Have you had your NingXia Red today?

NingXia Red:

Wolfberries, eliminate the free radicals that causes DNA damage. Free radicals can damage both fats and proteins in the body. Fats are essential structural components of the cell membranes, especially in the cells of the eyes, liver, and brain. Proteins are the building block of the heart muscle and cellular DNA, the command-and-control center for cellular regeneration.
If the DNA becomes damaged, the cell losses control, mutates, and either self-destructs or grows out of control.

Also levels of long-chain polyunsaturated fats (ie., and DHA and EPA), are crucial building blocks of the brain, eyes, heart, and other organs. DHA occurs in unusually height concentrations in the cerebralcortex---the most advanced structure of the brain where logic and reasoning take place.
In 20-year-olds, levels of DHA are very high. But as their DHA becomes oxidized due to free radical attacks with advancing age, their cognitive powers dimish, hormone levels decline and immunity falters.

The body uses a battery of enzymes and antioxidants to maintain levels of DHA because it is so essential for the function of vital organs. But eventually so much DHA becomes oxidized or damaged that it surpasses the ability of the body to repair and replace it. By the time a person reaches age 70, DHA levels in the brain, eyes and heart are less than half those of a 20-year old's. This contributes to impaired vision, memory loss, dementia, arteriosclerosis and eventually death.

Ningxia Wolfberry research:
There are 3 ways that wolfberry can protect against cancer and premature aging:
1. Protects cells from DNA damage and mutations. As the highest know antioxidant food, the Ningxia wolfberry protects cellular DNA against mutations for ROS-reactive oxygen species (free radicals). Over a dozen studies have documented the wolfberry's clinical role in treating cancer.

It is believed that free radical caused, oxidative damage may be responsible for the steady mental decline in person with Down's syndrome.

Researchers are beginning to link the mental deterioration in Downs Syndrome with accelerated neuron death caused by free radicals. Akira Sawa, PhD, a scientist at Johns Hopkins, suggests that as reactive oxygen species attack the brain, neurons are forced to die off prematurely (known as accelerated apoptosis). As the cells are destroyed faster than the body's ability to replace them, the brain suffers worsening dementia, memory loss and eventually death.
Because there are Blueberries in the NingXia Red they help protect the brain also.

As one of the highest known antioxidant foods, blueberries are blessed with a unique profile of polyphenols that can protect the body from oxidative damage caused by aging and inflammation. The polyphenols found in blueberries are very different from those that occur in the Ningxia wolfberry and operate on a very different mechanism. Studies found at Tufts University show that blueberries protect the brain, heart, and liver against the oxidative damage that occurs with age.

Studies show that increasing dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, can retard and even reverse age-related declines in brain function and in cognitive and motor performance in rats.
Dr. Galli referred to the brain-protecting aspects of fruit extracts.

"Dietary supplementation with fruit or vegetable extracts high in antioxidants (e.g., blueberry)," can decrease this vulnerability to oxidative stress by reduction in neuronal signaling and behavioral deficits."
1. Strawberry and blueberry extracts also markedly increase brain levels of glutathione, a key sulfhydryl antioxidant that protects neurons from free radical attack and oxidative damage.
Dr. Bickfored concluded that "nutritional source of antioxidants are important for improving learning and memoryin aged animals and possibly in humans as well."
2. A second study by USDA showed after subjecting the animals to a battery of tests including rod walking, wire suspension, plank suspension, inclined screen, accelerating rotarod and the Morris water maze, Dr. Joseph found that the blueberry-supplemented animals far outperformed the control group. The animals displayed a noticeable improvement in both physical abilities and cognitive function. During the rotarod and rod-walking tests, the blueberry-fed animals resisted falling over 50% better than the control group.
3. Dr. Joseph conducted a third study that validated the potent antioxidant and brain-protecting ability of strawberry and blueberry extracts. He exposed laboratory animals to an atmosphere of 100% oxygen, which can accelerate neuron death in the brain and can mimic the cognitive declines that occur naturally with aging. Animals treated with fruit extracts exhibited far better cognitive function than unsupplemented controls following 48 hours of exposure to pure oxygen.

