Fruits + Vegetables

Eat your Fruits and Vegetables

Do we sound like your mother? Well, she was right. VERY right. Studies are showing that the dramatic decline in our health as a planet is not so much about the bad food we are eating, it’s about not getting enough of the good!(1) Ruvi makes getting the good fruits and vegetables easy with our freeze dried whole foods.

“A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check.”(2)

Fruits & vegetables are THE BEST SOURCE of phytonutrients

Plants develop these powerful nutrients to fight off disease, drought, and any other stress that comes their way. Phytonutrients, such as antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, lignins, and about 9,995 other powerful plant compounds, help your body repair, build, grow, and fight. Their effectiveness in your body is extremely similar to their effectiveness for their own survival. This is why nutritionists, doctors, and other medical professionals are so adamant about the importance of a plant-based diet.

At least part of the problem, though, is that the bioavailability to humans of these compounds starts to degrade as soon as the fruits and vegetables are harvested. You simply can’t get the kind of highest-quality nutrients with the greatest bioavailability from fresh fruits and veggies. This is where Ruvi comes in, with the best freeze dried whole foods from 26 different fruits and vegetables. Since our products are freeze dried at the highest potency for maximum phytonutrient retention, you always get your fruits and veggies at their peak in our drink packets. And you can taste the difference.

Eat at least 10 servings of F+V a day for optimal health 

(½ cup servings)

• Only 1 in 10 adults are eating at least 10 servings per day.(3)
• Only 9% of High School students eat enough fruit and 1% eat enough vegetables.(4)
• 80% of Americans have a phytonutrient gap** (not getting enough colorful plant nutrients)(1)
• 1 in 5 of deaths globally are associated with poor diet.(1)
• Inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption may account for millions of deaths from heart disease and stroke each year.(5)
