The Stress of my Studies...and Juice Plus!

I am currently studying Retail Marketing at the University of Brighton, and I love it. I have honestly had an amazing two years so far and now am in my final year. 

As much as I loved it...I also hated it at times. I would struggle with stress of my work load, not really organising myself efficiently and not getting things done with time to spare. I went from assignment to assignment always worrying about something and never believing in myself that I could do it. Well this year is going to be totally different. 

Juice Plus has already helped me in the last few weeks, and it is only the beginning of term. Being in the final year has a lot of pressure, you have your dissertation to write as well as about 50 million other assignments and commitments that you have to juggle. I currently have all my module assignments, one of which is a PR module where I actually have a live client that I have to be in contact with 24/7, my dissertation to research and start, I am now running my own Juice Plus franchise to help support myself, I am part of the Universities hockey team, I have a flat that needs cleaning and looking after, plus all my friends and family too see. So at the moment I honestly feel all over the place and my brain is a sieve. 

However I made a promise to myself at the beginning of term that I wasn't going to let things get on top of me and I was going to organise myself accordingly and stay positive! 

Well I am in my third week of Uni and already I have had one melt down! It was to do with my dissertation, I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing, how to figure it all out and felt like I had no one to turn too. After a good chat with my boyfriend, a meeting with my tutor and some sitting down and concentrating I am actually in a really good place now. I have my dissertation topic and am comfortable about what I have to do. 

Since starting Juice Plus in the summer I have seen incredible results and not just physical ones but mental results too. Whether it is the Juice Plus or the fact I have learnt the importance of Fruit and Vegetables in our diet, who knows but since understanding what stress can do to the body I also now know how to handle it better. So many people have complimented me on the way I am, people think I am confident and out going, trust me I am not! I hate talking to strangers and I hate putting myself in new situations but the more people comment on it and the more I start to believe it, the more I am pushing myself to do new things. It's an incredible feeling not being held back by your own insecurities. 

I have started to change my view on the way I deal with things and now I feel I am able to keep calm in difficult situations and even if I am feeling over whelmed I just remember that getting stressed and panicking does not achieve anything, it will only make your body ill and cause more damage in the long run. Take a look...
If anything, sit down, make a list and work your way through it, and remember there is always someone out there that can help you what ever the problem, you just need to look for it. Also I do not recommend reaching for the chocolate or crisps...comfort food is not the way forward, again this will only make it worst! Reach for a herbal tea and an apple...

Let Your Food Be Your Medicine

During some research for a friend of mine about the difference between juicing fruit and taking juice plus I discovered something very disturbing and yet interesting. So here goes from the beginning... 
OR            

After a few hours of research there is not much difference between juicing your own fruit and vegetables to the available Juice Plus products and programme. However in order to get enough nutrients in to your body means you must drink the "fresh" juice morning, noon and night. This is a problem in itself. People often start off with great enthusiasm but soon become disheartened and fall off the wagon. This is mainly due to every day issues; travel, time constraints, cost and getting quality products. The last issue is possible the most inconvenient, in order to have this lovely juice morning, noon and night you must pay out a fortune to get the perfect, high quality and fresh produce. In this day and age, prices seem to be going up and up, making it almost impossible for us to get the products which will do us the most good. Instead the government and food corporations have made it so the nation want, crave and need fast, fatty foods. Frozen food is most popular as it is convenient, cheap and easy to make. So that is where Juice Plus steps in, making it much easier to obtain, maintain and get above and beyond the recommend daily allowance of fruit and vegetables. 

"Juice Plus was compared to juicing early on, the study showed it took over a pint of fresh juice made from the same 7 fruits and another pint of juice from the same 8 veggies to get the nutrient equivalent to Juice Plus." (http://www.drmitraray.com/q-a/q-and-a-juice-plus/#juicingdestroy)

However Juice Plus has moved away from this type of research to one that concentrates on the effects  Juice Plus has on the body. 

Juice Plus is made from juicing different fruit and vegetables together. The juice is then dried in an extremely temperature sensitive proprietary process, during which the water is removed. This is so that when you add in water to Juice Plus, you reconstitute real food with active, bio-available nutrients. Bio-available means that it absorbed by the body instantly suggesting you are then benefiting from the huge amounts of nutrition immediately. The same as you would from juice but it is the amount of nutrients that is key. There have been numerous healthy studies that show how the body and various systems, such as immune system, respond to Juice Plus, showing that it can potentially heal or at least improve bodily functions and help fight disease. 

This is where I read something that shocked me. 

In the question and answer section, someone had asked "Will Juice Plus interact with my blood thinner?" Now people take blood thinner for problems such as blood clots, but by eating a whole plant-based diet is the best way to prevent your chances of getting thrombosis and blood clots. The marketed name for this medicine, that doctors will provide you, for such a problem is Warfarin, Jantoven and Waran. Like most pharmaceuticals, it is a synthetic form of courmarin which is naturally found in plants. So now why would you take a synthetic form of something that you can find already in foods that you can eat daily. As well as this, the synthetic courmarin was developed as a way to kill, yes kill, rats and mice. It is still used today for this purpose. The reason why, if on these drugs, you need frequent blood testing is to make sure that the dosage you are taking is within a "safe" limit. How unbelievable is that!! 

After reading this I was absolutely shocked that doctors, people who are here to help us get better, are simply giving us poison instead of educating us on the benefits of healthy eating and changing your lifestyle to suit your bodies needs more efficiently. They are only interested in profit and the pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest. Is it not true they are trying to put a ban on growing heirloom seeds to produce your own food? Soon you will only be able to get genetically modified seeds. 

"Let thy food be thy medicine", you can find that quote in the bible! 

Once you think about it and start to doing some research, it is so obvious that all we need to survive  is provided for us by the planet, and that most of the common illnesses today are down to poor diet, malnutrition and consuming man-made synthetic food. 

Therefore I feel my choice to consume Juice Plus seems so clear to me and makes sense. It's not easy to eat the right foods and give your body the key ingredients it needs to support our busy lives, but Juice Plus allows me to achieve this.  I urge each and everyone of us to find alternative methods to treating illness and diseases because we have the means on this planet to cure ourselves. Obviously I understand that not everything can be cured by eating the right food, but that is because those types of illnesses are man made to keep our population numbers down and more likely need man made medicine to combat it. 
I chose Juice Plus, you may chose something else similar, but if you can't find what your after then please get in contact with me today and I can help you change your life for the better.
