What’s all the fuss about antioxidants? First they were thought to be bad for you but it turns out they are very good for you. They give your body many benefits like thinning your blood, stopping your arteries from getting clogged, helping with cholesterol and blood pressure, all which, help against many diseases like heart disease, heart attacks, strokes to name a few. Did you know you get antioxidants from fruit, grains, nuts,
juices, Moringa and many more sources. Did you know your body makes antioxidants?
There are amino acids, which your body gets from food such as Cysteine, that are great antioxidants.
But how important to your overall health are antioxidants? As you have read there are many great benefits from taking antioxidants but antioxidants are just one part of your total health. But due to there popularity lately, many people think that antioxidants is all you need to be healthy and this is not true. Amino acids are much more important for your overall health than antioxidants. Amino acids make all the cells, repair and build new muscle, help control almost every bodily function and help fight many illnesses and ailments. They have a much greater affect on your overall health than antioxidants. Not getting the right amount or combination of the amino acids you need is more detrimental to your body than not getting enough antioxidants. But if you get both your on your way to a much healthier body.
The truth is if a supplement contains too many fruit juices or extracts, it will be a very good source of antioxidants but it may also be over acidic which can have an adverse affect on you bodies PH. An out of wack PH can be more damaging to your body than getting an overabundance of antioxidants. When choosing any supplement, make sure it is balanced and does not contain too much of any thing. You know the old saying, “Too much of anything is not good for you”. Try to take a supplement that has antioxidants, amino acids, immune building and antibacterial properties, which is considered a more balanced supplement.

Poga Moonga Juice, Is it really true?
Poga Moonga Juice, Is it really true?
We all want to be healthy but eating right and getting the proper exercise is sometimes difficult because of our busy daily schedules. So many people look for supplements to help keep them healthy. All you need to do is watch TV for an hour and you’ll see a commercial for everything about your health. If you feel run down, try the new 4-hour energy drink! If you’re worried about catching the “bug” or a cold, they have commercials for that. Try the new “?”, stop the cold before you get it! Let’s be realistic, these quick fix gimmicks don’t really work. The fact is the only real way to get the energy you need, naturally, is to take a product like Moringa. Moringa is so amazing it will give you endless, natural energy all day, not just for a couple hours and there’s never any crashing, like normal energy drinks.
Then there’s the stuff they try to sell you promising to stop colds before you get them. The only way to stop a cold or a bug is to make sure your immune system is strong and you have all the natural antibiotics you need. This is what Aloe Vera does for you. It keeps your immune system strong and supplies you with antibiotics, naturally. When your immune system is low, it is easier to catch everything going around and even getting illnesses from things you already have in your body. My mother is 71 years old. She woke up one day with tremendous pain in her arm. She went to the doctor only to find out she had chicken pox. Can you believe a person can still get chicken pox, in this day and age? The doctor told her it has been in her body for years but only came out and affected her because her immune system was low. You can carry many things in your body but as long as your immune system is strong it won’t affect you and the older you get the weaker your immune system gets. That’s why elderly people have a hard time recovering from any illness. So, it is very important to keep your immune system strong.
After coming back from my vacation last week, one of the guys’s showed up for work coughing and sniffling. He had been sick all weekend. He had the latest bug going around. You know how that works. You get sick, and then you share it with everyone you come in contact with. The first thing you think is “stay away from me” I don’t want what you have. But, it never fails; you know your going to get it too. Then you’ll go home and get everyone else sick. But for the first time since I can remember, I didn’t catch it. I worked all week with him and still never got sick. Then I realized I have been taking Poga Moonga Juice for about 3 months now and the aloe vera has built my immune system up and was keeping it strong, that’s why I didn’t get sick. No new miracle pill being sold by the drug company, no flu shot, just good old aloe vera.
