**SIMPLE PROGRAM TO BETTER HEALTH & HEALING** (try for 6 weeks)

1. Exercise - 20 to 30 minutes, 3-5 x/wk (more is better) and get your heart rate up. Use intervals

2. No High Fructose Corn Syrup and No Partially Hydrogenated Oils/Trans fats. NO artificial sweetners.

3. Minimize/avoid refined sugars and simple carbohydrates like flour, pasta, bread, oatmeal, cereal, rice, white potatoes, etc. (vegetables and fruites have good carbohydrates). Sugars causes insulin levels to fluctuate and increases inflammation. Two to three servings of vegetables at each meal (including breakfast).

4. Juice Plus (Garden Blend + Orchard Blend and you can consider adding Vineyard Blend). This will improve your diet and give you fiber, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals and other good things in nature.

5. Omega-3 fish oil (vegans can get it from flax seed). At least 2gram/day (add EPA + DHA for total). If your diet is pro-inflammatory, you will need more. High doses are safe as long as it is good quality meaning no heavy metals and it has not sat around too long.

6. Vitamin D3 - 4,000IU/day (high doses ie 50,000IU for 6 months are not toxic so if you hear 4,000 is too high make sure they have good data to back them up). Optimal blood level should be greater than 60 ("normal" value could be as low as 28 depending on lab)

7. Consider a good multi-vitamin, but if you have a good diet and Juice Plus you may not need this additional supplement

8. Drink plenty of filtered, preferably alkalized, water.

**Consider blood tests for hormones levels and vitamin/mineral deficiencies to fine tune an individualized program and minimize cost for unnecessary supplements [ie MicroNutrient test and NutrEval (R)]
