Monavie For A Healthy and Active Life Style
What Is Monavie? Monavie is a nutritional product with the greatest variety and balance of antioxidants and phytonutrients needed to support a healthy and active lifestyle. It is a blend of 19 fruits from the rain forest tested for their nutritional value. They are: cranberry, bilberry, white grape, passion fruit, camu camu, nashi pear, banana, wolfberry, acerola, apricot, pomegranate, pear, prune, lychee fruit, aronia, kivi, purple grape, blueberry and acai berry. The main ingredient is the acai (ah-sigh-ee) berry from the acai palm in the lush rain forest of South America and has a complete complement of nutrients making it the perfect foundation for the Monavie juice blend. Because of its superior antioxidant and nutrient content, the acai berry is regarded as the world’s most healthy and nutrient-dense fruit. How Antioxidants Work Our bodies are composed of billions of molecular cells held together by an electronic bond. Sometimes these molecules have a weak bond and split apart becoming an unstable molecule with an unpaired electron. This molecule is known as a free radical. Some free radicals occur normally with metabolism, but other causes are drugs, pollution, radiation, smoking and herbicides. Other factors are stress, lack of sleep and lack of exercise. Free radicals begin attacking nearby healthy cells in an attempt to replace missing electrons. When these healthy cells lose their electrons, they become free radicals themselves causing a chain reaction called OXIDATIVE STRESS which is a factor in arthritis, early aging, edema or leg swelling, hardening of arteries and increased susceptibility to some cancers. To prevent oxidative stress, the process of ANTIOXIDATION is achieved through the use of antioxidants. The antioxidant molecules give off their electrons to stop this chain reaction, but do not become free radicals them- selves. How do we get antioxidants? By eating fruits and vegetables! Five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables per day were recommended, but now many nutritionists recommend 7 to 9 servings (more pollution, stress, etc.). How many people meet these requirements? Scientists have developed a test called OXYGEN RADICAL ABSORBANCE CAPACITY test or ORAC score for various fruits and vegetables. The results are as follows: Broccoli------------130 Wild cherry---------260 Red raspberry---210 Tomato----------------60 Cherry---------------100 Acai berry----------1027 (the main Ingredient in Monavie, pronounced ah-sigh-ee) Acai is 500-1000% more powerful in oxygen absorbency than any other fruit. 100 fruits were tested before 19 were selected as Monavie ingredients. Scientists recommend a diet containing 3000-5000 ORAC units per day which equals the amount in 7 to 9 servings of fruit and vegetables. You get the recommended amount of ORAC units with a 2 oz. serving of Monavie in the morning and evening. Monavie was never intended to treat, prevent or cure diseases. Its function is to improve health and your sense of well being. This information comes from Black Diamond University.com.
