Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi, My name is Paula. I used to have swelling and pain in my joints and thought I would have to quit my job. I was on medication for this, but it didn't help and had bad side effects that made me tired all the time. I started using a nutritional beverage and after a month my pain and swelling were gone. It has been a year now and I still have no pain or swelling. I also have not had a cold or sinus infection in a year. Do you get enough fruits and vegetables in your diet? Monavie is a nutritional beverage composed of 19 nutrient dense fruits. The primary fruit is the Acai berry from the Amazon rain forest. The other fruits provide specific health benefits, phytonutrients and antioxidants. The fruits are from the four corners of the world. All of the fruits are grown in the wild, not commercially grown. What is unique about the Acai berry? It is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids (omega 3/6/9), essential amino acids, low on glycemic index, protein profile similar to an egg, more than 30 times antioxidants of red wine. Why are anti-oxidants important? Nutritional degradation of commercially grown fruit is storage methods, soil conditions, pesticides. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) measure a food's effectiveness in fighting free radicals. ORAC scores are blueberries = 92, cranberries = 94 per gram, acai berry is 1,027 per gram. Freeze drying process. It is processed in 24 to 48 hours to retain nutritional value. Why are anti-oxidants important? Free radicals caused by environmental factors and diet, latch on and mutate healthy cells and damage DNA. Uncontrolled free radical activity causes chronic inflammation and is linked to many modern world diseases. Anti- oxidants are scavenge free radicals before they can damage healthy cells and neutralize free radicals. Do you know anyone who might like to know more about this?
