The Health Benefits Of The Tropics In Your Own Home

By TomO\'Riordan

Let's face it, the health food craze has taken over the nation. From wheat germ smoothies, to vitamins for everyone from infants to senior citizens, people are into their health lately. So it's easy to get caught up in fads and trends.

There is one recent fad, however, that actually delivers on its promises. Tahitian Noni Juice is a new health drink that comes from the morinda citrifolia, a fluit that grows exclusively in Tahiti. The plant is chock full of nutrients that are beneficial for cellular growth and upkeep. There are some island populations that consider this food a staple due to its comprehensive nutritional value.

Due to the power of globalization, the noni fruit has now been packaged and is available for anyone who wants to enjoy healthier looking skin and hair. It is also effective for boosting your immune system due to its high levels of vitamin C. The potassium present helps strengthen bones and flush out toxins. Elevated levels of vitamin A are also present, which helps your body fight off viruses.

Noni juice is also a great source of phytochemicals, which are extremely helpful although many people donat know about their benefits. The oligosaccharides found in Noni juice, combined with the live cultures in yogurt, do a superb job in helping to cleanse your intestines, especially when consumed on a daily basis. Together, they help keep your system clean and regular.

Fatty acids can also be found in Noni juice, similar to those you get by drinking cod liver oil, just without the strong after taste. These acids are known to improve thinking skills and other brain functions, as well as giving you the benefit of decreased risk of certain cancers and heart diseases. Combined with a healthy diet and good exercise routine, Noni juice is also believed to lower the bad type of cholesterol.

You can consume Noni juice in many ways, including shakes and smoothies that you can drink on the go. It is most beneficial when consumed raw, but it can also be used as a meat marinade or as a tropical twist in your favorite salad vinaigrette.

Children can also benefit from the goodness of Noni juice. Local Pacific cultures use it as a treatment for colic, constipation, diarrhea, and other ailments including the accelerated healing of broken bones if you can believe it. These benefits were formerly known only by natives in these Pacific nations, but now you can benefit from the wholesome goodness of Noni juice as well.

If you're into taking the best care of yourself, and you want a tasty way to do it, pour a big glass of Tahitian Noni juice, and drink easy, knowing you're giving yourself a head start on the pathway to health and wellness.
