

3. One of the most outstanding benefits of consuming MCFA’s is that they do not require the liver to digest and emulsify them. This means instant energy and increased thermogenesis (increased metabolic rate in the body) which leads to more heat production as well as improved circulation.

4. For anyone with impaired fat digestion or a removed gallbladder, coconut oil is the only oil to consume as it is very easily digested.

5. MCFA’s are also known for having antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, so they are beneficial to our immune system.

6. In addition, coconut oil assists people with under-active thyroids by increasing the metabolic rate of the body and creating more energy.

Ray Peat Ph.D., a physiologist who has worked with progesterone and related hormones since 1968, says that the sudden surge of polyunsaturated oils in the food chain post World War II has caused many changes in hormones.

He writes: "Their [polyunsaturated oils] best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Polyunsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of oestrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the ‘protective hormones’ progesterone and pregnenolone, so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything that blocks the thyroid function. It is very interesting to note that high cholesterol is not a sign of eating too much saturated fat. High cholesterol in a lot of the cases is due to an under-active thyroid which affects the liver as well as the many loops and feedback systems within the endocrine system. Stress and the over consumption of carbohydrates/sugars also form high levels of cholesterol."

Remember that good nutrition and eating healthy begin with eating 5-12 servings of fresh organic vegetables and fruits daily, and taking by URI is one of the best ways to get that nutrition in a convenient, lifestlye-friendly, economical way.

Avoiding Luncheon Meats - Keys to Good Nutrition and to Eating Healthy with the Feast


Hi friends,

Today I'd like to share an article compiled by a friend of mine, Merry K., and then share a few of my own comments about it at the end.

--------------------------------------

Is "Lunch Meat" On Your Menu To Be Included In Eating Healthy Nutritious Food?

Many Americans every day enjoy sandwiches for lunch or dinner. Our sandwiches usually include some sort of processed meat product ranging from bologna to roast beef. But here's the latest on those beloved lunch meats.

Hundreds of cancer researchers took part in a five-year project spanning more than 7,000 clinical studies and designed to document the links between diet and cancer. Their conclusion, published in the World Cancer Research Fund's report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective (2007), has rocked the health world with a declaration that all people should immediately stop buying and eating processed meat products and that all processed meat should be avoided for life!

FOR LIFE? Wow, this is really something to take notice of.

Processed meats, the report explains, are simply too dangerous for human consumption. And why? Because they contain chemical additives that are known to greatly increase the risk of various cancers, including colonrectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, pancreatic cancer and many more.

The report, published at this DietAndCancerReport.org website also recommends that consumers:
• Avoid all sugary soft drinks for life.
• Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
• Get lean and fit, without becoming underweight.
• Limit consumption of ALL meats (even fresh meat).
• Breastfeed all infants for their first six months, avoiding infant formula.

The findings of this research group are really nothing new. But it certainly lends credence to what I, and multitudes of others, adhere to in our daily lives and philosophy. The truth is that whole, live foods are what keep YOU whole and live! Without that we are simply toxifying ourselves with slow killers (the chemical additives in our "foods")

What exactly IS the difference between just "meat" and the processed type? Fresh meat usually has only one ingredient: the meat! Fresh meat is refrigerated and has a very short shelf life (just a few days, usually). It's usually packaged in simple wrappers, with no fancy logos or color printing. Processed meat has many ingredients and is usually packaged for long-term shelf life. These products almost always contain sodium nitrite, the cancer-causing chemical additive that meat companies use as a color fixer to turn their meat products a bright red "fresh-looking" color.

Processed meat products include:• Bacon• Sausage• Pepperoni• Beef jerky• Deli slices• Hot dogs• Sandwich meat (including those served at restaurants)• Ham• Meat "gift" products like Christmas sausages• Meat used in canned soups• Meat used in frozen pizza• Meat used in kid's lunch products• Meat used in ravioli, spaghetti or Italian pasta products... and many more meat products.Unless it says "NITRITE FREE" on the front label, you can bet it's made with cancer-causing sodium nitrite! You see, eating healthy nutritious food is more than just limiting your trans fat intake or increasing your daily fiber allowance and filling in the gaps with chemically made vitamin supplements. It is a true shift from darkness to light. So, the next time you want to have a sandwich, try making it VEGGIE. You will enjoy the freshness of it and keep peace of mind knowing that you are not giving yourself known carcinogens to ingest.

{special thanks to http://www.newstarget.com/ and their coverage of this story, whom I've gleaned much knowledge and information from for this post} Merry K.
-------------------------------------------

My commentary:
This article tells it like it really is: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Now, I can hear someone you saying under your breath, "But some of my favorite foods/meats are in that list of meats to avoid. This is just going way too far!"

My friend, if you can't believe this research because it contradicts your tastes and lifestyles, then you are avoiding the truth because it is just too inconvenient for you to live with. You'd rather just eat whatever the hell you want to, and leave the results to God. Right? You're rather live with the lie prefabricated by the food manufacturers and their advertisers than face the hard straight truth of proven research of hundreds of cancer researchers and 7,000 clinical studies.

