What To Look For When Buying Noni
Carefully aged Noni juice should have a smooth, slightly acidic flavour. Even though flavour is not the main reason that people choose to use Noni juice, most people acquire a taste for it after time. If the flavour of well-aged, high quality Noni juice is just too much to handle, there is always the option […]
Fighting Heart Disease
The latest statistics available for global deaths from cardiovascular disease is from 2004, and that was scary enough. 16.7 million people worldwide died of cardiovascular disease in 2004. 8.6 million of these were women, with heart attack and stroke deaths responsible for twice as many deaths in women than all cancers combined. The WHO estimates […]
Stress
Stress describes a person’s physical or emotional response to demands or pressures they may experience in life, with common sources of stress including work, finances, relationships or illness. Stress can be a positive thing, helping an individual to grow, develop and be stimulated and take action. However, if stress exceeds a persons ability to cope, […]
Noni History
Noni was first discovered and used by man long before recorded history in South Asia and the subcontinent, when ancient Indian scientists began examining the world to find plants good not only for food, but to treat disease and ill health. Noni was noted to be a balancing agent, stabilising mankind in perfect health.

Studies & Statistics
I was reading an article in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago that stated that a study had shown that people who floss their teeth regularly live longer than people who don’t floss their teeth at all. How bizarre! Does flossing one’s teeth mean one enjoys a longer life?
Dying To Work
New Zealand’s Sunday Star-Times newspaper recently published an article on a study undertaken at Massey University’s Centre for Public Health Research. The investigators had found that tens of thousands of New Zealanders are in jobs that put them at increased risk of cancer - but neither their doctors nor they know it.
They say work-related cancers […]
Noni and the Immune System
Inside our body is an amazing protection mechanism called the immune system. It is designed to defend us agains millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that would love to invade our body.
An immune system is a collection of mechanisms within an organism that protects against disease by indentifying and killing pathogens and tumour […]
Noni Juice and Energy Levels
A desire for more energy is one of the most common requests heard in doctor’s offices today. Lack of energy can be defined as exhaustion, weariness, sleepiness, fatigue, drowsiness of lethargy. We all feel like this from time to time, but sustained and on-going lack of energy is usually our bodies’ first warning that something […]
The Cost of Biofuels
This blog is unconnected to Noni, and not even connected to health matters, but I was reading an article in this mornings newspaper that got me thinking that no matter how hard we, as a human race, try to get things right, our ideas and therefore governing policies often swing wildly like a pendulum, and we can […]
Noni & Weight Management
In simple terms, we gain weight because our energy input exceeds our energy output – we eat more than we burn and this excess is stored as fatty deposits. But this conventional diet wisdom does not always hold true. Weight gain can also be caused by health conditions such as hypothyroidism, food sensitivity, organ disease, […]
