Scientists believe a direct correlation exists between the damage caused by free radicals and the discomfort and diseases associated with aging. And there is a mounting body of evidence that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps slow the aging process and protects cells from free radical damage.

In fact, in response to such an overwhelming wealth of positive research, the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and The U.S. Department of Agriculture, all recommend you eat a minimum of five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

The truth though is that less than 10% of the U.S. population does. And of the fruits and vegetables that they do consume, most are processed or cooked, eliminating their nutritional value and leading to nutritional deficiencies and - many scientists, doctors and researchers believe - to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other heath challenges.

Since scientists began tapping in to the natural power of fruits and vegetables, they have identified thousands of biologically active compounds that are now considered essential for health and the prevention of disease.

Unlike drugs, which often work against the body as a whole while treating specific symptoms, these potent organic actives support your complete system, protecting your cells and working to slow the aging process.

One popular way of accessing these healthy nutrients is as fresh juices - using a juicer to directly extract the juice and pulp from fruits and vegetables without applying heat or any other processing which depletes their nutritional value.

The Seven Essentials offers a much more convenient, less messy and inexpensive way to get your daily supply of these Whole Food Actives without all the inherent salt, sugar, and calories.

You get all the Whole Food Actives from 10 different raw vegetables - Flavanoid Complex, Polyphenols, Carotenoids, Indole Carbinols, Enzyme Complex, Anthocyanins, Sulforaphane and Natural Vitamins - with no synthetic vitamins added.

These nutrients working together can have a huge impact on your health...And the specialized, patented, Flash Glancing ™ extraction process maximizes the antioxidant protection - retaining all the nutrient value similar products lose through the pasturization process.

And because only selected vegetables that meet rigorous Non-Detectable Standards relating to pesticides and contaminants are used, you can be sure you're getting the best quality.

There's also now evidence suggesting that Whole Food Actives, once they're extracted from the raw vegetables, actually supply more disease preventing compounds than the vegetables themselves . . . The high fiber content of vegetables prevents many of the essential nutrients from being absorbed . . . they don't get to the cells where you need them. So, these Whole Food Actives may well be better than the real thing.
