1. Noni?
2. Papaya?
3. Cranberry?
Answers: can you tell me the benifits, and what these drinks do?
1. Noni?
2. Papaya?
3. Cranberry?
Cranberry juice was first made by American settlers in 1683. It is a love it or hate it beverage. For those who like it, it has a number of health benefits. Let me share some of those.
Emulsifies Fat.
This is for all of you that have some excess fat to lose. According to Nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., Cranberry juice contains high levels of organic acids, which have an emulsifying effect upon fat deposits. She generally suggests it along with some flax seed or flax seed oil.
Urinary infections
When it comes to urinary tract infections caused by a strain of E coli bacteria, cranberry juice compounds may help. Some of the compounds in the juice block the bacteria from sticking to the cells in the body, so that the body can more easily flush the bacteria out.
Respiratory Infections
Study results in 2002 suggest that cranberry juice may inhibit a type of bacteria that is a common cause of ear and respiratory infections in children. This is according to researchers at the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
In this study it was found that cranberry juice can inhibit certain strains of Haemophilus influenzae, a type of bacteria found in the nose and throat of 75% of healthy children and adults. The bacteria can also cause infections, and may be responsible for up to 40% of bacterially-derived middle ear infections.
In this study, the researchers found that the juice could prevent certain strains of the bacteria from sticking to red blood cells or mouth cells, a step that can allow the bacteria to linger in the body. It seemed that the juice inhibited the bacteria's pili, the hair-like structures that allow them to adhere to surfaces. The juice had no effect on strains of Haemophilus influenzae that lacked pili.
While the results took place in test tubes, this certainly would be something to keep in mind for children and adults who get throat and ear infections.
Don't over do the juice!
I do want to warn you that excessive consumption of juices. Drinking too much fruit juice can contribute to obesity, the development of cavities (dental caries), diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal problems, such as excessive gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Children especially, as their bodies are smaller for the amount of juice ingested.
Recipe
Consider this more of a medicinal drink than a beverage, and you will do fine. Probably 3 cups a day for an adult, and a half cup 3 times a day for a child, until symptoms abate.
1 tea bag of Green Tea or Chai Green Tea
(Chia green tea contains ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove along with green tea)
2 cups unsweetened Cranberry Juice
Bring one pint of water to a rolling boil. Insert your tea bag and steep 3 to 6 minutes. Pour into a one quart container. Add two cups of unsweetened Cranberry Juice. Store in the refrigerator and use within three days.
You can drink this cold or warm it up and drink. If you have used regular green tea you can add a very small pinch of any of the spices mentioned above that is in the Chia tea, for more flavor.

Botanically it is known as Carica papaya. The fruit contains vitamin A, B, C. It is tonic, stomachic, stimulant, laxative, digestive, and rejuvenative. Ripe fruit is very useful in digestive disorders and if taken regularly, it cures all sorts of stomach troubles. The unripe fruit is also stomachic and digestive. The unripe fruit is prescribed in stomach troubles, jaundice, gastritis and liver disorders.
The papaya is a tropical melon-like fruit which grows in clusters. The tree grows to a height of 20 feet which is drowned by a tuft of leaves on long footstalks. The ripe fruit is yellowish orange and resembles a cantaloupe. It may be 4 to 20 inches (10 to 15 em) long and weigh 1 to 10 pounds. It has a thick rind, fleshy pulp and many small black seeds.
It has a sweetish taste and is very rich in vitamins A, B and C. The juice of the papaya contains papain, a protein splitting enzyme used as a meat tenderizer.
Marcopolo credited the fruit with saving the lives of his sailors when they were attacked with scurvy. Vasco-da-Gama called papaya as the golden tree of life. Magellan regarded it as a valuable article of diet. Many of the ancient explorers found that the natives could tenderize tough meat or fowl by wrapping it in green papaya leaves overnight before cooking. Some-times the juice or slices of unripe fruit were simply rubbed over the meat which served as a great meat tenderizer.
Richard Lucas in his book 'Nature's medicines' has said that the golden ripe papaya is generally recognised as a valuable health food. It is an excellent
source of vitamins B and G. The green fruit is often stewed or baked and used as a substitute for squash. The unripe fruit as well as other parts of the plant
contain a powerful protein digesting enzyme called pepsin which greatly resembles pepsin in its digestive action.
