Comments: The two most important items in a diet and weight loss plan are fruits and vegetables. Because they are the most under consumed yet most important source of nutrients for supporting good health and preventing sickness and disease, The Health & Wellness Institute recommends adding more to any diet. And because most people will still not adhere to consuming more, HWI also recommends that a product called Juice Plus+ be added. Juice Plus+ provides nutrients from 7 different fruits and 8 different vegetables, plus it comes in a capsule so their is no excuse for not having the time or making the effort to consume it. It's easy and helps support good health. Two fruit capsules and two vegetable capsules are the minumum suggested for an adult, and more if you're heavier or more active. Try it for 4 months to see the difference in your health - http://www.JuicePlusOrder.net
