The Truth About Noni Juice Benefits

By Nathan Marks

The nutritional supplement industry seems to have an exceptionally short attention span. Witness how they move from one new super-food to the next. In the last year or two, you've probably heard and read about acai berries, hoodia, mangosteen, thelmak root, goji and probably a few others besides, all in quick succession. Each of these foods is hailed as the healthiest thing ever discovered; but of course, it's hard to get a handle on exactly which of these foods can do what for you, since it seems the industry quickly moves on to the next nutritional discovery.

The latest thing is Noni juice benefits. Now of course, all of these foods do have some health benefits. By now however, you're probably more than a little tired of all of the hype going around about these products.

First of all, Noni (also called the Great Morinad) is a tree that grows on a lot of South Pacific and Polynesian islands. It's originally native to Southeast Asia, and can handle a wide range of soils. It flowers and fruits all year long, and the fruit is very pungent smelling as it ripens it's sometimes called the 'cheese fruit' because of this. The fruit pulp is strained to remove the seeds and used for a lot of Indonesian and Polynesian cooking, and Noni juice benefits are well known in traditional Asian medicine.

Like many fruit juices, Noni juice is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and phytochemicals, with an antioxidant content roughly equivalent to an ounce of grape skins. A glass of Noni juice contains slightly less calories than a glass of orange juice, but contains just as much vitamin C.

Now, these compounds all have benefits, they all exist in other food products. The specific Noni juice benefits come from the fact that you get them in one dose with fewer calories.

As to the actual health benefits? Well, there's a laundry list to work from:

Since it's an excellent source of vitamin C, Noni juice can help improve liver function and protect this vital organ. It can also increase immune function; according to Linus Pauling, vitamin C in large doses can help to prevent colds, influenza and other viral infections.

The antioxidants Noni juice contains have been shown in animal studies to improve cardiovascular health. These compounds are also thought to help the body to detoxify naturally and stop the cellular damage caused by free radicals.

The antioxidants and fructose content of Noni juice helps you to wake up calm and with a clear mind like many of the energy drinks now available can. Fructose is a natural form of sugar which occurs in fruit in the form of sugar most readily absorbed by the human body and the antioxidants contained in Noni juice help you absorb it that much quicker. Like many other fruit juices, Noni juice seems to elevate mood by stimulating the release of serotonin in the brain.

It seems that Noni juice benefits are real and this is a worthwhile addition to anyone's diet. Of course, it's not the fountain of youth nor does it mean you'll never have to go to the doctor again if you drink it. Its just a healthy juice which is healthy to include in your diet. Isn't that enough? - 17268