The crude papain of commerce is obtained by slashing the green fruits while they are still in the trees. The natural papain enzymes extracted from the unripe papaya melon has been extensively used in medicine industry and also as a meat tenderizer. It is also made into tablets and sold as a valuable aid for protein digestion. Everyone knows that as we grow older, the secretion of the natural juices in our bodies often declines causing incomplete digestion. This can result in gas, bloating, heartburn and stomach discomfort. These unpleasant symptoms may also occur among younger people whose digestion is disturbed, by a sense of hurry, frustration, stress and strain. Papaya enzyme tablets aid in digesting the proteins of eggs, milk, meat, beans, and similar food products. Papain is also valued as an active blood clotting agent and has been employed to arrest bleeding. It is also very useful in destroying intestinal worms.
Dr. M. Krigg in his book 'Green Medicines' has said that the ripe fruit is stomachic, appetizer, and diestive; it is given in piles and enlarged liver; the ripe fruit is eaten regularly for habitual constipation and chronic diarrhoea. The juice being an irritant is applied to swelling to prevent suppuration and to corns, warts, pimples, horny excretions of the skin and other skin diseases; the juice used as a cosmetic removes freckles and makes the skin smooth and delicate. A paste of the seeds is applied to skin diseases like ringworm.
Dr. S.J. Singh in his book 'Practical Naturopathy' has described papaya fruit as very useful in chronic diarrhoea; it is made into a curry and eaten by women to stimulate secretion of milk after childbirth. Slices of unripe fruit rubbed on the ringworm once daily is believed to cure it. The ripe fruit eaten regularly corrects habitual constipation, bleeding piles and dyspepsia. The leaves dipped in hot water or warmed over fire are applied to painful parts for relief from nervous pains. Bruised leaves applied as poultice ar said to reduce elephantoid growths.
Benefit and uses of Papaya.
The papaya not only for food, but also for healing wounds, for supporting a weak liver, for healing constipation, against worms and parasites, for healing inflammation and skin problems and even for treating cancer.
The papaya contains a lot of minerals like Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium and is the most alkaline fruit.
Papaya contains vitamin A which accelerates the formation of new cells, it protects the external layers of the skin, vitamin c is an anti-oxidant, and builds capillary strength, protein the skin can be benefited with improved smoothness, softness, and resiliency.
Green papaya may increase nutrient absorption and help to create a healthier intestinal tract.
Green papaya has also been used for over acidity or borderline ulcers as less stomach acid is required for digestion when abundant enzymes are ingested.
Papaya is good for many digestive disorders and is excellent for improving poor digestion. It has also been recommended as part of the treatment for cancer. Therapeutically it can often be combined with pineapple juice in which there is another important enzyme, bromelain.
While its popularity soared during the 1990s, Noni fruit and juice have been around for centuries and utilized in cultures across Southeast Asia and the South Pacific. Officially known as Morinda citrifola, Noni is a type of mulberry. It flowers year round producing a pungent and somewhat bitter fruit and juice. The juice is the most widely used by-product but in some cultures the leaves and roots also find use. The fruit is an excellent source of nutrients including Vitamin C, niacin, potassium, Vitamin A, calcium and sodium. Research has identified the presence of 10 essential vitamins, 7 dietary minerals, and 18 amino acids. Noni also contains a mixture of anthroquinones, organic acids, and xeronine.
It is xeronine that some researchers believe holds the key to Noni’s potential. Noni contains significant amounts of proxeronine a precursor to the alkaloid xeronine. An enzyme in the body helps convert proxeronine into xeronine. This effect happens most frequently when noni is taken on an empty stomach. A University of Hawaii researcher who has studied xeronine for years believes Noni with its proxeronine content has potential to aid some types (although not all types) of high blood pressure, menstrual cramps, arthritis, gastric ulcers, atherosclerosis, pain relief, and mental depression among many other things. Much more study is needed to verify this and the mechanism by which it works.
Uses:
Noni has been used by people with a variety of conditions. It has been used by people with immune compromising diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome to boost the immune system function. It has been reported to help stabilize blood sugar levels by diabetics and hypoglycemic. Noni has been used by individuals suffering with inflammation, joint pain, and arthritis. Some people recommend Noni to improve digestive function, remove parasites, and cleanse the digestive tract. Similarly others use it for ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and diarrhea. One study of smokers observed that total cholesterol and triglycerides improved after one month of drinking Noni juice.
Considerable research is on-going to verify the many uses and claims for Noni. Because of its high potassium content individuals with kidney related diseases should not use Noni since it can result in elevated levels of potassium in the blood. Pregnant or nursing women also should not use Noni
All i know is that somehow cranberry juice can somehow cure sicknesses like your common cough in abot 24 hours.
They are fruits which are packed with vitamin C.
Noni helps to clean your digestive system. Also increases the red and white cells, evades viruses. Papaya helps in the women's reproductive system. Cranberry helps to clean the ureter, evades stones in the kidneys.
I really dont know WHAT those drinks do! But I know what a good strong Martini do! Happy New Year.