Ningxia Wolfberry: In the mid 1980's when biochemists at the Ningxia Institute of Nutrition analyzed the Ningxia wolfberry (which is called Goji Berry by Native Chinese and Lycium Barbarun L by botanists), they found that it was virtual vitamin capsule in the form of a fruit. Over 15% protein by weight, the wolfberry contains over 21 essential minerals, 18 amino acids, and substantial amounts of chromium. Levels of vitamins such as thiamin (vitamin B)niacin (vitamin B3), and vitamin C were extraordinarily high.

To confirm these results, we commissioned an independent lab in the United States to run another analysis: The results showed that:

Ningxia Wolfberry Nutrient Summary:
67 times the thiamin (vitamin B1) of brown rice
2 times the niacin (vitamin B3) of baker's yeast
3 times the vitamin C of raw oranges
5 times the calcium of raw cauliflower
2 times the beta carotene of raw spinach
Highest Known Source in Vitamins B1 and B3:

The Ningxia wolfberry is richest known whole food source of natural vitamin B1 or thiamin. Thiamin is essential for proper energy production, carbohydrate metabolism, and thyroid function. Thiamin deficiencies can result in impaired carbohydrate burning and a decline in the energy hormone thyrotropin. The wolf- berry also has 100 times the niacin (vitamin B3 as oat bran. Over two decades of research document the ability of niacin to support the heart.
Minerals: Key to long Life
Minerals truly are the "Cinderella's" of the nutrition world because vitamins cannot be utilized by the body nor be assimilated without the aid of minerals. Moreover, the human body cannot manufacture a single mineral (unlike vitamins, some of which the body can manufacture on its own).

Minerals perform a countless pivotal functions in the human body. Not only are they crucial to the electrolyte balance of our cells, which forms the foundation of health, but they also play essential roles in nerve conductions, muscle contraction, heart action, blood clotting, protein metabolism, bone and teeth formation, and enzyme activation. Every process of the body is dependent on minerals.

Minerals also constitute central components of some of the most powerful antioxidant compounds in the human body. The mineral Zinc is instrumental in the formation of superoxide dimutase (SOD), a key enzymatic antioxidant that declines with age. SOD is responsible for deactivating the most prevalent and dangerous free radical in the body; superoxide.

Calcium--Important for building bones; shown to help
reduce body fat and lower the risk of some cancers.
Chromium (trivalent)--part of the Glucose Tolerance Factor, it enhances insulin sensitivity and makes it easier for glucose to enter the cell
Magnesium--Reduces the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; treats depression and headaches.
Potassium--Lowers blood pressure and is associated with improved longevity.
Copper, Zinc, and Magnesium-- Essential for collagen development and blood vessel health; superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the most vital antioxidant enzymes in the body. The most important of these processes are cellular respiration, cellular utilization of oxygen, DNA and RNA reproduction, maintenance of cell membrane integrity, and sequestration of free radicals.

Balancing Minerals:
Minerals must be properly balanced. For example, excess dietary calcium or copper can result in a Zinc deficiency and poor immunity. Conversely zinc consumption in excess of 300 mg per day not only suppresses immunity but also contributes to copper depletion and anemia.
Both the mineral profile and mineral balance of the Ningxia wolfberry is without equal in the plant kingdom, with magnesium to calcium ratios at almost 1:1, zinc to copper ratios at 2:1 and potassium to magnesium rations at 8:1.
Potassium and Magnesium:
Wolfberries are also rich in potassium and magnesium.
A three-ounce serving of dried fruit contains nearly 1600 mg of potassium--which is quadruple the amount found in 3 oz. of fresh bananas, which is looked upon by many as a high potassium food.