Remember when you were 20 years old and you never got sick. You could party all night and go to work the next day. Well, the older you get the more it changes for the worst. I’m 52 now and I know if I stayed up all night drinking and partying I would be pretty useless for a couple days. I know I would wake up in the morning after 2 hours sleep and feel like I was run over by a small truck. There would be no way I was going to work. I also noticed every year it seems I catch more colds, the flu and any bug going around. I also noticed I feel more run down, have less energy. But, now, only 3 months after taking Poga Moonga Juice, I feel healthier than I have in a long time. I sleep better, feel rested when I wake, am not as moody (just ask my wife), don’t catch every bug that comes around and have endless natural energy, all day long. All I know is there won’t be a day I don’t get my 3 oz fix in the morning. I don’t want this new healthy, feeling to ever go away. PogaMoongaJuice.com ”It’s Just Your Health”

Who else is “sick and tired, of being sick and tired”?
I remember how healthy I was when I was younger. I was strong, never got sick, could stay up all night and work the next day. But the older you get the more you realize it’s was all down hill from them days. Sure you want to believe things haven’t changed but realistically you know, you can’t stay up all night and work the next day. You have aches and pains you never had when you were younger. And you know it’s time to get the flu shot or you’ll probably caught that cold going around at work.
So, you try almost anything, to be healthier because you know things can only get worst with age. So you try to eat right, and get some exercise like your doctor recommends but it’s hard to follow that diet because you just lover those cookies and it’s hard to get to the gym every day because something always happens to prevent you from going. You feel like you don’t have the energy you use to have, you don’t sleep as well as you use to and now you have problems with your stomach and old age is just setting in. When you think about it, it’s really funny that we come into this world with no teeth, wearing a diaper, can ‘t even hold your head up by yourself and being pushed around in a stroller and then, 80 years later, we are the same.
You realize that the older you get the harder it is to recover from anything. You know this from your own experiences and seeing older people having to deal with it. I know an elderly woman who died because she feel and broke her hip and I also remember when I was 20 years old, I broke my ankle and got a cast and was back to work 2 days later. Here is my own personal experience. I am 52 years old and have been in construction for 25 years. I have lived in south Florida for the last 12 years. Winters are nice but summers are killer with very high humidity and temperatures. I always stayed in good shape and got plenty of exercise. I have broken a lot of bones over the years but always recovered quickly. Then 3 years ago, 2 days before Christmas, I was doing a roof and feel off. It was about 17 fell to the ground. Now I have fallen from that high before but never really got hurt bad, you know sprained ankles and stuff. But this time was different.
I knew the second time I tried to get up and couldn’t something was very wrong. I had ripped the ball out of my hip socket, fractured 4 vertebra in my lower back, chipped the socket in my hip and cut the ball in half. Yes, I actually cut the 3-inch ball where my leg connects to my hip right in half. The doctor considered my age and what shape I was in and decided to screw the ball back together instead of a hip replacement. It took 6 months for that bone to heal. He said I wouldn’t be able to do construction again and would have to find another job. Fast forward, 6 months later. After only 2 weeks of rehab I was walking again. Against my doctors wishes I went back to my job. You see I could not find another job that would replace the kind of money I made, so I had no choice.
But something was different. I could not deal with the heat and humidity like I did before the accident. I felt run down, always tired and didn’t sleep well. I started drinking energy drinks every morning along with coffee but by 10:30 I was sitting in my truck with the AC blowing on my face. I needed to find something to get back the feeling I had before the accident. So I tried every kind of natural stuff I could find because I never did like taking pharmaceutical drugs. I tried most of the stuff on the market today. Noni juice, Goji Juice, you name it but none of them helped. The finally I found something that amazes me too this day. I sleep better, I fell energized when I wake up and have unlimited natural energy all day. Now the heat and humidity doesn’t bother me, like it did before the accident.
I was so amazed with this stuff I gave it to most people I know and my family. I figured it could help them if helped me. Needless to say they all take it daily and it has helped them with many different ailments they suffered from. One takes it for controlling his cholesterol and high pressure. Another because it helps relieve the pain she has from her arthritis, another person takes it for his acid reflux and my aunt takes for her IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) which is the only thing that has helped her in 4 years. I have never seen one product positively affect the health of so many people. And they thank me every time I see them, what more could you ask for, than being able to help people you care about be healthier. All I can say id try it, and see for yourself. What do you have to loose but better health. You can always go back to your prescriptions you get from your doctor. But what if, what if, it is something that can truly change your health for the better. Poga Moonga Juice “Its Just Your Health”
