As a "Recent Breast Cancer Survivor" I have taken on a passion for educating Women on what I have learned in my personal journey fighting this horrific disease!
Always striving to be healthy and staying fit, I thought I was fairly knowledgeable in the Health and Nutrition arena. I am more knowledgeable than most, but found there was even more that I needed to learn. I now know more than I ever wanted to know about "Breast Cancer" and the one year journey it took to fight and survive, I am now armed with power to share and educate others.
Nutrition is key, we all get that, but proper nutrition is so much more important than you think. You have to be informed with the correct information on what proper nutrition is! We all know we are told to eat more fruits and vegetables, but we don't really know the true facts of how, why, how much, what kind, cooked, raw, fresh, frozen, in vitamins, etc.
It is complicated as well as being really simple.
Please go to my favorite Squidoo Lens and read about what I have learned: Benefits of Eating Healthy
Since Chemo I incorporate "Juice Plus+" into my daily diet and it is my Insurance Policy I rely on to ensure my optimum health, and "Kicking Cancer's Butt!" "Juice Plus+" was introduced to me by a Nurse at my Health Club, right before I started Chemo treatment. It helped me to make sure I was not only getting the proper nutrition I needed to survive treatment, but to ensure I was going over and beyond to replenish what chemo was destroying along with the cancer. Especially important due to the fact your appetite is diminished on chemo, and nothing tastes the same, so eating a balanced diet daily just does not happen. With "Juice Plus+" I knew I was doing the best I could to keep and stay healthy.
Go here and empower yourself with information you need to know. Listen to what 20+ Doctors have to say about nutrition and how important it can be to add "Juice Plus+" to your daily diet.

Thank you alysiak for your comment. Thanks for taking your time to view my lens and make a comment.
July 13, 2009 - 7:09pmYes, you are correct, if we all did eat "real food" we wouldn't have the health issues we have today. Really, why do you think cancer and disease if so prevalent.
No matter how well we think we eat today, the produce is lacking more and more in the valuable nutrients they once contained. Our soil today is lacking the nutrients needed, so that's why the FDA keeps raising the # of servings we need to strive for daily. What # used to substain us, no longer does!
Another great reason for "Juice Plus", is they have their own growers, which ensures that their produce is rich, and it is harvested and manufactured in Pharmaceutical grade conditions, even though the FDA does not require it! Something to consider when ingesting products daily and not produced in the US guidelines, and in unknown conditions?

Congratulations on being a survivor!
I firmly believe that, if we all ate "real food" to begin with, and raised our children to do so, we'd not have as many serious health issues as we do today.
Nice Lens. I've seen the supplement, but never tried it. Thanks for sharing.
