Tahitian Noni Juice, Could Change Your Life.

By TomO\'Riordan

There is an increase in the amount of Tahitian Noni Juice that is being consumed today. What is the big craze about? First off I will tell you a bit about the noni plant. The noni or morinda plant as it is sometimes called is a tropical evergreen tree. It is usually found in Tahiti and other pacific Islands, as well as in parts of Asia, Australia, South America and the Caribbean.

The fruit of the Noni has been embraced among the Polynesians for many centuries. The Noni is also referred to as the Indian Mulberry, or Morinda depending upon the culture. In some areas the Noni fruit is consumed whole, while in others it is more common to be seen as a Juice. It also makes a delicious ice cream topping!

Noni grows primarily in the forests, however it will also grow in rock or sandy shores. It takes roughly 18 months for a plant to reach full maturity, where it will reach heights of 9m. The leaves of the plant have a dark green color and shiny texture. A typical plant will yield between 4-8 kg of fruit every month, all year. The immature fruit is dark green in color and becomes yellow and lightens as it ripens.

The noni fruit is an excellent form of carbohydrates and dietary fiber; it is also a good source of vitamin C and niacin. It does contain higher levels of potassium; this may need to be considered in people that need to watch their potassium intake.

What is it about this plant, and its juice, that is causing all the fuss? Well the biggest claims are that noni juice could cure, treat or even prevent disease. Some claim says that the Tahitian Noni juice has been shown to maintain existing healthy levels of cholesterol.

Many studies are underway to prove these claims. Researchers have preformed tests on animals and laboratory experiments, proving that the consumption of this juice or products made from the raw plant have beneficial effects. Human testing is now under way.

There is a large emphasis by Doctors today encouraging us to keep our hearts healthy. One of the studies show that drinking 3-4 ounces of Tahitian Noni Juice every day will maintain your normal cholesterol at its existing levels. For many people news prompted them to drink this juice daily to help keep their cholesterol in check.

Noni Juice is available both online and in a number of retailers. With more becoming available every day. With benefits that are so promising, there is no reason to wait to starting drinking and to start sharing the Noni Juice! - 15683