Potassium is the single most important mineral to human health and longevity, being essential for normal electrolyte and pH balance within the cell. When excess sodium begins to accumulate in conjunction with a potassium deficit, this can result in hypertension (high blood pressure) and high blood sugar, both of which can lead to lowered GABA production and exert a dampening effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. This can directly contribute to subnormal growth hormone levels as we age.

Our potassium deficit becomes more lopsided as we grow older and the kidneys become less and less able to effectively retain potassium and excrete sodium from the body. Researchers have estimated kidney function declines by up to 75% between age 30 and 80.

A multi-year longitudinal study on aging clearly demonstrated that declining potassium levels are closely linked with signs of aging. Conducted over a period of nearly two decades, researchers followed 650 subjects and found that between age 40 and 60, potassium levels in the body dropped by over 13%.This decline in potassium levels, coincides closely with the decline in GABA and growth hormone levels, suggesting that declining GABA, growth hormone, and potassium levels may be linked.

Increasing your intake of potassium can potential slow the age-related decline of GABA and growth hormone,. The Ningxia wolfberry is the highest known, whole food source of whole food potassium.

Triple the Vitamin C of Raw Orange
Just 100 grams of dried Ningxia wolfberries contain well over double the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C (ascorbic Acid). The value of vitamin C for health has been well documented, with extensive research documenting its antioxidant and immune- enhancing properties..

There is a lot more info on the rest of the Nutrient that is in the Ningxia wolfberry Like High Protein(Powerhouse), Arginine, Fiber (the Staff of Life), More than Vitamin, Minerals, and Amino Acids, Carotenoids(Beta Carotene), Zeaxanthin and Lutein, Beta-caryptoxanthin, Polysaccharides (Anti-cancerous and immune-stimulating),Cerebrosides and Pyrroles(protects the liver),Ellagic Acid and Polyphenols (Anti-cancer and detoxifying properties).
One of toughest achievements in the development of superfood is creating a blend of juices that do not stimulate yeast and fungus overgrowth in the gastrointestinal system.

So by combining proven antifungal agents such as pomegranate with low-dextrose, low-glycemic, high-polysaccharides fruits such as Ningxia wolfberry, raspberries, and blueberries, here is a juice blend that would discourage the overgrowth of yeasts rather than promote them.

Can you imagine what this Drink can do for you??????
It has the ability to neutralize the super oxidized free radicals in the body. They are the most aggressive of all free radicals. That causes the body to age and disease to set in like cancer. By neutralizing the free radicals, our body will have the ability to boost the immune system and increase energy.

Dr. Hill (Administrator of the Young Life Research Clinic In Utah), states the "Wolfberry juice isn't a fruit drink; it is a super food. Nutritionally, it is very sound. It can have a great impact on your system almost immediately. What we are trying to encourage people to do at the clinic is to change their lifestyles. And change is much easier when you can incorporate a product that not only tastes good but also helps you change your lifestyle nutritionally. I would strongly recommend the use of wolfberry juice to everyone!!!!

Because of the history behind the Ningxia wolfberry it is recognized world wide.. It nourish the yin, supports the blood, helps support the kidneys and liver, strengthens the eyes, fortify the muscles and bones, enhance the "chi" or life force, and increases energy. From of the history of Ningxia wolfberry, it will be lot easier to market internationally because everyone knows the story behind the Ningxia wolfberry.

There are other species of wolfberries, but Young Living is the only company in United States that buys the Ningxia wolfberries. Other species have low antioxidants, Ningxia wolfberries has the highest.
Ningxia Red. Get this.... the benefits of out of just drinking 1 oz. of Ningxia Red you would need to have eat or drink:
4lbs carrots, 8 oranges, 2qts of carrot juice, 1 pint of orange juice, 2lbs of raw beets, 2 cups of beet juice, 3 cups of blueberries, and 2 cups of raspberries.
What could be better than that?!?!?
ONE OUNCE OF NINGXIA RED EQUALS ALL OF THAT COMBINED FOR ANTIOXIDANT POWER!!!!!!!!
