PFC Annual Summer Picnic
PFC enjoyed some rest, relaxation and play time at the local community park. We played wiffle ball, volleyball, water ballons and of course enjoyed some great homemade food. Check out our picture album on facebook.
Making Shakes at Fitlife Annual Conference
Two of PFC’s finest Juice Bar consultants are busy this week sampling out our shakes and meeting some really great Fitness Enthusiasts at FitLife’s 2010 Annual Conference. The conference this year is being held at the beautiful Seventh Mountain Resort in Bend, Oregon.
Today they are prepping the booth for the demo derby, where each participant visits their booth and answers questions about our shakes in order to win a prize. The conference is full of fun games and promises each year a great opportunity to network with other fitness professionals.

Why Choose Organics? Does it really make a difference?
Organics – Are they different?
What science has discovered and is indisputable is the difference between plants that have been grown with conventional agricultural methods (i.e., chemical fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides) and those grown organically. Looking at the cells of these plants under a microscope reveals some amazing details. For instance, a tiny extract of an organically grown carrot grows a crystalline picture of order and perfection with an abundance of varying metabolites; in marked contrast to an extract of a conventionally grown carrot showing a weak and dissipated picture with much fewer and distorted metabolites.
The fact is that the marked difference between conventionally and organically grown crops is due to the huge number of secondary metabolites found in mature, organically grown plants. By changing the farming and processing methods of our food products, we have completely changed the way our bodies recognize or don’t recognize these foods;. This is not good news for our body’s cells, which require specific nutrients to replicate superior cells. These are nutrients, as mentioned earlier, that science hasn’t even begun to identify let alone understand.
There is an order of nature and through a microscope you can truly see that there is vitality to an organically grown plant versus a conventionally grown plant. This vitality has been systematically removed. Indeed, there has been a very slow depletion of vitality in plants in the last 50 years. What we do with conventional agriculture
is that we over-emphasize the growth of the plant instead the nutrional quality.
Conventional agriculture works against the natural nutritional richness of nature in three ways:
- The seeds used in conventional agriculture have been specially adapted to grow when they receive chemical fertilizers and other applications, and therefore produce inferior plants.
- Growing plants with chemicals to obtain greater profits leaves cells weaker.
- Crops that are never allowed to fully mature never receive their full complement of the life-enhancing secondary metabolites.
What you can do …
Begin by introducing to your diet foods that have been certified Organic. You may feel that these foods are more expensive, but are they really?
- You will find that you will eat fewer calories because foods that are more nutrient dense are more sating and satisfying.
- How much will it cost in medical bills to cure a disease that you or your family contract for some inexplicable reason?
