Today we’re not looking at any antioxidant drink or juice but rather what secrets we can learn from the longest lived people.

Dan Buentter, writer and explorer for National Geographic talks about the differences between western lifestyle and the longest-lived people. This article sums up his talk but it can be watch below and I highly recommend doing so.

10 / 90 ratio

A new fact that may surprise some; when it comes to living a long healthy life our genes only contribute to 10% (the DNA structure passed down from our parents, well there goes blaming the folks for back pain etc) while a staggering 90% is all lifestyle choices. The way each of us choose to live everyday, every moment and every choice impacts our quality and span of our lives.

10% genes and 90% lifestyle contributes to living long

Living in a confused time

What helps us live longer and better? What do you know for sure?

• Should you run a long distance marathon or perhaps yoga has all the secrets?
• Meat diet or maybe tofu?
• What supplemets should you take and really how often?
• Does our social life have an affect on living long and how about your spiritul life?

Busting Mythys

Myth: You can try hard to live past 100 years. #BUSTED
Only 1 in 5 American’s can live past 100 years. With the majority living just long enough to see thier grandchildren.

Myth: Treatments can slow ageing. #BUSTED
There are 31 trillion cells in your body that turn over approx. every 8 years. Each time causing a little bit of damage.

The longest-lived people’s common habits

• The do not exercise but rather they move naturally, finding natural physical activities in their daily routine. Ie walking to their friend’s place. They all tend to walk a lot and work in thier gardens.
• They have a strong and clear sense of purpose. Each would be able to answer without delay nor confusion why they wake up each morning. They have a clear purpose, weather it is to feed the tribe or care for their great great great granddaughters.
• They eat a simple diet:
  • A daily drink but nothing compared to westerners
  • Their diet is plant based with lots of nuts and beans
  • They have smart strategies to stop them from over eating.
• They connect with each other:
  • Family always comes first
  • They share a group of friends that share their beliefs. They belong. After all your friends are a life time adventure.

What surprised me was how people and clear purpose added to ones life, around 12 years. I’m glad I have good relations with my family and I encourage all to cherish your families.
While this may not be an antioxidant juice focused article, I believe this will intrest many people. But remember that a healthy diet, rich with antioxidants will help your 31 trillion cells rejuvinate properly.

So today, when you drink your antioxidant juice why not invite you family and friends to share it with you? Add some years to your life and theirs.

What’s in a name like Xango?

When it comes to antioxidant juices no one can overlook mangosteen, and when it comes to the best quality and best reputation the name Xango juice is usually heard by many. Xango juice was the first to bring mangosteen to the market and did it in such a way that honoured the fruit. When I speak to people who drink or know of it all they have to say are wonderful things, and I always like to ask them: “do you drink it daily?” To my surprise 9 out of 10 say yes. The point is Xango is respected when it comes to producing the best mangosteen juice.

Firstly, what is Mangosteen?

Before we look at Xango, a little background on Mangosteen is needed for those who don’t already know of its powerful antioxidant and xanthones nutrients. Mangosteen is a delicious-tasting fruit, with a white centre and purple pericard (rind) grown in Asia. The fruit has the most delicious taste ever and is referred to by the locals as ‘the queen of all fruits’. Locals have used the fruit in cooking, juice, healing remedies and other home uses for centuries.

If you are wondering why you have never heard of Mangosteen before, the reason could be that until 2007 Mangosteen importation was banned in the US for fear of insects. However, after proper research, mangosteen actually proved to be an extremely safe fruit and with abundant benefits. The doors to the US then opened and  the Western world is now benefiting.

Mangosteen juice packs a punch, with one of the highest levels of antioxidants and with more than 30 xanthones (also refereed incorrectly as super antioxidants but suggests the amazing power). Xanthones are so powerful and posses amazing healing properties it has scientists amazed and deep in research. For more info on Xanthones, do a quick search on our site. Its important to remember that the human body cannot produce antioxidants and xanthones but is crucial to everyday vitality. Make sure you are getting a good daily intake.

