HEALTHY LIVING

Life expectancy is increasing and people want to look youthful and be active for longer

But some external factors can be damaging to our health … and we can’t always control them. Like pollution of water and air, smoke,…

Example: Around 90 %* of European Union citizens are exposed to damaging air pollutants from industry, vehicles … at levels which may be harmful to their health

Exposure to Air Pollution (EU citizens)

Exposed Non-Exposed

Leading dermatologists and photobiologists warn that daily exposure to ultraviolet rays means the skin can age twice as quickly as skin that is protected*

*University College Hospital, Besancon, in , Dailymail, September 2010

There are concerns about the fact that exposure to free radicals increases oxidative stress

But there are things we can do We can help our body to be ready to eliminate these substances How?

Our body needs fruit and vegetables

THE IMPORTANCE OF A HEALTHY NUTRITIONAL BASIS

A report requested by the World Health Organisation (WHO) links adequate intake of fruits and vegetables to health*.

THEORY WHO recommends we consume 400 grams of fruits or vegetables per day. This equals 4 to 5 pieces fruits or vegetables per day.

vs

REALITY It’s just so inconvenient when you have to take 5 pieces of fruits with you to work, every single day…

*http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/fruit/en/index2.html

So it all starts with a balanced diet:

A healthy diet helps ensure that all nutrient recommendations are met Did you know? The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)* is the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered sufficient to meet the requirements of 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life-stage and sex group. * European Commission – Health and Consumer Protection

A healthy diet consists of a good balance between macronutrients and micronutrients

Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and water

Vitamins and minerals

Why are micronutrients so important? Vitamins such as vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B12 and vitamin C contribute to normal energy- yielding metabolism Minerals like zinc, magnesium, manganese and calcium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones

* Department of Epidemiology & Public Health – London

However, about half of the people of 7 European member states has a mean daily intake of less than 275 grams.* Actual

Recommended

As one element of a healthy nutritional basis, the WHO recommendation is to consume 4 to 5 pieces fruits or vegetables per day – or 400 grams of fruits or vegetables, every day.

Reasons?

Bioavailability of Nutrients

Poor Food Choices

Some human body conditions can inhibit absorption of some nutrients

Eating on the run, eating mainly junk food

Food Storage and Preparation Methods Some cooking methods cause vitamin loss

Intensive Farming Practices can lower nutritional value

Changing Nutritional Requirements due to stress, fatigue, pregnancy …

Lifestyle Factors can have an effect on your body nutritional needs

Immune System - Skin - Oxidative Stress

JVi PRODUCT TRAINING

YOUR BODY

We will be focusing on 3 main areas:

• Our immune system • Our skin • Preventing oxidative stress

Our immune system … is a complex network of cells, tissue and organs … is our defence mechanism against foreign invaders, parasites, bacteria, … … if disorders in our immune system occur, this could lead to for example inflammatory problems

Our skin … is an essential organ - for all living beings.

Without skin, life would be impossible

Our largest organ, counting for 7% of our total body weight, the skin forms the main separation between our body’s internal environment and its surroundings.

As such, it will react to problems with both internal (disorders with our immune system) and external causes (reaction to allergens in the environment).

HYPODERMIS

• This layer of our skin consists of a veritable “cushion of fat”.

• It offers both mechanical and chemical protection.

DERMIS

Situated underneath the epidermis, our dermis contains fibroblasts, responsible for the formation of fibres:

• Collagen fibres - our connective tissue fibres, which our skin’s firmness & elasticity • Elastic fibres - a network that runs between our collagen fibres, which promote skin elasticity.

Oxidative Stress

How does it occur?

In our body, we can find free radicals. They occur as part of chemical processes like breathing and can also be generated when we are exposed to cigarette smoke, polluted air …

A free radical is what we call a molecule that is missing an electron. Because it misses an electron, it is highly reactive an unstable, and cannot perform its normal function.

Free radicals can become harmful to our body’s normal functioning: As a reaction to their unstable situation, free radicals can take an electron from another molecule, thus generating another unstable molecule, that in turn can no longer perform its normal function.

Step 2

Step 1 e-

Functional molecule can no longer perform its function

This chain reaction is also known as oxidative stress - oxidation of healthy tissue, DNA - and is linked to health concerns such as skin damage.

But luckily, there are those substances called antioxidants, which our body can use to neutralise harmful free radicals.

Antioxidants protect the functions of molecules e-

Free radical stabilised by electron donated by the antioxidant

Antioxidant protects functional molecule by giving up one of its own electrons

Functional molecule can continue to perform its function

They terminate the chain reaction by neutralising free radicals

We can increase our levels of antioxidants by adapting our food consumption towards substances that are rich in antioxidants.

By sustaining a healthy balance of free radicals and antioxidants, you can help your body to avoid the impact of oxidative stress.

INTRODUCING:

“Joie de Vivre”*

*Get a taste for life

JVi ®... • A tasty and colourful beverage

• An exclusive blend of 12 fruits and vegetables - 9 common European fruits & vegetables: carrot, white and red grapes, apple, pear, tomato, watermelon, mango and olive oil - 3 more unique, “imperial” fruits: wolfberry, sea buckthorn and acerola

• Containing carotenoids, naturally present in the fruits and vegetables above • Rich in vitamin C & copper and a source of biotin

A Vibrant Colour The bright colour found in many fruits and vegetables is an expression of the presence of interesting vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

JVi® gets its bright colour mainly from the carrots and tomatoes it contains: Carrots get their orange colour from β-Carotene, while tomatoes are red thanks to Lycopene.

Did you know? Carotenoids, like Lycopene and β-Carotene, are a family of more than 600 pigments responsible for the bright colours of many a nutrient. β-Carotene, and other carotenoids, are vitamin A precursors. Your body can receive vitamin A directlym or via conversion to vitamin A via the precursors.

Why Olive Oil? Is there a reason why we included olive oil in this tasty beverage? Yes! Olive oil helps to increase the absorption of the fat soluble vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, present in JVi®.

Did you know? Oil is lighter than water, so it will rise to the surface. This is why you may see oily particles floating on the surface of your JVi. This is easily solved: Just shake well before use to have a perfect blend!
