The local Hawaiians have regarded it as a healthy food for restoration and for use against diseases from common flus to ageing diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and cancer for over 2000 years. It contains nutrients from volcanos and is grown organically in natural soil enriched from leaves, bark, seaweed, and coral, making the Hawaiian Noni rich with over 200 phytonutrients, minerals, and antioxidants such as polyphenol, flavonoid, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, iron, manganese and selenium.
Sea Buckthorn
The Shining Horse - Legend of the Sea Buckthorn
It has been told in the ancient Greek legend of the Shining Horse, that horses weak from battle were left to die in the forest. Yet to great surprise, it was discovered that those horses left in the forests of Sea Buckthorns, returned with renewed energy, valor, and vitality; their mane, thick and shining, billowing beautifully in the wind. Hence the Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) was used to nurse thin and weak horses back to strength and ready for a combat. It is from this legend that the Sea Buckthorn was named Hippophae, Hippo meaning horse and Phaos meaning to shine (Rongsen, 1992)
Pomegranate
A Fountain of Youth
Pomegranate (Punica granatum), the emerald fruit illustriously known as the Fountain of Youth, helps to slow down the ageing process and has been used as an ingredient to cure illness since the ancient time. The colour of pomegranate becomes more intense with low temperature. Scientific findings from around the world affirm the multiple health benefits of this fruit.
Urolithin A:
The secret antioxidant of the pomegranate
The pomegranate contains many essential nutrients such as phenolics, flavonoids, ellagitannins and pro-anthocyanidin. The latest research shows that the bacteria in the intestine can change ellagitannin into Urolithin A, stimulating 'Mitophagy' which eliminates Mitochondria that are ineffective in cells. The collection of defective Mitochondria in cells can lead to age-associated diseases, for instance Parkinson's disease.
An efficiency test of Urolithin A in round worms (C. elegans), a subject commonly selected to test ageing antidotes, shows that lifespan of the round worm exposed to Urolithin A increased by 45%. A test conducted in ageing mice with muscle failure had a similar conclusion. The mice receiving Urolithin A displayed higher stamina levels than those without Urolithin A by up to 42%.
Apricot
The Fruit of Eternal Youth
Apricot (Prumas armeniaca) is a fruit that the ancient Egyptians used to drink and a fruit commonly used to reduce inflammation. The apricot is high in beta carotene which gives the fruit its golden or yellowish-orange hue. As mythology incites, the golden fruit bestows divinity and eternal youth.
