Swimsuit season means more people are watching what they eat.

But it shouldn't matter what time of year it is, your health and looks truly depend on what you put in your body. The saying "you are what you eat," means just what it says.

You want to look good in a swimsuit? Eat foods that are healthy and all natural. It has much less to do with how many calories something contains and much more to do with how close to the natural product a food might be.
If you doubt this gem of wisdom, look at French people who scarf down red meat, cheeses, and wine every day. They also don't shy away from heavy creams and full-fat products as snacks.

But you won't find very many bags of fake orange colored chips in their pantries.

The all-natural way of eating not only helps you look more attractive, but it keeps you healthier as well.

It is not yet known how all those chemical additives and preservatives affect our bodies and our health. I can't imagine any food that is completely created in a laboratory could possibly be good for you.
Unlike these unhealthy and potentially hazardous foods and drinks, the makers of Nopalea Juice take pride in offering an all-nature juice that tastes good and is good for you.

Nopalea Juice is naturally sweetened with Agave nectar and contains about a dozen extracts and concentrates from a variety of foods.

In addition, its main ingredient (besides water) is the prickly pear cactus, which has been used as both a food, juice, and medicine for centuries. The prickly pear cactus grows in the Sonoran desert and it is believed that the Aztecs embraced it for its beneficial properties.

The prickly pear cactus is both a natural anti-oxidant and natural anti-inflammatory. It's health benefits have been praised by none other than the renowned Dr. Mehmet Oz. On at least two episodes of his show, Dr. Mehmet Oz has featured the plant.

In one episode, the prickly pear cactus was included as one of the world's seven natural wonders.

Dr. Oz said that some people with diabetes might find help by eating the plant. The fibrous nature of the cactus helps people to regulate blood sugar levels in the body, which can help those who suffer from diabetes.
In yet another episode, which featured comedian Jimmy Fallon, Oz said he would send Fallon some prickly pear to help with hangovers.

Many people don't drink the juice because they want to be attractive. Instead, it appears to be a natural beneficial side effect. More people actually drink the juice to improve their health. They drink it to fight joint pain and to reduce swelling in the body. Some people claim to have found relief from acne, migraines, arthritis pain, and other aches and pains just be drinking the juice. Many people have provided written testimonials claiming that a welcome, but unexpected side effect was the boost of energy they got from drinking the juice. Some say they have experienced an overall sense of well being that they attribute to their new daily regimen of the drink.
