Compromised immune system since birth Poor diet: junk food, meat and potatoes, no green veggies “eat spinach?! you’ve got to be kidding!”
Spinach … who knew? Substances in Spinach protect against: • Cataracts • Macular Degeneration • Osteoporosis • Inflammation • Infections • Anemia • Heart disease • Cancer • Arthritis • Skin problems • Many other diseases • Premature AGING 1929
Health & FitnessSomething changed … London 2:51 12/5/93 Dallas White Rock Marathon finished in 3 hrs. 24 mins.; slow but… • should have run 15 minutes slower (training sub-par) • trained in England during the wettest December ever • did not get sick 1/16/94 Houston Tenneco Marathon • should not have started (6 weeks to recover) • should have ‘bonked’ • finished in 3 hrs. 13 mins. No sickness, Great performance, Great recovery … What changed? Only one thing Juice Plus+
My ‘Nutrition’ … before and after • We burn food for energy (fuel), producing ‘exhaust’: • Dirty fuel dirty exhaust • Clean fuel clean exhaust…
What FUEL are you using?
base price of $1,700,000 Fuel?
Fueling Factors for Performance • Weight, Body Fat %, Calories • Heart Monitor Training • Rest and Tapering • Food Quality • Carbs. and Protein (& fat) • More Small Meals (grazing) • Supplementation • Pre-workout Fuel & Timing • Fuel during Work-out/Race (gels?) • Race Conditions – NO Surprises! • Hydration (water, sports drinks, …) • Avoiding ‘bonking’, no ‘bears’ • Post-workout Repair & Recovery (Fuel)
Fuel for Training • Chris Carmichael, Olympic/elite cyclist, Olympic team cycling coach (1996) • Lance Armstrong’s trainer/coach through his cancer treatment, recovery and since • Chris’s Training Philosophy: “At Carmichael Training Systems we believe that a person’s best performance starts with the fuel they put in their bodies. Whether your goal is weight loss or an Olympic-caliber performance, we can help you eat right to train right.” Eat right to Train … to Recover … to LiveSTRONG!
Peak Athletic Performance • Requires Genetics, Training, Nutrition, Health • Brett Favre/David Beckham have them all • Health = Healthy Cells • blood carries nutrients, fuel, oxygen to organs, muscles, … • blood carries away lactic acid, etc. • Nutrition fromWhole Food (clean fuel) • promotes cell health • fuels the cells (efficiently absorbed) • promotes repair and recovery • Training (‘adaptation’) • breakdown-repair cycle damage from oxidation (‘free radicals’)
Fueling for Repair Time Magazine ranks the 4 Deserts #2 on its list of the world's top endurance competitions. The ‘4 Deserts’ 155 miles in 7 days carrying all gear and food (15+ lbs.) Dave O’Brien 56 “Most athletes fuel for performance. I fuel my body to REPAIR. When you exercise and burn food for fuel you produce oxidative stress. The more we exercise and eat, the more important is our nutrition.”
What is Oxidation What are Free Radicals?
Oxidation (rusting - sparking) • Oxidants (‘free radicals’) are highly charged atoms -> damage every cell in the body • Oxidation starts domino effect, damaging DNA, organs, muscle cells, skin, joints, … • Causes aging/disease: Cancer, CVD, Diabetes, Arthritis, Alzheimers,… + sub-par athletic performance/recovery • Caused by ‘Life’: Metabolism, Digestion, Pollution, Toxins, Chemicals, UV light, Medications, Junk Food, + Exercise ----- ironically! • Contributes to post-exercise inflammation, soreness • Increased by exercise ~10-20 times normal ********* • Oxidation and inflammation are necessary for health and fitness, up to a certain threshold (training effect)
Exercise Induced Oxidation Study 41 Cobras Graz Austria • 28 week study, standardized diet • rigorous training regimen increasing in intensity (-> VO2max80) • measured increases in protein carbonyls – oxidation damage • short-term temporary oxidation allows body to adapt to exercise • permanent oxidation damage occurs beyond a given threshold
What • about • Supplements?
Truth About Supplements “Vitamin supplements might raise risk of early death”The Lancet 2004 “Volunteers given pills containing vitamin E, ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, selenium and zinc were four times more likely to get skin cancer than those who took dummy pills." European Journal of Cancer Prevention, Sept. 2010 “Recent research suggests that a daily multi is a waste of money for most people—and there's growing evidence that some other old standbys may even hurt your health.” Reader’s Digest, April 2010 “Antioxidants prevent health-promoting effects of physical exercise in humans.” Proceeds of National Academy of Sciences2009 “Regular exercise decreases risk for type 2 diabetes. Surprisingly, use of antioxidant supplements (C and E) blunts these beneficial effects, even though diets that are rich in fruits and vegetables lower this risk.” Journal Watch General Medicine 2009
Making an “Anti-oxidant” • Vitamin C • Vitamin E • Beta Carotene • Lycopene Most vitamins are manufactured and artificial
Why not Vitamin Supplements?H2O O HH Fragmented vitamins are lacking something

Whole Foodvs Oxidation • Whole Food Anti-Oxidants • The body produces some anti-oxidants • The rest MUST come from whole food • Experts: “eat 7-13 servings of fresh, (preferably raw) fruits and vegetables every day, • and more for the athlete who trains hard.” • “My experience during 40 years of coaching and working with athletes at all levels shows that most of them simply can't do it.” ~ Jack Medina
7-13 “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” 4-8 yr. old; sedentary older woman ‘active’ young man + + Athletes: +1-2 servings of each for every extra 1000 calories consumed to fuel the ‘anti-oxidant defense system’
US Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 – 2010 7-13 servings of fruits and vegetables daily BUT HOW?!
Expert Opinion “If a Coach or Athlete is interested in peak performance they must start at the cellular level through good nutrition - there is no other way! Successful training can only occur if the cells are strong enough to withstand the stress being put on them. Juice Plus+ is the answer you are looking for.” Jack Medina, M.A. Strength & Conditioning Coach (NFL, NBA, Olympic Gymnasts)
Juice Plus+ … the next best thing Vine-ripened Fruits, Vegetables & Grains, Juiced and Dried, in Capsules and Soft Chewables For those who can’t, don’t or won’t eat 7-13 servings a day

Juice Plus+ Research Journal of the American College of Cardiology “In healthy volunteers, four weeks of daily supplementation with Juice Plus+ blunts the detrimental effect of a high-fat meal on artery vasodilation.” • High fat meals (and intense exercise and emotion) cause reduced blood flow (>40%) • Especially risky for someone who both eats high fat junk food and exercises hard • Juice Plus+ counters this effect insuring optimal cell health and blood circulation So we can all eat at McDonald’s? … NOT!

The ‘4 Deserts’ “The long day in the Gobi Desert took me 26 hours 56 minutes, helping a young 26 year old across the finishing line. Not only did I not have muscle soreness I did not have it the following day either. The Juice PLUS+ Fruit, Vegetable and particularly the Vineyard Blend had a major impact on my cardiovascular wellness, circulation etc. I also used the Juice Plus+ Complete to fuel my body to repair, getting my carbohydrates and proteins in perfect balance; that wonderful slow release of natural sugars from plant life.” 155 miles in 7 days carrying all gear and food (15+ lbs.) Dave O’Brien 56 “Juice Plus+ is so important to me for repair and recovery. As an athlete I create a lot of exercise induced oxidative stress, not good, so having all this raw food in my bloodstream, my antioxidant levels soar and my free radical damage is greatly reduced.”
