Overfed and Undernourished  
             By Carolyn Weaver
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Dear Friends,  

Hello, we hope this newsletter finds you
happy and healthy.

It's amazing that as a nation we can be both
overfed and also under- nourished, as the
article to the right explains.

Adding more micronutrients to your diet - in
the form of fruits, vegtables, whole grains,
and legumes - will not only nourish your
body and help protect you from disease, but
it may also help with weight loss. Many of
the foods high in micronutrients are also
low in calories and high in fiber.  

Juice Plus+ is another way to get more
micronutrients into your body every day.
Juice Plus+ is 17 raw, vine-ripened, fruits,
vegetables and grains (9 berries and grapes
with Vineyard Blend) in capsule, gummie, or
chewable form. It is a wonderful step
towards better health.

Please let us know if there is anything we
can do to help you on your way to better
health. Call us at (954)929-7707 and thank
you for visiting our site!

All the best to you all,

Bill and Carolyn
Despite advances in
medicine,
Bill W AND FRIENDS.COM, P.A.
French fries, pizza, cookies, potato
chips, macaroni and cheese, buffalo
wings, and BBQ spareribs-these are
among the most popular foods in
America.














Collectively these foods contain plenty
of acronutrients-protein,
carbohydrates, and fats-which are
necessary for life.

They also harbor lots of calories.
Where these and similar foods fall
short, however, are in
micronutrients-vitamins, minerals, and
phytonutrients-which are critical for
overall well-being and to ward off
serious illness.

So while Americans are good at
loading up on high-calorie popular
foods, they neglect nutrient-dense,
lower-calorie foods, such as fruits and
vegetables, whole grains, legumes,
and seeds.

Take fruits and vegetables: the
recommended daily intake is 7 to 13
servings, yet most Americans
consume only three. The result of
eating lots of macronutrients but few
micronutrients is an overfed-often
overweight-and undernourished
America.

How overfed are Americans?
According to the National Center for
Health Statistics, 66.3% of adults are
overweight or obese, and 17.5% of
kids aged 6 to 19 are overweight.

Carrying excess weight places people
at great risk of disease, but being
undernourished also exposes
individuals to health problems, as
micronutrients are necessary for the
immune system to effectively defend
against disease.

Thus being overfed and
undernourished lays the groundwork
for heart disease, some cancers,
osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood
pressure, and depression, among
other ailments, regardless of age.
Affected children may experience
stunted growth, listlessness, and a
weakened immune system.

The paradox is that so many
Americans are overweight and
malnourished in this land of plenty,
while in some less developed nations,
where people depend on a limited
food supply of nutrient-dense foods
such as native fruits, vegetables,
beans, and grains-families are better
nourished.

What can we do? Eat more
nutrient-dense foods, educate people
about their value, and make these
foods readily available.
