Know Your Antixodants And Why You Can’t Live Without…..

During normal biological processes inside our bodies, unstable molecules – free radicals – are created. They attack every cell and damage the biological structures made of lipids, proteins and genetic material. Free radicals steal electrons from other molecules, in this process damaging them and creating new free radicals.

Free Radicals or oxidants (electron thieves) attack all cells, work against our various tissues, impact the immune system (our guardian against infections and cancer) and play a major role in the development of all chronic degenerative diseases

Antioxidants produced by the body and supplied by food have to act promptly to stop the harm inflicted by free radicals at all levels. Antioxidants donate electron-starved free radicals, thus rendering them tamed and stable.

Moringa contains antioxidants such as the carotenoids ( lutein, beta-carotene, xanthins ), vitamins (C, E and A), minerals (selenium) and other phytochemicals (quercettin, rutin and caffeoylquinic acids).

Complex mixtures of naturally occurring antioxidants from plants are the most effective and beneficial protectors against oxidation and aging of the tissues.

Diets including plenty of greens, vegetables, fruits and seeds have been linked with the serious health benefits and a much lower incidence of various diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Moringa and Zija

Q: What is Moringa oleifera?

A: Moringa oleifera is the most
nutrient-rich plant yet discovered. This humble plant has been making
strides in less-developed societies for thousands of years, and significant nutritional research has been conducted since the 1970s.
Moringa provides a rich and rare combination of nutrients,
amino acids, antioxidants, antiaging and anti-inflammatory properties
used for nutrition and healing.

Q: Is Moringa safe?

A: In underdeveloped countries, health
organizations and clinics distribute Moringa to infants, children, pregnant and lactating women. Moringa is sometimes called “Mother’s Best Friend” and “Miracle Tree.” Since 1998, the World Health Organization has promoted Moringa as an alternative to imported food supplies to treat malnutrition.

Q: What scientific studies support Moringa?

A: In the last ten years, hundreds of research articles, theses, reports, and patents have been published on Moringa. Newspapers, scientific journals, documentaries (Discovery Channel) feature Moringa more and more. The Church World Service recently organized the first ever Moringa Tree International Conference to educate about Moringa’s use as an indigenous resource for fighting hunger and malnutrition.

Q: Is Moringa safe to take with medications?

A: We are not aware that any negative interactions have occurred. But again, please consult your doctor if you have health concerns.

Q: Is Moringa oleifera genetically modified?

A: No, Moringa is one of few beneficial plants NOT genetically modified (GM). Today, alarmingly there are thousands of GM plants. Recent news reports confirm research brought
to the media several years ago, that in animal studies a diet rich in GM corn fed to animals caused them to develop abnormalities to internal organs and changes to their blood. These studies raise fears that human health could be affected by eating GM food. In Dr. Monica
G. Marcu’s book, “Miracle Tree”, (published by KOShealthpub.com), she outlines the current health concerns of GM corn and soy as the modern day health hazard, especially among infants, and Moringa is a superior replacement, unblemished by GM as it delivers supreme nutrition to all ages.

Q: What is the best book or reference I can get on Moringa oleifera?

A: The most recent publication on Moringa oleifera is by Dr. Monica Marcu, “Miracle Tree”, which is said to be the definitive reference. Early reviews call Marcu’s book the leading reference on Moringa as she takes her clinical and analytical laboratory experience and gives the health-conscious reader understanding on a majority of Moringa’s wealth of nutrients. She also covers Moringa’s history, re-discovery, nutrients, benefits, and
traditional cures and modern uses. The information presented goes in-depth on the value of Moringa’s nutrients and amazing phytochemical compounds which only a “cold-blooded” scientist could examine.

Q: Is Moringa’s dried leaf powder more potent than fresh Moringa leaf?

