Get the veggies you need with Arden's Garden fresh vegetable juices

We can prevent and treat a variety of diseases and disorders by simply eating the right foods.

The American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health all recommend that we eat more vegetables to help prevent some forms of cancer, particularly gastrointestinal, respiratory tract cancers and colo-rectal cancer.

Carrots, beets, celery are good sources of cancer-fighting nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, beta carotene, folic acid, and fiber. Vitamin C offers special antioxidant protection against nitrates and nitrites often added to foods to enhance color, flavor, and to prevent spoilage. These vegetables also contain phytochemicals - disease-fighting, immune-promoting compounds which render carcinogens harmless.

Spinach and parsley, are rich suppliers of cancer-fighting, immune-promoting compounds, such as sulforaphane, indoles and isothiocyanates.

Sulforaphane is a potent activator of special enzymes which tend to block formation of carcinogens or facilitate their exit from the body.

Indoles enhance the body's detoxification abilities. One in particular, indole-3-carbonol, helps reduce the risk of breast cancer by acting as a precursor to estrogen. Indole-3-carbonol also inhibits chemically-induced tumors in the stomach, mammary glands, and liver and inhibits estrogenic activity - reducing the incidence of mammary tumors.

Carrots contain p-coumaric acid and chlorogenic acid which keep certain carcinogens from binding to the genetic material in cells, where they can cause damage.

Both carrots and spinach contain beta-carotene a highly protective nutrient.

The flavonoids, found in all fruits and vegetables, keep cancer-causing hormones from latching onto cells. Flavonoids and carotenoids act as antioxidants, essentially disabling the carcinogenic potential of specific compounds.

Face it, not everybody likes spinach, celery, parsley and the many other highly nutritious vegetables we should eat. And even if you do, it's time-consuming to shop for and prepare them on a daily basis. Arden's Garden fresh vegetable juices include:

*Beet            *Ginger
*Parsley        *Carrot
*Spinach       *Celery
*Wheatgrass  *Cucumber

Nothing beats fresh whole vegetables; and, even if you love the taste of spinach, who can eat it every single day? Health authorities recommend we eat 5-7 servings a day of fresh fruits and vegetables. Arden's Garden fresh juices were created as a convenient cost-effective way to help you get the veggies you need - EVERY DAY!
