"The Vitamix doesn't throw out the most nutritious parts of fruits and vegetables. My knowledge of the healing nutrients and fibers contained in the pulp of fruits and vegetables would never allow me to use any juicer that discards this prescious pulp."

Every year more than a million people die from heart disease world-wide.

As with any illness, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

And a diet rich in plant foods is a pivotal part of any preventive plan.

A plant-based diet not only helps prevent heart disease, it can also be instrumental in treating and reversing it.

According to Dean Ornish, MD, (an often-quoted heart researcher), the conventional approach to dealing with heart disease—with surgical procedures and cholesterol-lowering drugs—"treats only the disease's physical manifestations without addressing the more fundamental causes".

Such measures, Ornish explains, "will provide only temporary relief."

Research shows that the phytonutrients and antioxidants in whole foods can significantly reduce damage to the cells by free radicals.

The hard part is getting these essential chemicals into a digestible form.

Vitamix delivers MORE from the healthy food you buy.
Valuable nutrients locked inside the pulp, skins and seeds of tomatoes cannot be absorbed because the phytonutrients are trapped wihin plant cells which need to be ruptured. The Vitamix machine ruptures the cell walls of fresh, whole foods to make these phytonutrients more bioavailable.

A recent study by the Health Research and Studies Center showed that tomatoes processed in the Vitamix machine delivered over three times more lycopene than tomatoes prepared in a juicer or eaten whole.