A: When you take a delicate Moringa leaf and carefully shade dry it – amazing things happen. There is significantly higher nutritional value in the Moringa dried leaf, in some cases over ten times in specific nutrients when compared to fresh Moringa leaf. Many universities and independent research laboratory analyses have confirmed the higher nutritional values in the dried leaf powder. Looking at the label of Zija, you’ll see that we use both Moringa fresh leaf and dried leaf, in addition to the fruit and seed cake. What’s more amazing is the gram for gram comparison of Moringa to common fruits and vgetables. The nutritional values of Moringa’s many vitamins, minerals, amino acids, chlorophyll, and anti-aging compounds are higher than it’s own fresh leaves.

Can XM3 Capsule help me achieve my fitness and weight management goals?

An ancient Asian saying states that, “In every disaster there is opportunity”. Today’s health disasters like obesity, poor diet, decreased exercise levels, and lack of energy, are well document­ed. XM3 capsule is a safe and natural solution that provides authentic energy, appetite control and pure nutrition benefits.

Is XM3 safe and Legal?

XM3 is legal under FDA regulations because it does not contain the alkaloids restricted by the Food and Drug  Administration.  In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of ephedrine alkaloids in Dietary supplements. Some known species of the Ephedra palnt contain ephedrine alkaloids.

These banned alkaloids present in the old Ephedra products termed NON-SELECTIVE, beta agonists.. This meant they fired all the neuro (brain function) and cardiovascular (heart rate and blood pressure) receptors throughout the body.

With Xm3, the qualities of Ephedra that so many people enjoyed are now safely delivered in a complete legal, and delicious lifestyle beverage without any of the negative side effects that come from the banned alkaloids found in other types of Ephedra

The proprietary blend of ingredients in XM3 includes the key combination of extracts and xanthines known to increase your body’s natural calorie burn. This generates heat in a process called thermogenesis, and enables you to potentially lose unwanted fat. Moringa Company  proprietary blend is also shown to enhance endurance, increase mental focus and help you power through your exercise program. XM3 Capsules can help you avoid the pitfalls of so many diet plans. Remember, the key to any weight loss strategy and fitness plan is staying with a sensible diet and sustainable exercise program. XM3 was formulated to help you reach your lifestyle goals. 

The new XM3 Capsules has proven to be phenomenal in the initial focus groups. In combination with a healthy lifestyle and diet, this system could be the key to putting your body in balance.

How many of the people you know think they should lose a few pounds? How many are actually overweight or actually obese? What if they had a system in place that helped them track their success, and informed others—possibly even prospects—of their success?. Read more about  Moringa XM3 Products

Who Else Is Considering Natural Skin Care Supplements?

With the number of natural skin care supplements out on the market today, it’s easy to get distracted by a clever marketing ploy or be overwhelmed by information.

If you’re considering taking a supplement be sure you do your own research before you actually make the decision to purchase. Carefully research each product and if possible talk to other individuals who have personally used the supplement you are considering. You’ll quickly discover whether a product is legit or not.

The force behind this anti-aging boom is the routine of applying and reapplying topical agents. However, these topical remedies for sagging skin are not permanent as the skin regenerates itself every 28 days, requiring continued use of topical agents to maintain their effectiveness.

A more natural way to support skin health, without the dermabrasion and chemical peels of topical agents, is with Cytokinins.  Cytokinins are plant hormones that promote cellular growth and delay the aging process.  Cytokinins stimulate cell division, delay the aging and destruction of tissues, protect against cell oxidation, and postpone cell death.  Studies are now showing that the potent, protective, anti-aging effects of Cytokinins work the same way in human skin.   When the diet includes these plant nutrients, the body as a whole can fight aging, starting at the cellular level. The most potent Cytokinin is Zeatin.

The study also found that Zeatin increases the activity of some antioxidant enzymes counteracting the free radical-induced oxidative damage incurred during cell aging. Zeatin protects the skin. When human skin cells are nourished with Zeatin, they retain their functions longer and are more resistant to environmental stresses.”

Found in most plants,Zeatin is more abundant in one plant than any other, Moringa Oleifera.  Moringa  not only contains thousands of times more Zeatin than any other known plant, it is also the most nutritious plant discovered to date with over 90 nutritional compounds, including 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatories.

