Tuesday 11th December - Berry Good News from the Wholefood Farmacy

You all know that I am a fanatic about the dangers of Free Radicals now and how we need to find as many ways as possible to combat this by increasing Anti-oxidant consumption. In fact I changed my whole book content and eating plan around that very concept to combat preventable disease.

Today I received this information below from my friends at the Wholefood Farmacy.
They not only have the best tasting snacks in the United States but they are also "very Berry conscious".

It is this consistency to increase knowledge and by creating awesome products (that taste out of this world) which is the reason that I would rate them so highly. Their Phi Plus and Fruitalicious products are outstanding. Oh and don't forget to give their Cornucopia product a try. I take this one when I am going to watch a movie as it is not only far more nutritious than the "fat filled bought product", it tastes better too.

These products contribute to my sanity breaks and they never fail to supply me with quality nutrition that is simply the best. Whenever I know that I am coming to the United States, I go online and order product to have it waiting for me at my hotel. It's that good !!!

Now I get news that not only are they producing great product but they are also looking to increase childrens education which as you know I strongly support. Another great initiative from a great company. Do yourself a favor and go online and check them out. I promise that this is not a sales pitch, it is a FLAVOR pitch !

They are even doing a "Cake of Dreams" until December 31st - someone has to try this and let me know how good it is. Just looking at the ingredients has my taste buds watering.

From their program 90 days of Wellness.
Anti-oxidants are natural substances found in plants, which are known to aid in the prevention of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Berries have an especially high level of antioxidants, according to a recent study published in the journal BioFactors (Vol. 23, pages 197-205).

The pigments that give berries their rich red to blue, black and purple colors are a type of phytochemical that has been shown to have significant disease-fighting, cell-protecting antioxidant capacity. In addition to boosting your immune system, these valuable compounds are also known to slow the effects of aging by improving things like memory, balance, coordination and motor skills.

The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC Value) of foods is a measurement of the Antioxidant levels. The higher the ORAC Value, the more Antioxidants a food has. It's believed that foods high in these powerful nutrients give the body its greatest protection.

Berries are some of the most delicious and powerful disease-fighting foods available. Blueberries are among fruits and vegetables with the highest Antioxidant levels with an ORAC Value of 5486. Right behind blueberries are blackberries with an ORAC Value of 4654; strawberries at 3520 and raspberries, 2789. Berry ORAC levels top that of many other fruits and vegetables such as oranges, grapefruit, cherries, plums, brussell sprouts, broccoli and spinach.

Single servings of fresh or freshly cooked fruits and vegetables supply an average of 600-800 ORAC units. Scientists believe that increasing intake of foods that provide 2000-5000 units per day may be needed to increase serum and tissue antioxidant activity sufficiently to improve health outcomes. This is why it's important to eat 5 to 9 servings daily of fruits and vegetables.


The Wholefood Farmacy makes it easy and convenient to get your 5 to 9 servings each day and to enjoy the very best that nature has to offer. You can find many different types of berries in your favorite Wholefood Farmacy foods including Phi Plus, Cranberry Phi, Coco Cherry Phi, Fruitalicious & Fruitalicious Plus.
