We continue to top all record highs set in categories such as new members, page views, active members, media contributed and members logging in each month. In August, we saw an astounding 543% increase from July for new Vita-Village memberships. Thanks to a few really cool opportunities Vita-Mix had meeting musicians Jason Mraz & David Archuleta . Those two blogs helped introduce their fans to Vita-Mix and to the Vita-Village which  really increased our viewership and participation here in the Village.  Traffic increases and added friends to Vita-Mix MySpace, Twitter and Facebook accounts are also bringing new members into Vita-Village.   July 2009 had been our highest month for page views and we topped that number last month as well by 26.4%!  We had 265,234 page views last month!  Also more members had logged in during August than any other previous month. 4,965 more members logged in during August than July- an increase of 99%! That is huge growth! Village members have been contributing videos, photos and blogs. They have been posting good questions and making important comments and contributions to the message boards and on each other’s blogs. Vita-Village groups are bringing people with the same interests together in one place to talk about how the Vita-Mix has changed their lives. Check out the Vita-Village groups below.

Mraz and crew use the Vita-Mix machine on tour! [image]   We recently caught up with singer/songwriter, Jason Mraz on his tour stop through Cleveland Ohio. Did you know that Jason uses a Vita-Mix machine on tour? He does. In fact, we found out that Jason’s Vita-Mix machine gets quite a work out! Band members and the tour crew all use the Vita-Mix machine to make what they call “Green Drinks”. I am talking this is one serious looking green drink!  It was so dark in color! We were invited to go backstage into camp Mraz to see just how instrumental the Vita-Mix machine is in helping to keep the Mraz crew healthy and energized while on tour. [image] When we got to the “Vita-Mix” area, the Vita-Mix 5200 was already in use by Mraz’s keyboard player, Eric. He told us how much he loved the Vita-Mix and how he drinks several green drinks a day for energy.  Eric also told us that the Mraz crew also mixes in Vitamineral Green supplement powder with their smoothies. Eric told us that the power of the Vita-Mix is unbelievable. “I‘ve burned through several blenders with my smoothies, I’ve got to get one of these for my home, it’s really a powerful machine.” Mraz is mostly vegetarian and told us he also will eat fish for lean protein. Green drinks are a huge part of Jason’s regimen. When we were introduced to Jason as being from Vita-Mix Corporation, Jason was so happy to meet us. He told us how much he relies on the Vita-Mix machine. He was very appreciative of the large smoothie mug we gave him. “This is some mug! Now I don’t have to fill up my glass several times!” he said jokingly. Jason uses the 64oz container to make an enormous serving of his favorite green drink every day. [image][image] Not only was Jason very down to earth and a pleasure to talk with, Wendy and I both though it was one fantastic performance by the highly regarded musician. Mraz is praised throughout the music industry for his unique sound, creative songwriting and entertaining live show that featured a full band including bongos, a horn section and several of instrument changes himself!

Do you really think all those instant foods are promoting health? Dr Bob says 95% of all disease conditions can be prevented and/or corrected just by changing one's diet. Dr. Bob has previously visited with Vita-Mix employees as part of our wellness program to teach us about eliminating processed foods. Here's a look at Dr. Bob in our kitchen!

Why settle for anything less than a Vita-Mix….don’t you deserve it? Just think about how healthy you’ll be when you are older.

I found this on the internet. It is from a 31 year old female who is blogging about her transition into a vegan diet as she tries to drop the pounds she gained by eating processed food and drinking. She is all excited because she just bought a Vita-Mix! Maybe you can help her with some healthy vegan recipes that you make in your Vita-Mix. Invite her to join us on Vita-Village. I have!