Dr. Monica Marcu, Pharm. PhD, concurs, “Cytokinins have proven to delay biochemical modifications associated with aging in culture human cells.  Zeatin protects the skin. When human skin cells are nourished with Zeatin, they retain their functions longer and are more resistant to environmental stresses.”

Dr. Lydia Marero, of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), also believes Moringa could be the new anti-aging alternative.   Dr. Marero says, “Because of its high content of vitamins A, C, and E, which are very potent antioxidants, Moringa is a very good quencher of unstable free radicals that can react with the damage of molecules that cause aging”.

This may be in part due to ozone depletion which seems to be leaving us more vulnerable to damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This radiation causes formation of highly reactive “free radicals” within our bodies, damaging our cells in ways that increase the chance for cancer to develop. The best defense against the free radical damage of oxidation is a diet rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals (and plenty of water!). Research suggests that certain antioxidants—vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene rich foods)—nourish and protect skin to extend its youthful appearance.

Zija Moringa Company – Why I Joined

After sifting and sorting thru dozens of opportunities during this time I was able to find a company and team who had what I felt like were the key components in place.

 The owner, Ken Brailsford, was a proven leader in the industry.having built a huge organization of thousands of distributors he knew exactly the kind of company people would be looking for. He also surrounded himself with a first class management team as well. It’s vital that the field and management team work together.

 The other two things that caught my attention were the Product- Moringa Plant and the compensation plan. Zija has put in place to get started in the business. Right now in this struggling economy,I feel this is exactly what the industry needs.

I know how it feels to get enrolled in a company after hearing all the promises of support and systems and then to be left all alone to figure it out on your own. I mean,that might be the most helpless feeling a distributor can have right?

I decided Before I became part of any team I had to know without a doubt that I could bring people in to a place where they would have a step by step system to follow,great internet marketing training,and a support system who would be there to answer there questions in a timely manner.I just wasn’t going to be part of anything that didn’t have these things already in place.

 I do a lot of researching before I get involved with something so I looked at numerous teams and what they had to offer. I can tell you without exception,  that this team is head and shoulders above any of the others that I looked at.it’s incredible at how much information is available to team members and how simple it is to follow. If you want to stand out from the crowd on the internet, their internet marketing training is the training you need to have.

Don’t Like Fish, How do I get my Omega-3 and 6 ?

Fish, It is a top source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show reduce blood pressure-and the risk of heart attack. But what if you just like its flavor? A study in England holds out hope that you can get nearly as much benefit from plant foods, which contain alpha-linolenic acid , a substance that your body converts into Omega-3s . The best sources of alpha-linolenic acid? Walnuts,flaxseed, tofu, and canola, soybean oils .

Moringa contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Researchers have discovered at least 19 specific nutritional compounds in Moringa Oleifera to benefit cardiovascular and heart health. Moringa’s heart healthy nutrients include Alpha-carotene, Beta-carotene, Beta-sitosterol, Carotenoids, Chlorophyll, Cystine, EFAs, Flavonoids, Glutathione, Methionine, Niacin, Niaziminins A & B, Quercetin, Selenium, Vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, E.

Moringa also includes an impressive amount of 25 supreme antioxidants to prevent free radical damage. Destroying free radicals may help fight cancer, heart disease and stroke, researchers believe.

Diamond Agro Industry: Investment on Moringa

Moringa olifera, besides meeting humans and animals nutritional needs, as has been studied by international medical researchers, it can cure 200 different diseases, says Mr. Habte Arefayne, General Manager of Diamond Agro Industry.

Taking its myriad uses in nutritional and medicinal sectors inconsideration and as it grows best in arid conditions and a drought-tolerant plant, the investment is recommendable, he added. Moringa can be cultivated in most of Eritrea’s arable land, hence if the investment has taken seriously, Eritrea can have a share in the exportation of Moringa products to regional and international markets, he notes.

Moringa: Nature’s Medicine Cabinet

Malunggay as it is called in the Philippines, and “Moringa” in English, is now eyed by the Department of Agriculture to take the center stage in the reduction of malnutrition and poverty in the country.

Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was “pleased to hear about the use of nutritious indigenous vegetables like Malunggay which we are using extensively for our School feeding program” during the opening of tradeshow. Aqualink 2008 is the country’s most prestigious annual trade show on the agribusiness, food and aquaculture.

Many Asians use the leaves of Moringa like spinach and also the fruit it produces as a vegetable, like asparagus. Malunggay is best known as an excellent source of nutrition and natural energy booster. For centuries, people in India, Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand, have been eating these leaves as a part of their food.

Scientific evidence shows that has been known for thousands of years by people in the tropical parts of the  world.

University laboratories around the world have studied Moringa’s ability to purify water…attaching itself to harmful material and bacteria, and allowing them to be expelled as waste.

Other health benefits identified by people who use Moringa continue this same pattern: immune system strengthened, skin condition restored, blood pressure controlled,  headaches and migraines handled, diabetes sugar level managed, inflammations and arthritis pain reduced, turmors restricted and ulcers healed. Scientifically speaking , Moringa sounds like magic. It can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and enable malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby.

Moringa as a remedy for Insomnia

The Moringa leaf is comparatively an unheard name in spite of the fact that it has been found mentioned more than two thousand years before, and the World Health Organization has been observing and utilizing the tree for more than forty years now as a cheap health supplement in the poverty-stricken countries the world over.

There is a reason behind this. The selling of all kinds of health supplements, minerals and vitamins is a lucrative business. No big company would ever take the risk of introducing a name that could potentially harm and lower the sale of all other nutritional items. The same holds water for the pharmaceutical countries too. These huge companies would prefer to keep the general public in the dark about the benefits of the Moringa leaf to make big bucks for their own.

“I had an interesting testimony from a friend visiting Belize from the U.S.A.  She has been suffering from Insomnia for a number of years and had been taking antidepressants and Insomnia medication for years.  I gave her a cup of Moringa Tea made from the fresh green leaves and she slept through the night WITHOUT any medication.  When she awoke, she stayed awake for a short while and went back to sleep for another 2 hours.  She gave God thanks for letting her get a ‘cure’ for her Insomnia while visiting Belize.”

Who Else Is Looking For The Right Weight Loss Diet Supplements?

A question often asked by those looking to lose a few extra pounds is whether or not weight loss diet supplements actually work. The Answer? Well, it’s both yes and no. Here’s why….

The market today is so saturated with junk products people are often lured by savvy marketing. While it’s great for business, it’s not so great for you the end user. Far too often do I see people who unfortunately make a purchase based on impulse. Shortly after they quickly realize they were suckered into the latest and greatest “FAD”, totally wasted their money, and most importantly never experienced the results they were anticipating.

If you choose to use weight loss diet supplements be sure you do your homework. Research the company, read testimonials, if possible talk to actual product users and ask them about their experience. Don’t be fooled by only good testimonials supplied by the company, take time and be sure you talk to actual users. Weigh the pros and cons of each testimonial. Make sure you also research any complaints that may have been compiled against the particular supplement you are considering.

Try to understand the ingredients in the product. Since there are so many, this step is critical because taking the wrong weight loss diet supplements could actually do you more harm than good, it may even kill you! I don’t want to scare you but you should take the time to understand what side effects could occur so you know what to expect. Don’t get suckered in by some marketing lure, take your time and be sure you are getting a product that will work.

Look at the history of the company, do they offer some type of NO hassle guarantee? If you want to truly measure whether or not you are going to see results, look for a company that has a 60 or 90 day money back guarantee. That will give you ample time to try out the product and most importantly see results. I would stay away from any product that does not have a guarantee associated with it. By offering a guarantee it tells you that the company is serious enough to stand behind its product and it’s more than likely going to give you the results that you are looking for. At that point your risk is reduced to zero and it’s all up to the weight loss diet supplements to do the rest.

