Plano Courier Article featuring Fruit of the Spirit

A Collin County company, Fruit of the Spirit, has developed a fruit drink that incorporates health and faith. The result has been satisfied customers from throughout the area.

“When people see a bottle of Fruit of the Spirit for the first time, they think, ‘Oh, it’s just another health drink, ‘“said Deanna Naylor, VP of marketing. “But when they look a little closer, they quickly see this is a one-of-a-kind company and product. Fruit of the Spirit is a health puree with amazing benefits and it hopes to spread a meaningful message.”

Following five years of intense research and development, a product designed to target the Christian market was unveiled earlier this year. This inspiration behind the product was “To Lead Millions to Better Health,” while sharing a spiritual message of the importance of taking care of the body “God blessed us with,” company officials said.

“Fruit of the Spirit (FOS) is a whole-fruit puree rich in antioxidants and minerals. One or two ounces each day supplies the body with the energizing and healing nutrients needed for human
health and vitality,” said Naylor.

“This highly concentrated liquid is a unique blend of 16 super-fruits native to the Galilean (Mediterranean) region, and also herbs with a profound anti-inflammatory effect,” she said. Ironically, she added, these herbs are the Biblical herbs Frankincense and Myrrh.

Also included is a combination of cleansing minerals from the Dead Sea.

“To make this product even more powerful, a concentrated amount of Resveratrol was added,” Naylor said. “Resveratrol is a natural defense mechanism for the body that is found in the skin of the purple grape. Resverarol has recently been a topic in the news. It as been shown to have tremendous benefits of restoring our bodies and helping to prevent disease.”

The Dead Sea minerals in Fruit of the Spirit give the body alkalinity, Naylor said, noting that experts express that food today is seriously lacking in minerals. Minerals are vital to stay healthy and keep bodies free from disease, she said. The body needs minerals to make bones, digest food, make hormones, repair tissue and oxygenate cells. A physician who recently started carrying Fruit of the Spirit in his practice said, “Trying to get my patients better without alkaline minerals is impossible. FOS is a good and convenient source of these vital minerals – a tasty and sensible solution.”

This company is not just selling a product, it is reaching out with a message of education and inspiration. They are partnering with Christian ministries, health organizations, radio and television proCompany grams, along with internet sites to spread the word of health.

“We want to inspire others to take care of themselves and their family,” Naylor said, “With our busy schedules, we all need tools like Fruit of the Spirit to help. If we keep ourselves healthy and encourage our children to do the same, we will live in our healthy bodies longer and more abundantly. When you feed your body well, your spirit will be lifted.”

After 26 years of syndicated radio and Christian television – during which time she shared information about health, wellness and nutrition – Deborah Ray joined forces with Fruit of the Spirit to help reach more with this message. She explained her reasons for embracing Fruit of the Spirit’s mission. “I read the science behind Fruit of the Spirit, spoke with the lead formulator and visited the state-of-the-art manufacturing plant where Fruit of the Spirit is blended at the highest of standards. I tried Fruit of the Spirit personally, and urged a few family and friends to test it. With the impression it left, it was my pleasure and honor to join forces with this spirit filled mission.”

Deborah Ray introduced the product to physicians who are using it in their practice with patients daily. Dr. John Young of largo, Fla., is using Fruit of the Spirit in his practice. “I’ve seen several products out in the market. None come close to Fruit of the Spirit. It delivers such a powerful dose of antioxidants and alkalinizing minerals for my patients while keeping sugar, carbohydrates and calories at very low levels.” Young was recently invited to speak at the Visions: Women’s Expo on Aug. 29 at Dallas Market Hall.

People are feeling the benefits of Fruit of the Spirit all over the country, said Naylor, including Collin County. She said Jennifer, a resident of Plano, commented, “I absolutely love it. It gives me so much extra energy and I feel like a much healthier person over all. I sleep so much better at night and get through each day with more energy and vitality. I no longer have that groggy, sluggish feeling throughout the day.”

Naylor said Trisha, from Allen, “feels so much better throughout the day because of Fruit of the Spirit. I have arthritis and Fruit of the Spirit has made such a difference in my aches and pains that creep up in the late afternoons. It has been a true blessing to my life.”

   Here’s to Your Health is a liquid vitamin and mineral supplement, much like a miltivitamin but in liquid form. Fruit of the Spirit is a whole fruit puree blend of 13 whole fruits and 10 chelated minerals plus we added 2 natural anti-inflammatory herbs, Frankincense and Myrrh (Boswelia) which are wonderful for the body to reduce aches, pains, and inflammation. The major difference is that FOS gives you the equivalent of 5 servings of whole fruits and vegatables in every ounce and it is from the whole super fruit blend that makes this possible. We don’t add any water or sugar juices to our blend, it is very concentrated and pure. Also, we manufacture at the highest standards (Aseptic Manufacturing) that preserves the nutrients and vitamins of each ingredient. Researchers are finding that whole food trumps isolated vitamins every time. We need the complexity of whole food with the trace elements, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that are found in the skin, seeds and pulp of the fruit.

   If you are not experiencing increased energy with HTYH, we invite you to try Fruit of the Spirit. 1-2 ounces once or twice a day should give you more energy and better sleep.
