PORTLAND HEALTH BEAT
THE PORTLAND CHAMBER IS ON THE JUICE
Interview with Shelly Stuart, CEO/President at the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
WHAT LEAD YOU TO PURCHASING
A JUICER?
"The Portland Chamber of Commerce decided to get
a juicer for a couple of reasons. First, we wanted to
support and participate in our Healthy Portland
initiative by eating smarter and that’s not always
easy, especially at work. We didn’t always prepare
for the day by planning a healthy lunch so we usually
resorted to grabbing something that was quick and
easy, not always healthy. Second, we realized that
juicing is one way of guaranteeing that you’re eating
more fruits and vegetables without seeing it as a
chore. You can mix up different ingredients to make
a revitalizing juice."
Shelly Stuart and the Chamber Juicer
WHAT ARE YOU HOPING TO SEE NOW THAT
YOU HAVE A JUICER?
"We want to get more of the fruits and vegetables that we needed in our diet but wasn’t
necessarily taking the time or effort to get. It is our hope that we feel better, help balance our
diet and get that added burst of energy you can get from juices. Hopefully, we will train
ourselves that on the days we aren’t going to be able to get to our healthy portion of fresh fruits
or vegetables we can just grab a quick jar of juice for the day."
