Noni - The Great Immune Enhancer

"All that man needs for health and healing has been provided by God in nature, the challenge of science is to find it." Paracelsus (1493-1541) 

Have you ever wondered why some people come down with the flu while others seem sail through the flu season without even so much as a sniffle? 
It all comes down to having a healthy, resilient immune response. 
It, therefore, goes without saying that the more you learn about your immune system and the many ways that you can enhance your immunity, the more your body is able to be protected from the inside. 
Your immune system is essential for life.   It is your main protection from sickness and disease.    The immune system is the major player in your body with the primary job of protecting you from susceptibility to all infections, viruses and bacteria alike. The tricky thing about your immune system is that isn’t found in just one place or one organ.  Your immune system is much more complicated since it is made up of a complex network of cells, chemicals, tissues and organs. 

Without a healthy immune system, you would be helpless to eliminate the harmful organisms and chemicals that enter your body or to neutralize harmful changes that occur inside your body. The main tasks of the body’s immune system include:

fighting disease-causing pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, and  removing them from the body

recognizing and neutralizing harmful substances from the environment

Fighting disease-causing changes in the body, such as cancer cells

Noni  - A Superfood for Immunity
A healthy immune system is the result of making healthy choices in your life. One key factor to support a health immune system is your nutrient status. It really goes without saying that eating a highly nutritious diet filled with fresh vegetables and a fruit provides  the necessary vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for health. Good nutrition is the healthy foundation for your immune system. 
Noni’s nutrient profile is most impressive because it is packed with the necessary nutrition that supports immunity.   It contains more than 165 health-promoting compounds and  phytonutrients that are a source of immune enhancing nutrients.  Noni’s rich assortment of vitamins, minerals include calcium, sulphur, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus,  selenium, amino acids, fatty acids, B3,  folate, carotene, vitamin A  and vitamin C. In addition,  it has powerful immune enhancing antioxidants, such as anthocyanins and  beta-carotene.
Additionally, the amino acids found in Noni are a big boost for the immune system.  Noni contains 17 amino acids, but the serine, arginine and methionine found in Noni are particularly useful in keeping the body strong.

Noni - An Immune Modulator
While being a strong force in your body, your immune system must  also be very delicate in its balance and function.  A healthy immune system needs to be appropriately responsive. It needs to go into action when it is alerted to the presence of pathogens or toxic substances.  But is also needs to have the ability to calm down after destroying the invaders.  When the immune system is too sluggish you may not be able to adequately  eliminate invading pathogens.  But when the immune system remains in action  mode, it could increase an inflammatory reaction and start attacking and harming your own cells and organs. This response is the origin of all autoimmune conditions. 

A healthy immune has the ability to modulate these two critical functions .  This allows it to respond appropriately to maintain homeostasis or balance within the body. Noni is a fantastic immune-modulator.  Research has shown that Noni juice intelligently supports a balanced immune system response. 

It has  proven to be effective in improving conditions that the immune system  directly impacts, which includes rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, cancer, auto-immune diseases (such as psoriasis, Hashimoto’s disease etc.) and chronic viral infections.
One component of Noni is called polysaccharides, which are known to enhance white blood cell efficiency and boost immune system functions. The fruit extracts have been studied for their ability to modulate immune response by activating  important immune cells, like T and B cells.
In a study entitled "Immunostimulant Activity of Noni (Morinda citrifolia) on T and B Lymphocyte”, it was demonstrated that Noni extracts significantly increased the cell-mediated immune response and it was concluded that, "The results of this study confirm the cellular and humoral immunostimulant properties of M. citrifolia fruits and justify its usage in traditional medicine.”

Noni fruit contains very high amounts of polysaccharide long chain sugars. The juice concentrate is said to contain a third more polysaccharides than aloe vera, which is one of the highest polysaccharide-rich superfoods known in the plant world.
When it comes to supporting immunity, Noni was shown to have additional  immune -enhancing actions. Noni fruit was proven to stimulate lymphocytes, like natural killer cells. in a study published in the journal of Molecular and Clinical Oncology, Noni demonstrated antitumor activity.

Noni has even more constituents that exhibit certain effects on immune function by either defending against free radical damage and/or providing antibacterial characteristics that increase overall immune response.  It is extremely high in many beneficial compounds that give even greater power to your immune system including alkaloids, anti-oxidants, glycosides and polyphenols including xeronine, rutin, terpenes and anthraquinones.

Noni - Supports The Immune System in Other Ways

The healthy functioning of your gastrointestinal tract is an essential part for resistance to  potentially harmful pathogens and toxins since 80 percent of your immune system resides there! Noni is a great healer of the gastrointestinal tract.  In addition to Noni’s ability to improve absorption of nutrients from your food, the daily use of Noni helps to stimulate the release your important digestive enzymes. Noni can also speed up transit through your digestive tract because it has a gentle laxative effect and supports healthy regularity. A slow transit time creates a build up of toxins and bad bacteria that weaken immunity

Stress can quickly compromise your immune system.  Drinking Noni juice has been proven to reduce stress in many ways. It boosts the health of  all the systems of the body.  This benefit translates into a sense of wellbeing, calmness, balanced hormones, sustained energy, reduced inflammation and pain, and improved mental focus.

Deep sleep is especially essential for immune health. As a traditional medicine, Noni was renown as an herbal cure for insomnia. It contains two sleep-inducing neurotransmitters, melatonin and serotonin. Each one is necessary to promote deep, restorative sleep. However, when both are produced, they become an even more powerful antidote to insomnia. 
Regular exercise can strengthen your immune system and lower your risk of respiratory infection by more than 40 percent. Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to support the immune system.  But it’s hard to do even do 15 minutes of exercise if our energy is low and we feel pain in our joints.  Studies demonstrated that Noni juice had a profound impact on physical endurance as well as reducing pain and inflammation by increasing stamina, reducing free-radical production thus protecting against oxidative stress and potential DNA damage, as well as enhancing aerobic performance by increasing oxygen levels. 

There is no doubt that depression and anxiety weaken the immune system and cause increased susceptibility to illness. Noni fruit proved that it is a natural remedy for anti-depression and anti-anxiety.  In fact, Noni also increased an over-all sense of well-being.  If you want to lift our mood and generate inner peace to insure optimal health, think Noni juice!

Our lifestyle has a huge impact on optimal immune health. The best ways to support a healthy immune system include reducing excessive stress, meditate, breathe deeply, do moderate exercise on a regular basis, get restful sleep, eat a nutritious diet, and find time to be in nature.
When you are faced with situations that can compromise your immunity such as stress or the flu season, it is time to double down on building a healthy, responsive immune system. The truth is that your body was created to support your health at all times.  If you want to insure that your immune system will be in tip-top shape, then it makes sense to include Noni as part of your daily health regime. With the help of a daily glass of Noni juice, all the systems of the body are primed to work at their very best. If you want proven immune support to help you thrive, then never be without the immune power of Noni juice!
