2. Healthy Living

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

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

5. 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 *

6. 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 France, Dailymail, September 2010

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

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

9. Our body needs fruit and vegetables

10. The Importance of a healthy nutritional basis

11. A report requested by the World Health Organisation (WHO) links adequate intake of fruits and vegetables to health*.
THEORY vs
REALITY
WHO recommends we consume 400 grams of fruits or vegetables per day.
This equals 4 to 5 pieces fruits or vegetables per day.
It’s just so inconvenient when you have to take 5 pieces of fruits with you to work, every single day… *

12. 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
We say someone has a nutrient deficiency when he takes in an RDA less then 2/3 of the proposed RDA

13. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and water
A healthy diet consists of a good balance between macronutrients and micronutrients
Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and water
Vitamins and minerals

14. 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

15. Recommended
Actual
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.
However, about half of the people of 7 European member states has a mean daily intake of less than 275 grams.*
UK, Ireland, Austria, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Denmark are those 7 member states
January 2001
2) 99% do not meet the recommendations (food pyramid). In a survey of 21,500 people*, not a single person consumed a 100% of RDA for the 10 most important nutrients! * USDA National Food Consumption Survey
USDA= United States Department of Agriculture
Over 70% of people did not even meet 2/3rds of RDA for one or more nutrients.** = USDA National Food Consumption Survey
* Department of Epidemiology & Public Health – London

16. Reasons? Bioavailability of Nutrients
Some human body conditions can inhibit absorption of some nutrients
Poor Food Choices 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
Poor Food Choices
highly processed or refined food - often means that you are not getting all the nutritional value you could from your food.
limited range of foods - can limit the range of vitamins and minerals you are getting from your food. No one food contains all the nutrients you need, so it’s important to eat a wide variety of foods regularly.
eating on the run - can mean we choose convenience foods which are often high in fat, sugar or salt and low in fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Food Storage and Preparation Methods
Storing foods incorrectly or for too long can result in a loss of nutritional value over time for nutrients sensitive to light, heat and/or air exposure.
Some cooking methods also cause the loss of vitamins.
Intensive Farming Practices
has contributed to lowering the nutritional value of some crops that are produced.
Bioavailability of Nutrients
Some nutrients cannot be fully absorbed, or can only be absorbed in the presence or absence of other nutrients.
there are individual differences between people as to their ability to absorb particular nutrients. INTER individual is between different individuals
Some medical conditions or medications can inhibit the absorption of some nutrients and some people have an inherited inability to absorb certain nutrients.
Changing Nutritional Requirements
During times of stress, illness or when recovering from an injury our bodies need more nutrients.
Starting an exercise programme or taking on a more physically demanding job.
Pregnancy also has its own special nutritional needs which should be discussed with a medical professional.
Lifestyle Factors Certain lifestyle choices can have an effect on your body’s nutritional needs.
Changing Nutritional
Requirements
due to stress, fatigue, pregnancy …
Lifestyle Factors can have an effect on your body nutritional needs

17. Support your body
Immune System - Skin - Oxidative Stress

18. We will be focusing on 3 main areas:
Our immune system
Our skin
Preventing oxidative stress

19. 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
Skin has a strong defense mechanism.

20. Without skin, life would be impossible
Our skin
… is an essential organ - for all living beings.
Without skin, life would be impossible
Skin has a strong defense mechanism.

21. 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).
Skin has a strong defense mechanism.

22. HYPODERMIS
This layer of our skin consists of a veritable “cushion of fat”.
It offers both mechanical and chemical protection.
Skin has a strong defense mechanism.

23. DERMIS
Situated underneath the epidermis, our dermis contains fibroblasts, responsible for the formation of fibres:
Collagen fibres - our connective tissue fibres, which support our skin’s firmness & elasticity
Elastic fibres - a network that runs between our collagen fibres, which promote skin elasticity.
Skin has a strong defense mechanism.

24. Oxidative Stress
How does it occur?

25. 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.

26. 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 1
Step 2
Free radical unstable missing an electron
Electron taken from functional molecule 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.

27. Antioxidants protect the functions of molecules
But luckily, there are those substances called antioxidants, which our body can use to neutralise harmful free radicals.
Free radical stabilised by electron donated by the antioxidant e-
Antioxidant protects functional molecule by giving up one of its own electrons
Functional molecule can continue to perform its function
Antioxidants protect the functions of molecules
They terminate the chain reaction by neutralising free radicals

28. 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.

30. 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

31. 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.

32. 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!
Example of fat soluble components is Vitamin A and carotenoids
