Noni Juice Benefits Revealed

By Nathan Marks

The nutritional supplement industry is one where products seem to have a very limited time in the spotlight before attention shifts to the next big thing. In the last year or so, you've no doubt read about thelmak root, hoodia, acai berries, goji berries and mangosteen in rapid succession. Every time a new tropical fruit or supplement comes along, it's touted as the healthiest thing ever discovered but of course, this is also an industry which is more than a little prone to hype.

Now they've moved on to Noni juice benefits. That's not to say that Noni juice (or any of the other products mentioned above) is bad for you. To the contrary, all of these products have extensive benefits but we've gotten tired of the hype, particularly when it comes to Noni juice benefits.

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.

Noni juice is a fruit juice. It's high in vitamin C and it has a number of compounds that are very high in antioxidants and phytochemicals, roughly comparable in dosage to an ounce of grape skins. Also, a glass of Noni juice has slightly less calories than a glass of orange juice. So, each glass of Noni juice benefits you with vitamin C as well as important antioxidants but with fewer calories than either orange juice or the equivalent amount of whole grapes.

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.

What you're really interested in though is exactly what the health benefits of Noni juice are:

The vitamin C contained in Noni juice makes this a healthy choice which benefits many different parts of the body. Vitamin C helps to maintain liver health and can boost your immune function. Linus Pauling claims that large doses of vitamin C can prevent many common viral infections such as influenza and the common cold.

The antioxidant compounds within Noni juice are the same ones that have been proven to help cardiovascular health in lab mice and lab rats; they're also in the general category of 'toxin removers' that help eliminate free radicals, one of the things that promotes aging in the human body.

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.

These Noni juice benefits make the juice something worth incorporating into your diet. However, drinking Noni juice doesn't mean that you'll never get sick again nor is this fruit juice the fountain of youth in a bottle. It's just a healthy juice which provides some nutritional benefits; which should be enough reason to make this healthy tropical fruit a part of your diet. - 17273
