Superfruits in Healthy Blend Juice

For the past week or so, we have talked about the 3 main superfruits in our Healthy Blend Juice. To satisfy the definition of a Superfruit according Wikipedia, the fruit must have 4 qualities.

1. Nutrient density
2. Antioxidant strength
3. Intensity of current basic medical research and, if applicable, status of existing human clinical trials
4. Potential for disease impact

Goji Berries, Mangosteen Fruit and Noni Fruit are all on Wikipedia’s list of superfruits. The juice of these 3 fruits comprise 60% of Healthy Blend Juice. The remaining 40% is comprised of reconstituted Acai Juice from whole Euterpe Oleracea fruit, reconstituted Camu-Camu Juice, USDA Organic Certified Aloe Vera Juice and Triple filtered water.

But, before I begin discussing the remaining 3 juices in Healthy Blend, I wanted to talk a bit about water.

Like you, when I buy vegetable juice, or orange juice, I don’t want to see water on the label. In this case, however water is added for the specific purpose of making the juice more appealing. All the juices in Healthy Blend are dense and each with strong distinctive flavors and require a bit of dilution.

The water we use is Triple Filtered. The water first passes through a filter that removes any sediment, then through a finer filter removing mineral deposits, finally through a charcoal filter to remove any remaining chemicals.

Personally, I no longer drink any tap water, except perhaps at restaurants. The tap water in my home smells so strong of chlorine that I worry about washing my clothes in it! I not only buy filtered water to drink and cook with, but I also “off gas” the water I use for watering my plants. (chlorine and flouride are very bad for your plants) The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has an interesting web page on Drinking Water . If you are not drinking purified water now, I strongly recommend you read this page.

I also recommend you read the label on the bottled water you purchase. I was shocked to see the additives in supposedly purified water from major distributors.
