Talk about a story that simply makes your day. Juice for Life is the newest food spot in the Bronx, NY. No, its not the typical corner store where you can find cigarettes, honey buns, and any of hood snack that we all have become so use to consuming. Jadakiss and Styles P are bringing a healthy, affordable option to the hood, and we believe that this concept is amazing!
According to the video below from Elite Daily, Jadakiss and Styles P explain:
“Our juice bars are open in the hoods on purpose to educate our people on health awareness. Most of the hood don’t have access to good food, most of the hood don’t have health insurance…”
What was most fascinating about the video was that the Juice for Life bars are not only giving people, who at one point, didn’t really have healthy food options – besides what was located at their local grocer. This juice bar has a menu that explains the benefits of the fruits and vegetables that are within each juice option. Most of us have gotten in to the juicing trends within the past few years, now that we are becoming aware of the importance of eating healthy with a purpose. It’s great to see that children, who may not necessarily have the means or exposure to food and health education, now have the option to learn about the importance of eating certain foods; this way, they will be able to make wiser decisions about food choices.
What Jadakiss and Styles P are doing is not only a benefit for the hood TODAY, but this type of education will affect generations to come. The more you know, right? Good look guys! We hope to see more of these affordable juice bars in a hood near you. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW!
