A whole piece of fruit is full of natural fiber and this fiber slows the release of its sugar naturally… that’s benefit number one.
Benefit number two… is that the whole fruit contains minerals and micronutrients that would have been lost, had it been separated from it’s natural flesh and squeezed.
In addition, all mass marketed juices are pasteurized (or flash super heated) to extend the juices shelf life (even Naked Juice flash heats their products) which destroys much of its valuable health properties.
Juices that are freshly squeezed that day are still no match for the whole fruit – don’t let the juicer infomercials fool you.

Brussels Sprouts offer a phytonutrient that can help clear away carcinogenic substances in your body naturally says the American Dietetic Association.
But this superfood is only getting started with that aforementioned quality; it’s loaded with other health properties and it’s really inexpensive.
Steam them and eat them plain for best results. C’mon don’t be afraid… they’re good for you.

Sprouts Farmer’s Market is the best place to buy conventional produce… especially if produce availability, consistency and low prices are important to you. Although Sprouts does have organic produce, it’s quite limited in it’s quantity and availability most of the time.

Orthorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an obsessive focus on healthy food and healthy eating.
Really?
In my opinion, the only way this could be a legitimate problem for someone is by misunderstanding what healthy eating really means in the first place. In fact, I wish more (nutritionally educated) people were diagnosed with this problem everyday.
