WHY DO I TAKE JUICE PLUS? I am extremely skeptical about vitamins, health pills, weight loss pills, etc. It took me about a year after my family had been on them. My mom used to try to hide them in my smoothies and it was a everyday battle for her to get me to take them. After dental surgery I agreed to take them daily just to help prep and heal me quicker after. A week later I was in a bad car accident with whiplash, bruises, sores, cuts, and a sprained and partially torn ankle. I again agreed to take them. I did heal amazingly I will say that. After surgery I had absolutely no extra bleeding, no bruise, and basically to none inflammation. After 3 days and being as stubborn as I am I gave up my crutches. Why? They pissed me off, and I thought hoping would be better. 4 days later I limped into college orientation. So I had quite a bit of a rough week and I soon went back to reluctantly on and off Juice plus. I then by my own choice started taking them more regularly. I am and always have been a picky extremely picky eater. At least with taking Juice plus I didn't actually have to eat the veggies and fruits that I hated. And in my mind even if I ate complete crap I was still getting all the veggies and fruits I needed. I did notice small things here and there but I noticed the most when I did the Shred10. After the first rough days I started to feel energized, better moods, my stomach stopped hurting and feeling bloated 24/7. My social anxiety from senior year at high school till today improved a ton. I didn't have to many bad cravings and I actually wanted to get up in the morning. My initial reasons for Juice plus: -Grow my hair (hasn't grown since grade 9) - Get the fruits and veggies without eating them -Prevent myself from getting sick constantly Those were my first reasons but I did not realize how important, how good they were and the many benefits. And I sure did not think that it would change anything other then getting some decent nutrition. I know this is long but I thought I would share!
