Arden's Garden Fresh Fruit Juices and Smoothies
Highly economical and convenient!
Most people like fruit, but how many of us actually eat
the 5 servings recommended by the U.S. Surgeon General? Only
one in five persons, according to a phone survey published
in The American Journal of Public Health in 1995.
If you don't take the time to prepare and eat fresh fruit,
you can now benefit from the health-promoting nutrient components
fruit provides, with Arden's Garden fresh fruit juices and
smoothies.
At Arden's Garden we have long known about the tremendous
value of phytochemicals found naturally in fruits. Researchers
are just now beginning to understand how special substances
in fruits promote good health and ward off illnesses.
Research conducted by Gladys Block, M.D. at the National
Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD showed a decrease in cancer
was linked to an increase in fresh fruit consumption.. They
specifically noted studies on cancers such as lung, colon,
breast, cervix and esophagus.
The Perfect Package
Fruits are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and beta-carotene
which play a protective role in our health.. They also contain
a whole host of phyto-nutrients that researchers have identified
and are just now learning about. These include dilthiolthiones,
glucosinolates and indoles, terpenes, isothiocyanates, flavonoids,
phenols, protease inhibitors, plant sterols, allium compounds,
and limonene.
These agents have both complementary and overlapping mechanisms
of action, including detoxification, anti-oxidant effects,
anti-cancer agents through dilution and binding of carcinogens
in the digestive tract, alteration of hormone metabolism,
and others..
Oranges, berries, and other citrus fruits are a good source
of vitamin C, but nature does not package a single nutrient
in a particular food. Oranges also contain folic acid, biotin
and other B vitamins, vitamin A, potassium, calcium, phosphorus,
small amounts of vitamin E, selenium and zinc, plus bioflavonoids
(including quercetin and rutin), pectin and other fibers.
All components work together in perfect synergy like only
nature can provide.
Some of the Nutrients:
Carotenoids: These antioxidants, found in abundance in fruits
such as papaya, protect our genetic material from free radical
attack. It also suppresses the gene N-myc that promotes tumor
growth.
Anthocyanidins: Found in many berries and other fruits,
anthocyanidins are believed to be the most potent form of
antioxidants available in nature.
Bioflavonoids: There are over 20,000 different registered
semi-essential, secondary food factors found in citrus, berries,
and various other plants. Research shows that flavonoids keep
cancer-causing hormones from latching onto cells. Flavonoids
are also effective vitamin C potentiators.
Ellagic acid: This acid, found in strawberries and raspberries,
neutralizes carcinogens before they can cause damage.
Fresh fruit is the best source of these important nutrients.
It is often difficult, however, to eat enough of the fruit
we know we should. Arden's Garden fresh juices and smoothies
contain a wide variety of superior whole fruit to provide
what we may be missing every day.
Cancer Risk Can Be Decreased
Over one hundred different scientific studies suggest that
eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene,
antho-cyanidins, etc., is linked to a reduced risk of cancer.