Weight loss diet supplements can and will work, when you’re using the correct ones. Above all, be sure you take the time to properly educate yourself about the products that you are considering. Don’t get scammed by the latest and great pill that promises to do incredible things for you. It will give you a sense of false hope and you will only be let down. Ultimately with careful selection you’ll not only be able to shake off a few extra pounds but you’ll be able to keep it off and never have to fear it coming back on.

Wellness Basics

Wellness as a concept is not new. It is based on the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Yet with today’s advanced health care, less than 1% of all health care costs are spent on prevention. We tend to fix our health once we have a problem, rather than prevent the problems from happening in the first place. But that type of thinking is starting to change. Wellness programs are becoming increasingly popular. The primary reasons are two fold.

Lifestyle

First, is quality of life. In our society, we all lead busy lives. Many of us don’t get the exercise we need and the proper nutrients to help our bodies function at optimum levels. The evidence is overwhelming that people focused on wellness lead, more happy and fulfilled, and effective lives. They feel better, work better, and play better.
Cost
Second, as health care costs rise, so do corporate expenses and our own personal expenses. Health care coverage trends all indicate that as costs rise, benefits decrease, leaving us, as individuals to cover more of our health care costs on our own. Wellness programs help save both us and our employer money. Wellness means prevention, and it also means we have more say in our own health care.
Consumer Driven Wellness
As we take responsibility of our own health, we improve the quality of our lives and save money. Why? There are a few reasons. For example, 40% of all health care expenses could be avoided. As we learn more about our health and what alternatives we have, we make better choices. That includes lifestyle choices such as the amount of exercise we get and the foods we eat. It also involves preventive measures, such as inexpensive dietary supplement use rather than expensive medications.
Education is Vital
A crucial element of taking more responsibility for our own health is education. The online learning found in this site including the health library and the wellness newsletters will help you with everything from how to talk with your doctor to strategies for relieving stress at work. Make sure to take advantage of the great resources that are provided for you here.
About Supplements
Dietary Supplements are also an important aspect of wellness. Research has shown that when supplement use increases, the use of prescription drugs goes down. That not only saves each of us money, it also means we are leading healthier, happier lives.
It’s Up to Each of Us

We’ve provided this Online Wellness Center as a benefit to provide access to great information and products concerning our health. It is our hope we’ll all take the time to use these resources to better our lives. Please look through the site and use what’s here. After all, having good health affects not only ourselves, but those we love as well. Thanks

Additionally, Moringa has been shown to bring relief from the ravages of HIV and AIDS, malnutrition and diseases caused by bad water, bad food and environmental toxins.

In the final chapter of the Holy Bible, Revelations 22:1-2-3, there is a promise of this Savior, and I quote:

“And he showed me a pure river of water of life. . .

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side

of the river, was there a Tree o Life which bare

twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every

month; and the leaves of the tree were for the

healing of the nations…

And there shall be no more curse.

 

Medicinal Values of Moringa : Moringa oleifera starting with the Leaves:

v     Leaves:  relieve headaches, expel worms, relieves swelling, heals skin diseases, inflammation of the eyes and ears, bronchitis and inflammation of  mucous membranes, scurvy and increase milk production in lactating women

v     In laboratory tests the leaf extract of Moringa (Nebedaye) lowers blood sugar within three hours, heals stomach ulcers, is a powerful muscle relaxant, reducing blood pressure and causing sleep.  Also in laboratory tests, juice extract from leaves and bark have shown antibacterial and antiviral properties, and show strong activity against the tuberculosis bacteria.

Leaves of Moringa can substitute for meat, soy bean products or dairy products as the leaves have a complete compliment of amino acids, the complete protein that is needed in human nutrition for good health.

Ounce per Ounce leaves of Moringa oleifera:

Amino Acids

 

Can’t Live Without Them

 

 

Amino Acids are the “building blocks” of protein, which form almost all lean muscle mass. Twenty amino acids have the capability of forming as many as 100,000 kinds of protein. The problem is, of these 20 amino acids, only 11 are synthesized naturally within the body. The nine remaining essential amino acids must be provided by certain types of food and absorbed through the intestinal tract.

