Sorry all for the long hiatus

between posts, but Ive gotten the hunger of late to get back here and talk some more about what ive been consuming.  Its actually very ironic, because a friend recently turned me on to a new energy drink, Noni Juice, and its really kicking my butt in a good way.  And the ironic part is, this writeup is a paid one from Noni Juice, who I am positive had no idea I was already on the stuff.

Like I was saying, I got turned on to this by a friend who knew I was kinda dragging lately due to a new job where I worked nights.  The next day I was pounding Mountain Dew, coffee and other heavily caffeinated drinks in an attempt to stay ahead of things and not feel so tired.  As most know, and I did too, the downside is the crash you get a couple hours afterwards.  So, I started on Noni Juice about 3 weeks ago and its really made a difference.

More about the juice itself.  I had to do a little digging but I found out that Noni has been drunk for over 1500 years in The Cook Islands, Hawaii, Tahiti and other Pacific islands.  It was also a common drink for early Polynesians, (and still is) as well as being very popular in India.  Actually, in early India, it was used for its healing properties.  Here is a quote about it in regards to healing I found that is really interesting.....

"The root was a cathartic and febrifuge (for lowering fever) agent. Juice from Noni leaves, rubbed over affected parts in gout patients, relieved their pain, the doctors of India said. And Noni leaves were used as a tonic, febrifuge, and healer of wounds and ulcers for healing. Noni fruit and juice was eaten and drunk by patients with throat complaints, spongy gums, leucorrhea (unusual menstrual bleeding), dysentery and sapraemia (blood poisoning by bacterial putrefaction)."

So, even though I don't see myself using it for any of that, Im more than happy to benefit from it anyway.  The full rundown of all the nutritional stuff can be found here.  Also, some of the health benefits are highlighted on this page.  I think the biggest one for me has been the increased body energy.  Im finding that im dragging much less as the day wears on and drinking almost no caffiene.  Not only is that good for my body, but it is also a relief to my wallet.  All those soda purchases can really add up!

So, head on over to the Noni Website and try them out for yourself.