The benefits

Mangosteen has so many health benefits its hard to compile a complete list. It has been known to make the skin younger, brighter, cure scars (as it did with me), its also known to assist with suffers of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

• Slow aging
• Fights bacterial infections
• Prevent Alzheimer’s
• Improve symptoms of Parkinson’s
• Help with anxiety and depression
• Help reduce allergy symptoms
• Improve gum health and eye health
• Reduce nerve pain
• Lower fever
• Lower cholesterol
• Stimulate red blood cell growth
• Help in the healing of stomach, mouth and bowel ulcers
• Help fight viruses and infections

• Reduce Migraines
• Heal skin rashes
• Reduce blood pressure
• Energize
• Reduce inflammation
• Reduce pain
• Reduce tumor formation

• Support bone mass
• Improve immune response
• Help protect the heart
• Help reduce the formation of cataracts
• Reduce irritable bowel
• Help fight fungus and parasites
• Help support vascular health

Small things add up

When it comes to what is going into your mouth you want to know that its safe, fresh, healthy and tastes great. Xango Juice does all that.

• Xango meets high product quality standards and very strict ISO standards.
• They use the whole mangosteen. From centre to rind, this is very important as the rind has the majority of the nutrients.
• Has the most delectable taste, I find it refreshing and addictive.
• It is well priced around $40 per bottle.
• Only 1-3 doses a day is need.

Xango juice can be bought online or it can be bought through a family business. Xango choose not to sell it at super markets. They believe that people will recommended it and it will sell on its own merit. ie word of mouth. From what I know this avenue has only strengthened the name Xango.

I continue to drink Xango Mangosteen Juice daily and have never looked back.

The Mangosteen fruit (Garcinia Mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree originally from Indonesia but now grown all over Asia. Mangosteens have a beautiful think purple rind (skin) and in the centre is quite a pleasant surprise, an ivory-white segmented pearl. They have the most unusual taste, sweet and slightly tangy, a soft texture that falls apart in your mouth. It’s hard to describe the taste because no other fruit shares its flavour. It’s one of a kind.

Asian health practioners have used Mangosteen for many centuries and for good reason. Mangosteen didn’t get it’s name “Queen of all fruits” from the villages just for its delicious flavour but more for its healing powers. The US and western society are just beginning to discover this amazing fruit and its powerful antioxidants. With the US lifting the importation ban in 2007, scientist are starting to learn about the powerful fruit and many signs are already pointing to validate that it truly it is the “The Queen of all Fruits”

Other benefits of Mangosteen are:

• The most amazing taste, beautiful fragrance and very attractive
• It’s extremely high levels of phytonutrients called Xanthones.
• Its potential impact for lowering risk against human diseases. (Science is a little slow with this but Asian medicine have been using it in all healing treatments, Science needs to catch up)
• And of course, it’s high antioxidant properties, what we are all about here at e Antioxidant juice!

Mangosteens

The best way to have Mangosteen is to drink it, without a doubt. Not for the taste (although it is great) but for the health benefits. The best bits of the fruit is found in the actual rind (pericarp) with unusually high levels of Xanthones and Antioxidants. This is one mighty powerful antioxidant juice and should be consumed with respect. It’s not like apple juice, it deserves a higher level of respect and appreciation.

Let me quickly tell you about xanthones but in simple terms (no scientific jargon here). Xanthones are living organisms that are in very few fruits. Scientists are linking xanthones with curing or alleviating fatigue, infections (both microbial, fungus & viral), cholesterol levels, inflammation, skin disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders, and allergies… and much more. It supports the immune system and kills off free radicals. The most powerful source of xanthones is the Mangosteen, with the pericarp containing over 30! Unlike protein, xanthones are not destroyed when heated.Doctors refer to xanthones as super antioxidants, and Mangosteen holds over 30 of them in just one fruit. Get the picture? This is a powerful antioxidant juice and should be in every household in the world.

So what is an Antioxidant juice and why is it so important? Basically an Antioxidant is a molecule that helps fight free radicals. So why are free radicals bad? Free radicals are all around us and they cause the body to age faster and can cause illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Antioxidants taken daily like an Antioxidant juice can prevent the free radicals from harming our bodies. Our bodies feel healthier and happier.

Research has shown that Antioxidant juice (or smoothies), if taken daily and in high potency levels, increases life expectancy. But do we really need to take antioxidants? Well yes, the human species is the only one known to not produce Antioxidants, unlike most other animals.

Antioxidants can be found in many sources like spinach, oranges, bananas and many more. Research has shown that berries hold some of the highest levels (ORAC – Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) of antioxidants. Goji Wolfberry, Acai and Mangosteen have some of the highest counts, whereas standard vegetables and fruits like spinach have lower levels, and spinach doesn’t taste as good as berries.

So all in all antioxidant juices are great for the body and if you drink daily, you should be well on your way to a healthier, happier and maybe even smarter new you.

Drink up!