Three of these essential types, known as “branched-chain” amino acids, contribute to muscle building and serve as a vital source of energy and endurance that are so important to our bodies. They also repair muscle damage caused by physical activity and reduce soreness by inhibiting the production of lactic acid.

The Moringa in Zija is packed with all 20 amino acids which are highly absorbable and absolutely crucial to removing harmful toxins, strengthening the immune system and bulding good health.

One thing is certain – you can take measures to stack up these much needed building blocks for better nutrition. For example, Moringa provides all the key amino acids 100% naturally. Unlike amino acids derived from other sources, your body readily absorbs those provided by Zija. They start working almost immediately to refuel your energy and sharpen your mental focus. That’s what we call drinking life in!

Essential Amino Acids Found In Zija

Here’s a list of the complete range of naturally occurring amino acids found in Zija and a brief explanation of why our bodies require them:

ISOLEUCINE builds proteins and enzymes and it provides ingredients used to create other essential biochemical components in your body, some of which promote energy and stimulate the brain to keep you alert.

LEUCINE works with isoleucine to build proteins and enzymes which enhance your body’s energy and alertness.

LYSINE insures your body absorbs the right amount of calcium. It also helps form collagen used in your bone cartilage and connective tissues. And lysine aids in the production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes. Recent studies have shown lysine improves the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth.

METHIONINE primarily supplies sulfur to your body. It is known to prevent hair, skin, and nail problems while lowering cholesterol levels as it increases your liver’s production of lecithin. Methionine reduces liver fat and protects the kidneys, which reduces bladder irritation.

PHENYLALAINE produces the chemical needed to transmit signals between your nerve cells and your brain. It can help keep you alert, reduce your hunger pains, plus improve your memory and your mood.

THREONINE is an important part of collagen, elastin, and enamel proteins. Not only does it assist metabolism, threonine helps prevent fat build-up in the liver while boosting your body’s digestive and intestinal tracts.

TRYPTOPHAN supports your immune system, alleviates insomnia, reduces anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of migraine headaches. It also is beneficial in decreasing the risk of artery and heart spasms as it works with lysine to reduce cholesterol levels.

Other Amino Acids Found In Zija
 

 

These non-essential amino acids, which can be manufactured by your body with the help of proper nutrition, are also found abundantly in Zija:

ALANINE is important when it comes to building energy in your muscle tissue, brain, and central nervous system. It strengthens your immune system by producing antibodies. Alanine also helps in the healthy metabolism of sugars and organic acids in your body.

ARGININE has been shown in studies to cause the release of the growth hormones considered crucial for optimal muscle growth and tissue repair. It also improves immune responses to bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells while promoting the healing of your body’s wounds.

ASPARTIC ACID helps rid your body of ammonia created by cellular waste. When the ammonia enters your circulatory system it can act as a highly toxic substance which can damage your central nervous system. Recent studies have also shown that aspartic acid may decrease fatigue and increase endurance.

CYSTINE functions as an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the body in protecting against radiation and pollution. It can help slow the aging process, deactivate free radicals, and neutralize toxins. It also aids in protein synthesis and presents cellular change. It is necessary for the formation of new skin cells, which aids in the recovery from burns and surgical operations.

GLUTAMIC ACID is food for the brain. It improves mental capacities, helps speed the healing of ulcers, reduces fatigue, and curbs your sugar cravings.

GLYCINE promotes the release of oxygen required in the cell-making process. It is also important in the manufacturing of hormones responsible for a strong immune system.

HISTIDINE is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, ulcers, and anemia. A lack of histidine may lead to poor hearing.

SERINE is important in storing glucose in the liver and muscles. Its antibodies help strengthen your body’s immune system. Plus, it synthesizes fatty acid sheaths around nerve fibers.

PROLINE is extremely important for the proper function of your joints and tendons. It also helps maintain and strengthen heart muscles.

TYROSINE transmits nerve impulses to your brain. It helps overcome depression; improves memory; increases mental alertness; plus promotes the healthy functioning of the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands.
