With the emphasis on reducing cholesterol in recent years, you may be glad to learn about recent studies and the results that say Tahitian noni juice may lower the bad cholesterol (LDL). This could be important to those struggling to reduce their levels and improve their health.
Noni is an indigenous plant of the South Pacific's Polynesian Islands (and comes from a bumpy fruit of the otherwise known \"Morinda Citrifolia\" tree). It's been used for more than 2,000 years by Polynesian's in their alternative medicine practices, and thanks to recent studies, may have proven to lower overall cholesterol and triglycerides.
In one particular study, smokers who had high cholesterol levels saw major reductions in just 30 days. Smokers were used for the study since they usually have higher cholesterol levels and increased chance for heart attacks. The product's powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other cancer-fighting properties are reasons why Tahitian noni juice may lower the bad cholesterol (LDL).
This was a controlled study, which contained a placebo group, and in the course of the study the placebo groupas total cholesterol and triglycerides levels went up slightly. A spokesperson for the study stated, athis study is a rare example of good research of a dietary supplement or food that makes health claimsa and with the significant differences between the two study groups a larger clinical study should occur soon to see if the results hold.
There is increasing concern on the part of doctors and patients about the health risks of high cholesterol. Though the human body does need a certain level of cholesterol to function properly high levels have been found to lead to heart disease. Television advertising has brought an increasing awareness of the issue of high cholesterol and Americans spent over $16 billion on statin drug last year. For those looking for an alternative to these prescription medications noni juice may provide just the right option.
However, the juice isn't cheap either. A quart bottle may be as high as $26. It reportedly doesn't taste very good either, but that can be masked by the addition of grape, blueberry or other fruit juices. Its odor is strong, as is its taste, making it hard for some people to swallow, literally.
Noni juice will potentially become even more popular as doctors and nutritionists discover that it is an option for patients wanting to avoid costly prescription medications in treating their high cholesterol. And while other supplements have been reported to lower cholesterol none have the health benefits of being a fruit juice as well.
As more headlines proclaim how \"Tahitian noni juice may lower the bad cholesterol (LDL)\" and sales continue to grow (as they jumped to more than $1 billion after a network news show reported on the study's results), let's hope the results will more substantially prove its benefits and more individuals will reap the significant results for their hearts and overall health.
