What is Noni?

August 1st, 2009

The scientific name of noni is morinda citrifolia and more commonly as Tahitian noni, beach mulberry, Indian mulberry, or great morinda, among others. The tree on which the noni fruit grows is native to Southeast Asia, but has been spread extensively through Pacific Islands.

The plant produces fruit all year. The fruit starts out green, but matures to a yellow or almost white color. The pungent odor of the ripened fruit gives rise to the less than appealing name such as “cheese fruit”. The noni is a hardy plant capable of growing in a wide variety of habitats.

Recently, overzealous MLM companies have led to a similar range of claims. One website claimed that noni juice benefits and uses include inhibiting “pre-cancer function and growth of cancer tumors!” On the same website, a man claimed that after only a few weeks of drinking noni, his arthritis was gone and he was no longer impotent.

So what is the truth about natural noni juice?

What is the nutritional content of Noni Juice - What is in noni? What are the vitamin, minerals, and antioxidants that make it so helpful?

Noni Juice benefits and uses - You’ve heard the claims, but what can you really expect? Can it reduce cholesterol? And does it back up the claims?

Noni Juice products - How do you choose which juice to buy? What should you look for in a quality product? Does it matter whether the fruit comes from Samoa, Fiji, Hawaii, or French Polynesia? Does the processing method matter?

How much to pay? Does price always equal quality? What would a fair price be for a quality product? Has it been diluted or reconstituted with water?

Do You Know The Green Tea Benefits?

July 2nd, 2009

You may have noticed the various Health Tea products on the internet in recent times, and wondered just what, exactly; a tea can do for you? You may even be wondering whether the term health benefits of tea means anything at all, or whether it’s just another way to part you and your money. Of course, the answer depends on the exact preparation you are talking about, but even conventional teas offer significant health benefits. Have a look at these surprising facts:

1. Green tea, also known as Chinese tea, and most certainly a healthy drink, has been shown to help prevent, and slow, certain forms of cancer, including prostate and breast cancer, thanks to its unique anti oxidants. White tea, another much lauded tea, from the same plant as green, and ordinary black tea, has since been proven to be more effective in fighting cancer than even it’s better known cousin, which certainly makes it another healthy drink.

2. By increasing a natural process called thermogenesis, which simply means the rate at which calories are burned, green tea, which is definitely a health tea, increases the metabolic rate, and speeds up weight loss.

3. Tea, whether black or green, boosts immune function, which was proven during a study where two groups, one drinking tea, and one coffee, had their blood tested. The tea drinkers’ blood tested higher for disease fighting T-cells, all important to our immune function. So not only is it health tea, its immune booster tea too!

4. Reduction in stress is another proven effect of green tea, probably the ultimate health tea out there. By reducing stress hormones, the production of cortisol, and reducing the likelihood of clotting, tea effectively prevents stress levels from rising, and reduces the risk of heart attack, so common among stress sufferers. Green tea fights bacteria and viruses, but this ultimate health tea has also shown itself to be effective against snake bite venom! Amazingly, a compound in the tea is effective in treating a number of different types of snake bites, and an extract made from this compound is used to treat bites, particularly when the snake species is unknown.

5. Last on our list, but certainly not least, a study at UCLA has proven that tea drinkers, whether black or green is their preferred health tea, are less at risk than those who don’t drink tea.

With all these and more benefits in black, green and white tea, it becomes clear that the term health tea applies not only to the newer types of super tea out there, but the more common varieties as well. And with so many benefits from the humble tea leaf, would it not also be fair to say that all tea is health tea? Of course, there are many other specific health teas out there, with varying claims and efficacy, however, if ordinary, run of the mill tea can do so much, and more, is it not entirely plausible that there are more health teas out there, that can do other amazing things for you?
