Fruit & Veggie Caps??
Hi:
I am new, and have not been on every portion of the web site yet, but the main reason I joined this forum was to get information on the best veggie/fruit caps to purchase. My kids do not get enough fruit and vegetables, neither do we, and I am at my wits end. The book said he would recommend some on this site, however, I read the caption o nthe front page and ???
Can anybody help me find a good brand that's not too expensive? Thanks!

Thanks, Michelle, I will check it out! I was thinking a fruit cap and a veggie cap, they must make some that are all natural. I used to buy Herbalife and they were great, but very expensive. Now we are taking a good multi vitamin that is all natural (cold compressed tablets) and omega 3's, plus vitamin D, and Calcium. We are really missing the fruits and veggies, probably only get 2 per day if we are lucky. Work, school, all have horrible choices. I am worried. They don't get sick often, but once a year is even too much I think.

Trace Minerals are the Foundation of Health
Chemical balance within the body is facilitated by the manipulation of minerals. An abundant and replenished mineral nutritional supply is essential to excellent health. Always remember that the body can use minerals without vitamins, but it can’t use vitamins without minerals. Minerals are the solid foundation upon which all nutrition is built. As important as vitamins are, minerals are even more important. Many vitamins and other complex chemicals needed by the body are actually manufactured within the body itself. The minerals, however, which are the basic building blocks making up these complex substances, must be nutritionally present, or the system is lacking its essential ingredients. Poison
The body has many systems to keep in balance for health. While minerals do the majority of the heavy work, the trace minerals can be compared with the small weights on a balance beam. These tiny weights, though small, are absolutely vital for achieving optimum health. When complex systems are being considered, it is the fine tuning that leads to optimal performance.

Hi Kathi,
I'm glad that you understand how important and beneficial vegetables are for us and our children. Mother nature has given us abundance of all our body needs. You can check out fruit and vegetables for more info.

Yes, I understand your point, however, it is just not realistic in my family's life style to have 5-7 fruits/veggies per day. Now multiply that by 4 people, you are talking a minimum of 20 pieces of fruit per day. I think that could get quite expensive, especially ORGANIC fruits/veggies, right? I just started buying organic, and I can tell you I cannot afford this. Nor do I always have the time, since I work 60 hours a week and go to college full-time too. Throw a large house into the mix and no cleaning lady! Busy, busy!
I think having an alternative in the form of powder or capsules for a few of these fruits is a good idea, so I am trying to find a good quality and non-expensive version out there. There must be someone who knows of something???
Thanks,
Kathi

Hi Michelle:
I am trying to find a good juicer at the moment. I am actually trying many things at the moment, and it is stressing me out, quite frankly! My husband thinks I am losing it, my kids totally think I have lost it, and even my cats are freaking out! I am changing diets, cleaning products, etc....
I am, by the way, going to start feeding my 2 cats a raw meat diet. Have you tried this? I read a lot on the web, but quite frankly, it's a bit scary......not any less scary than feeding them canned food though! that TERRIFIES me. I killed one cat on commercial canned food, not going to do that again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kathi

Great, I will check that out! Thanks much.
Glad to make someone happy and not cranky!!
I can see how that would be quite expensive with 30 cats. Mousing is best, I guess! I really need to try something. My one cat is allergic to everything under the sun and makes her foot bleed from licking it! Gotta do something about it soon or find a new husband.
I'll let you know how that goes!

Kathy, I understand about your family thinking you are losing it and yes, it can be alot all at once!! I started the juicing about 5 months ago and my husband and 2 youngest kids aren't okay with it yet .... I just make enough for two knowing I will probably end up drinking it all .... I offer it every time and as long as they at least try it I know they'll come around one day. You're going to get all kinds of points of view and you have to weed through it all and decide what's right for your family.

I don't know where you buy your organic fruit and vegetables, but in my town, one organic apple costs a dollar or more! No, this would not be inexpensive doing this for a family of 4 (3) times a day, sorry.....
Anyway, I have no juicer yet, working on that.
I have 2 teenagers, ever get them to try juicing or eating healthy? Not likely to happen any time soon. If I can get them to eat an apple a day I am lucky and I force feed them vegetables for dinner! ONE! It's an ongoing battle.
Hence, an alternative for supplemental feeding - still looking if anybody has ideas!

Well, that's great and you are lucky, I say! My 13 year old daughter might try it, but my 16 year old son - no way at this time. Possibly in the future, we'll see.

Marilyn, I hear what you are saying, but that is only for ME. I want to find an alternative to feeding 5-7 fruits and veggies each day to each of my 4 family members. I have done the analysis, and it is quite costly where I live to do this. I am not against eating fresh, organic fruits and veggies.
And I also know that a piece or two of fruit will not even come close to satisfying my 16 year old son! He would laugh me out the door.
So, if I can find a good supplement AND give a few fruits and veggies each day, they will be better off, and if it's easier, than that's even better!. That is if I can find one that doesn't cost more than the actual fruits and veggies.
So this is an analysis again................Kevin does say in his book that he recommends a good brand, but I cannot find it anywhere on this site...................

You know, I agree with that statement already and it's only been a week! I never would have thought a salad would make me feel satisfied, but today it did. My son is a hard sell, though, and he doesn't believe that all the carbs he consumes is only making him hungrier.........it's a good thing he has about 5% body fat or I would worry more.
I am trying my hardest to get through to him........my husband is listening, I think, which is a good start! He eats vegetables like they are going out of style. So, maybe one thing (or person) at a time..........