Well, you do have the right to choose what you believe. However, my friend, you will have to live with the consequences of your beliefs and actions. If you continue to eat this "food" that is not fit for human consumption and is toxic and dangerous to your body's health, then you will have to accept the inevitable life-threatening health problems and illness related to eating this kind of man-made and man-poisoned junk. It's really up to you, but you will bear the responsibility alone for the consequences of the way that you eat. I encourage you; no, I beg you, to reconsider the facts and proven clinical research of thousands of experts, and make the wise decision to give up these C-causing "foods/meats." And remember, drinking the Feast every day and avoiding these kinds of health-destroying luncheon meats are keys to good nutrition and to eating healthy.

Fruits & Vegetables - Keys to Good Nutrition and to Eating Healthy With the Feast

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR 5-12 SERVINGS OF FRESH VEGETABLES AND FRUIT TODAY?

HOW ABOUT YOUR KIDS?


According to current nutritional research, you and I are supposed to be eating 5-12 servings of fresh vegetables and fruit every day to achieve optimal health and to protect our bodies from free radicals and various serious illnesses.

Now, let me ask you: How many people do you know who do this on a daily basis?

I bet that if you took a poll today, you'd find that only about 5 people out of a 100 actually eat 5-12 servings of vegetables and fruit every day. And this "guesstimate" is probably high; it's probably more like 2% of the population.

Why is this the case here in America and the Western world?

I would suggest that there are several reasons. First, we are no longer an agricultural-based society, so we are much removed from the farm and growing crops and having our own gardens and fruit trees. This means that we are almost entirely dependent upon supermarkets to provide us with vegetables and fruits. Here the problem gets more complicated because the vegetables and fruits sold in supermarkets often comes from thousands of miles away and are picked way before they are ripe. In addition, most of the produce is grown with pesticides and herbicides, which means our bodies are getting a toxic overload when we eat this supermarket produce. Furthermore, most supermarkets charge a lot of money for fresh fruit and berries, and even vegetables are getting pricier these days. In other words, it's not cheap to buy plenty of good quality produce.

Secondly, buying,washing, and storing vegetables and fruit is just too time-consuming for many people's fast-paced lifestyles. They may try buying it, but they get tired of having to wash it and prepare it for meals, so a lot of it goes to waste. As a result of this problem, some people resort to eating only frozen or canned vegetables and fruit (which is not healthy), or they just stop eating fruits and vegetables altogether.

The end result is that most people are not eating 5-12 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day...they're not even coming close. On a good day, they may eat 1 or 2 servings, and on their best day, maybe 3 or 4 servings. On an average day, none or maybe 1.

SO... WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO THEIR PROBLEM?
What's the answer to this situation?

Here's what I would recommend to you and your family.

#1 - Make a commitment to start buying and eating fresh produce again. Learn to put up with the inconvenience of it for the sake of your health. Look for produce markets that carry fresh organic vegetables and fruit, and do your shopping there and not at your local supermarket.

#2 - Start taking the Feast every day, both you and your family. The Feast is a live whole food based InstaFresh juice powder that you simply add to water, mix, and drink. It's made by URI International, and it's loaded with the most nutritionally powerful greens and vegetables, fruits and berries, on the earth.

Why should you be taking this ?

Simply because it's a way for you and your family to fill in the nutritional gaps in your diet and to help you get the 5-12 servings of into your body every day. It's like having the whole produce aisle in a glass that you can drink in 20 seconds. It's convenient, lifestyle friendly, and extremely nutritious. In addition, it actually tastes great; your kids will love it too!

What's in the Feast?

The Feast is the one and only live whole food supplement on the planet that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of:

* 30 antioxidant rich fruits and berries * 30 powerful greens and vegetables * 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts * 83+ active enzymes and fulvic minerals * 22 strains of resilient living probiotics

In conclusion, let me ask you again: HAVE YOU HAD YOUR 5-12 SERVINGS OF FRESH VEGETABLES AND FRUITS TODAY?

I have, and I drink them every day in the form of the Feast, and you can too.

For more information on the Feast, call and listen to this pre-recorded audio overview of the Feast by Uri LeBaron: 1-732-463-6339

Or click here for more information: The Feast by URI

Taking daily is one of the to and tips to . Once you start taking it, your body will be getting the nutrition that it currently lacks, and you'll feel the difference. I personally feel much more energetic, I feel full for a long time and have fewer junk food cravings, and I feel much more alive putting live whole food into my body.

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 "
," 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. If you'd like information about made by Uri International and what's in it, go to: http://www.LiveSuperJuice.com OR click here: The FEAST by Uri International

Well, my friends, there you have it: 6 wisdom keys for the holidays. I trust that these six
and to will help you avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy eating and encourage you to watch what you eat during this holiday season. Remember, and will lead you down the road to health, vitality, and longevity.
