| What is
Fruits of LifeTM?
Fruits of LifeTM is
a revolutionary whole food product designed to assist the body
in attaining vibrant health and reverse the aging process at
the cellular level. Fruits of LifeTM provides
over 21 certified organic nutrients and beneficial probiotics.
These specially selected foods, rich in antioxidant and immune-enhancing
properties, are blended in a base of alkalizing minerals from
hormone-free goat's milk. For thousands of years, our ancestors
regularly ate foods rich in the nutrients necessary to prolong
and preserve life. In today's fast paced society it is difficult,
if not impossible, to obtain the quality and concentrations
of nutrients necessary to positively impact our health on a
daily basis. Garden of LifeTM has combined antioxidant
rich fruits and alkaline forming minerals in one complete product.
Fruits of LifeTM may help your body fight
the destructive nature of free radicals and clear the deposits
of acidic wastes at the cellular level.
Why Do We Need Antioxidants?
Antioxidants found in our fruits and vegetables help to fight
and eliminate free radicals in our bodies. Free radicals are
considered a major component in aging and disease progression.
Research has shown that rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue,
and even certain types of cancer are the direct result of free
radical damage in the body. The destruction of healthy cells
may be avoided by simply adding a powerful antioxidant nutrient
combination, such as Fruits of LifeTM, to your daily diet.
Why Is Alkalinity Important?
Alkalinity (or the proper pH) is important because, like body
temperature, there is an "optimal" range in which the body prefers
to create healthy reactions. Fruits of LifeTM can help ensure that "preferred
pH range" is maintained. The more frequently that preferred
pH range is disturbed, the greater the chance of disease. According
to Japanese research, the following diseases are associated
with over acidity in the body: cancer, arteriosclerosis, high
blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, kidney disease, chronic
fatigue, psoriasis, hives, eczema, osteoporosis, constipation,
heartburn, asthma, hay fever, allergies, headaches, neuralgia,
indigestion, nausea, obesity, tooth and gum diseases, and leg
cramps.
What Is In Fruits of LifeTM?
Fruits of LifeTM contains
certified organic fruit extracts with high scores in the ORAC
(Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capability) analysis performed at
Tufts University in Boston. Foods that score high
on this extensive test have been shown to significantly protect
cells and their components from oxidative damage and may even
slow the processes associated with aging in both body and brain
function. "If these findings are borne out in further research,
young and middle-aged people may be able to reduce aging-related
diseases - including senility -simply by adding high-ORAC foods
to their diets," said ARS administrator Floyd P. Horn. Chief
of the neuroscience laboratory, James Joseph, PhD. says, "high
ORAC foods have been found to raise the antioxidant power of
human blood 10 - 25% and prevent loss of long-term memory and
learning ability."
Antioxidant Fruit Blend
Blueberry: Recent
studies have shown that blueberries contain powerful antioxidants
which may retard the effects of aging and play a significant
role in preventing cancer. James Joseph, PhD. chief of the neuroscience
laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, says, "The blueberry has
emerged as a very powerful food in the aging battle. Given the
possibility that blueberries may reverse short-term memory loss
and forestall other affects of aging, their potential may be
very great."
Strawberry: A great source
of natural vitamin C and a rich source of phytochemicals such
as quercetin and ellagic acid. It also contains anthocyanin,
a plant chemical that helps protect against heart disease.
Raspberry: A rich source of
ellagic acid, vitamin C, and fiber. Blackberry: A concentrated
source of anthocyanins and other phytochemicals.
Raisin: Raisins (dried grapes),
contain more than a dozen known antioxidants, as well as resveratrol,
a phytonutrient shown to have cancer-prevention effects. Raisins
are a rich source of polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, which
are recommended in prevention and treatment protocols for cardiovascular
disease, cancer, inflammatory conditions, asthma, diabetes,
liver disease, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Prune: New studies
show that, in addition to being a good source of fiber, prunes
may also help slow the aging process in both the body and brain.
Mineral MatrixTM: Garden of LifeTM has created this unique
blend of alkalizing minerals, enzymes, and probiotics from goat's
milk. Mineral MatrixTM feeds the beneficial flora
in the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in proper digestion and
elimination. It contains a high concentration of organic sodium
and potassium, which produce alkaline reactions at the cellular
level and aid in the reduction of acid.
Flavonoids: Flavonoids are
potent antioxidants that prevent the formation of free radicals.
Flavonoids contain antibacterial and antiviral properties as
well as offer protection to the vast network of capillaries
and blood vessels in the system. The flavonoids present in Fruits
of LifeTM contain properties which
help correct vision problems including night blindness. They
also strengthen and repair broken capillaries, varicose veins,
and cardiac irregularities arising from a decrease in blood
flow and arterial blockage.
Proanthocyanidins: This group
of antioxidants is found in the seeds of grapes or raisins,
and has known immune enhancing effects.
Anthocyanins: Flavonoids
such as anthocyanin, found in blueberries, have a unique chemical
structure, that makes them 3 - 4 times
more potent than vitamin C, according to Ronald L. Prior of
Tufts University. Research indicates that
anthocyanins offered as much protection as vitamin E against
oxidative damage.
Ellagic Acid: Strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries contain the anticancer
compound ellagic acid. It is a naturally occurring plant phenol
with the highest concentrations contained in red raspberries.
According to Dr. Gary D. Stoner, a pathologist at the Medical
College of Ohio, ellagic acid is an antioxidant that helps detoxify
cancer-causing agents in several different ways. Ellagic acid
helps inhibit four different types of cancer causing agents,
including aflatoxin and nitrosamines. Medical findings in Europe further show that ellagic
acid reduces the incidence of birth defects, promotes wound
healing, reduces and reverses chemically induced liver fibrosis,
and is helpful in the fight against heart disease.
Glutathione: Glutathione
is considered to be the most important antioxidant for overall
health. Dairy products, such as the goat's milk contained in
the Fruits of LifeTM Mineral MatrixTM, are potent sources of
glutathione precursors. Glutathione helps regenerate cell tissue
and is the most valuable detoxifying agent in the body. Low
levels of glutathione are associated with early aging and premature
death.
The Poten-ZymeTM Process
The nutrient dense food and Mineral MatrixTM blend in Fruits of LifeTM are pre-digested using
the proprietary Poten-ZymeTM process (Poten-tiation
by Enzym-atic activation). This proprietary process is an exclusive
natural process of lacto-fermentation and enzymatic predigestion,
carefully blended into selected whole foods. The bioavailablity
and absorption of nutrients using this unique process is increased
from 2-5 times. People with sensitive digestive systems can
benefit tremendously from the increased nutrient values the
Poten-ZymeTM process yields. The Poten-ZymeTM process creates and liberates
valuable compounds within the foods including: enzymes, antioxidants,
beta glucans, phytosterols, and many others.
Fruits of LifeTM tastes
great and can be mixed with water, juice, smoothies, cereal,
yogurt, or eaten right out of the bottle. |
