Apples

We have all heard the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away".... but why?

Now to study the next ingredient in Jus, lets take a look at a bit more information about the apple.

Some Apple Facts:
-There are more than 7500 different kinds of apples found in the world.
-China actually produces more apples than any other country!
-Half of the USA's apple crop is turned into applesauce, apple juice, or another apple product.

The history of apples goes as far back as 6500 B.C. In medievel times, physicians were taught that cooked apples could relieve disturbances of the bowels, lungs, and nervous systems. The custom of serving fresh fruit, particularly apples, at the end of each meal was common because of the favorable effects on the digestive system. Apple juice was one of the earliest prescribed anti-depressants.

Apples are indisputably healthy for us. It is not because they are bursting with any one specific vitamin or mineral like many other fruits/vegetables are, though they are high in Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Without a question apples are a great help with controlling blood sugar and reducing cholesterol.

Apples with the peels still on are the most healthy way to eat an apple, because much of the nutrition is found in the skin. On THIS site there are 10 health benefits of
Apples... makes me want to start eating them more!


HERE is a list of some great apple recipes, an easy way to get more apples into your daily nutrition, or grab a bottle of Jus to ensure you are getting the richest amount of nutrition from the apples they place in this tasty drink!

Aloe Vera Juice

The 3rd ingredient found in Jus is Aloe Vera. Turns out that Aloe Vera is good for more than just our skin!

Not only will Aloe Vera help with rebuilding skin, it will also benefit our hair and digestive health, including heartburn, reflux, constipation, gas, and help increase your stamina which is why Aloe Vera is used partially as a weight loss tool.

Aloe Vera can help improve poor health conditions naturally WITHOUT bad side effects related to other pills/medications.

Studies show that Aloe Vera is an excellent source of at least 75 nutrients and more than 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 20 of the 22 necessary amino acids, and 12 vitamins.

One of the main reasons Jus felt Aloe Vera was worthy enough to be included in the list of ingredients is because drinking Aloe Vera Juice has been shown to help regulate the digestive system and reduce internal inflammation.

There are some recipes for Aloe Vera Juice online, but they all seem like it would just be much easier (with the same health benefits) to get your intake of Aloe Vera by simply drinking Jus, or another supplement with Aloe Vera included in it.

Acerola #2- Health Benefits

While the Acerola Cherry is one of the most richest sources of Vitamin C, there are many other reasons people are attracted to this small fruit. Acerola has a carotene content comparable to carrots while also supplying potassium, niacin, magnesium, pahtothenic acid, vitamin B1, and Vitamin B2.

And again, this fruit has its hightest level of nutrients while it is still green, so most of this fruit is harvested at the green stage to capture the highest quality.

Vitamin C is so important for our bodies because it carries a natural antihistamine, antioxidant, and on top of it all, detoxifies. This means that Acerola also helps our bodies fight free radicals, helping us function at our highest health level.

Acerola can be found in many over-the-counter multivitamin products in North America, although the most common use is in a juice form.

Some top reasons for using Acerola:

• Colds/Flu's.
• Skin care/Anti-aging.
• Overall health.
• To help your heart.
• General Illnesses.
