FEBRUARY- THE HEART MONTH
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you were able to spend the day with those closest to your heart.
February has long been one of my favorite months. In addition to being Valentine’s Day, it is also the month of most of my loved ones birthday’s… my beautiful daughter Jana, my precious granddaughter Hailee, and also my loving, much missed, mother, Wilma. February is just all about love and matters of the heart – hopefully we can take the loving feelings we have for one another today into tomorrow and the day after that, and into all the days that follow. 
February has also become the poster month for heart disease prevention and awareness. We also now have the “go red for women” movement, since heart disease is now the number one killer of women in our nation, out ranking breast cancer. Much is talked about in the area of cure and little about prevention/education – albeit a little more than with cancer. The American Heart Association has clear guide lines on prevention, problem is, people don’t seem to be paying much attention - including a former President, Bill Clinton. I’m sure you most likely saw on the news that he had another emergency heart surgery a couple of days ago, to place a stint in a clogged artery. When he had his emergency by-pass surgery about 4 or so years back, he proclaimed that he stopped eating fast foods and cleaned up his diet. I thought it rather interesting that his first meal after getting home from this latest surgery was a meat sandwich from a local deli. Obviously, Bill hasn’t gotten the complete message when it comes to diet and heart disease, and neither has most of our nation.
There are hundreds of research studies indicating that a plant based diet rich in fruits and veggies and free of animal protein is the best prevention from heart disease, as well as other degenerative diseases. The Am Cancer Society says get 9-13 servings EACH of fruits and veggies each day – problem is 97% of Americans don’t get this, plus we think French fries and ketchup count as 2 of these.
I will be the first one to admit that getting in all these fruits and veggies each day is no easy task, even for me. So I am sooo very thankful for Juice Plus+ and knowing that on the days I don’t get my 9-13, I have it to fill in the gaps for me. I know those of you taking JP+ probably also feel this way.
I thought this might be a great time for a little refresher on what the medical research done on JP+ has proven to do for cardio vascular health. JP+ has spent the last 14 years completing 27 studies done in 8 countries and 4 continents costing $10,000,000. Several of these were done on cardio vascular health. There are also 12 other studies currently underway.
The most significant study to date, relative to heart disease, is a study that was done at the University of Maryland and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in July 2003. This was a 28 day study where participants were taken to McDonalds and fed a high fat meal and then had their vascular restriction measured. There were 3 groups – a placebo group, a group taking just the JP+ fruits and veggies, and a group taking the fruits and veggies plus the JP+ Vineyard blend. At the end of the 28 days, the group taking just the fruits and veggies showed a 83% reduction, but the group taking fruits and veggies PLUS the VIneyard had a 97% reduction. Wow… I hope you fully understand how significant this is!! As the group that included Vineyard, their vascular restriction was nearly totally eliminated. This is something our traditional medical community can not claim for any pharmaceutical drug or surgery – as is evidenced by Bill Clinton’s recent experience.
If you aren’t familiar with Homocysteine, what it is and what your current level is in your blood stream, I strongly suggest that you do so. It is an amino acid that we require in our bodies, problem is high levels are associated with all health issues and death from most any cause other than an accident. The lower your level is, the less likely you are to have a heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc. Most people in modernized civilizations are walking around with levels around 12.0 – which is dangerously high. Last check mine was at 4.9. 5.0 or better is considered optimum. In 2003 at the University of Sydney in Australia, there was a 28 day study performed that reflected a Homocysteine blood serum level reduction of 37% – this study was Published in the Journal of Nutrition in July 2003. This same study was repeated again in Foggia, Italy and was published in Nutrition Research 2004. I am unaware of ANY attention being placed on lowering Homocysteine by our traditional medical community.
There are many other studies done on JP+ that show it’s positive effect on the Immune System, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and bio-availability, that we can talk about in the future.
If you are one of the millions of American’s that are taking drugs for cardio vascular health – can your doctor provide for you scientific research that shows the same protection that JP+ has shown to produce? Wouldn’t you find it far better to change your eating habits and life style, and to include JP+ in your daily diet to maintain cardio vascular health, rather than deal with the long laundry list of side effects that these drugs cause, some of which are fatal??
If you are currently taking JP+, aren’t you glad to know you are providing your body with this awesome protection!! If you haven’t yet added JP+ Vineyard Blend to your daily preventative health care maintenance program, perhaps now would be a good time to do that…after all, it is “be good to your heart month” If you aren’t currently taking JP+, perhaps you might want to consider starting it. The cost of JP+ fruits and veggies is $1.40 a day – the Vineyard is $.96 – together that is $2.36 a day. Some of us spend more than that a day on a cup of coffee, or drinking sodas, or other unhealthy habits. JP+ is life insurance that pays off while you are living…. and I plan on living another 60 years and I would love to have you join me!!
