Ayurveda , Moringa and Poga Moonga Juice!

Ayurveda provides both preventative and curative measures towards optimal physical, spiritual and mental well-being. The word "Ayurveda" is from the ancient Indian language and means "Knowledge of Life". Inherent in Ayurvedic principles is the concept that you are capable of taking charge of your own life and healing. One of the ingredients used in the writings of the Ayurveda is Moringa, which is the main ingredient of Poga Moonga Juice. Moringa is recorded in the Ayurveda for being used to treat over 300 diseases.

More than simply medical care, Ayurveda offers a philosophy whereby one may live a long, healthy life and prevent unnecessary suffering.. Ayurveda is known as the “mother of all medical systems”. Ayurveda has undergone continuous development, research and refinement over past 5,000 years. Originally from India, Ayurveda is currently experiencing popularity world-wide. Ayurveda employs the judicious application of exercise therapy, nutritional guidance, herbal medicines, transcendental meditation and many special purification therapies. Preferring to focus on the type of person who has the disease, rather than just understanding the type of disease the person has. According to Ayurveda, you can achieve health through daily routine.
Ayurveda and the 3 doshas

In Ayurveda, different people with the same disease sometimes receive different herbal and diet plans by taking into account each person's constitution and the imbalance. With Ayurveda, beneficial daily habits are different for each person, because each person is a unique combination of the 3 fundamental biological principles, which are called "doshas": Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Everybody has all 3 energies - although people experience each of them to a lesser or greater degree.

VATA
A Vata's frame is usually low and thin and thin in weight with prominent bones and joints. They have thin, dryand rough skin with a tendency for prominent veins and cold to the touch. Vata usually will have curly, coarse, dry hair. Their teeth are usually be large, crooked and protrude. Both their head and eyes will be small, unsteady and quick . Vatas have variable and scanty appetites. They will have trouble gaining weight and be thin. Vatas like salty, sweet and sour foods like pickles, cake and crackers. They find oily foods comforting and benefit from ghee, a form of clarified butter. They will nurse hot drinks to keep them warm. Their bowels are usually dry and hard, dry and prone to constipation. Vatas are hyperactive and can exhaust easily with minds that fantasize. They are extremely artistic, creative with extreme moods of joyfulness and fear, accomplishment and insecurity, and anxious. Vatas are always unpredictable and erratic. They are light sleepers with scanty, interrupted sleep patterns.

PITTA
Pitta have a medium build, height, and bone structure, with soft, oily skin that's warm to the touch. They burn easily and have fair complexions. Pitta's hair is soft and oily and can bald and gray early. They have yellowish, moderate size teeth with soft gums that bleed easily. Pittas need large meals to be satisfied and have strong appetites but will not snack. They like astringent, sweet, bitter foods, like candy, green salads and bananas. They like cold drinks. They have frequent bowel movements with loose discharges. They must evacuate immediately when they feel the urge. They are moderately active, but with intensely competitive spirits.
They can be aggressive and overly assertive, highly intelligent and organized and with almost photographic memories. They become politicians, doctors, lawyers, teachers - and get angry when not fed on time! They are easily irritated and can be dangerous when jealous, which happens often. They are fanatical about their faith.
Pittas sleep deep and short , with fiery dreams of violence and war. They are good orators, but can be sharp and cutting with their speech.

KAPHA
Kaphas are large, big boned, strong and thick. They don’t stand too tall, but often as the foundation of society. They become heavy by just looking at food and have a tendency to be overweight. Their skin is thick, smooth, cool, oily and pale. Their hair is thick, wavy, oily with strong even white teeth. They seldom get a cavity. Kaphas eat slowly and have small appetites and eat many small meals a day and are the big snackers of society. They like pungent, bitter, and astringent foods like spicy dishes and green salads. But Kaphas especially like dry, crispy things. They rarely drink, and have one heavy and full bowel movement daily. They are not very active and must study repeatedly to understand, but will never forget once they learn. Therefore they often prefer repetitious jobs where little innovation is necessary. Kapha people in general are reliable, steady and slow. They are extremely compassionate, patient, loving and patient, often becoming the clergy of different religions and social workers. They have highly developed spiritual feelings a deep and a steady faith. They sleep long and deep and often dreaming of romantic settings by lakes and rivers. They speak in a monotonous voice.

It is important to remember that we all are a combination of the 3 doshas. In Ayurveda, once you understand your body type or dosha, you can structure a diet for yourself which will really work to make you feel totally harmonized and balanced. You can also design an exercise plan which will benefit your dosha.

Poga Moonga Juice, The “Whole Food Supplement”

Poga Moonga Juice, What a weird name for such a great natural, whole food supplement! Let me tell you how they came up with the name. First it is made up letters from the 3 ingredients it has. The “Po” in Poga comes from the pomegranate, which is one of the ingredients. The “ga” in poga comes from an amazing tree that most people have not heard of. It’s called the Moringa tree, which is the second ingredient in poga moonga juice. So now we have “po” and “ga” which gives you the first name. The second name “moonga”, well this is just another name for moringa in India where the tree has been used and grown for thousands of years. So there you have it “Poga Moonga”.

Pomegranate and Moringa together are a powerhouse supplement but they didn’t stop there. They also added a third ingredient, Aloe Vera, to make it a whole food supplement, unmatched on the market today Lets talk about the three key ingredients and why combined together, make it an unbeatable supplement. First, and foremost, you must realize, that Poga Moonga is just not another, fruity, exotic, sugary juice, like the one that have been coming out on the market in the last several years. It is NOT, a newly discovered berry hidden in the Himalayans and just discovered. The ingredients, even if you haven’t heard of them, have been used medicinally for thousands of years.

Lets start with pomegranate. Pomegranate contains a super-antioxidant, which is three times more potent than the antioxidant found in red wine. Antioxidants are coming into their own as of late because they are being found to help lower and maintain high blood pressure and cholesterol. They stop “plaque” build up in the arteries and thin the blood. Both of which are great at reducing the chances of getting strokes and heart attacks. The more research is done, the more amazing benefits are being discovered about antioxidants. We agree, that antioxidants are good for you but how much do you really need? Many of the natural fruit supplements available today are just an overdose of antioxidants. Antioxidants are necessary, but they do not make a complete supplement.

Then there’s Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera has 8 of the recognized 13 vitamins. It contains 20 of the 22 amino acids your body needs for life. Amino acids are the building blocks of life. They repair and build new muscle and make new cells. If your looking for something to cure any digestive problems you have, look no further. But the most amazing properties in aloe vera are it’s ability to build your immune system and fight off diseases. It also helps amplify the effects of any vitamin or supplement you take making it three times easier to be absorbed by the body, than without aloe vera. This is what sets aloe vera apart from any other product. Aloe vera has been used for centuries internally and externally for treating an endless list of illnesses.

And last but certainly not least important is Moringa. Moringa is so nutritious, that is given to pregnant women, new mothers and babies in 3rd world countries. It supplies them with all the nutrition they need to fight malnutrition. They have abandoned the old treatments of milk powder, vegetable oil, sugar and peanut butter, which have been used for years to treat malnutrition. And replaced it with Moringa. Moringa is so amazing they even use it to detoxify their drinking water. Just think how good of a body detoxifier it is. Moringa contains the 8 ”essential amino acids” your body needs but does not produce. It is the only plant that contains them. Moringa has such an over abundance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients, you would be hard pressed to find anything that can compare. Western medicine knows little about Moringa but ask anyone from India and they will rave of its power. It has been used for centuries to treat over 300 diseases, as written in India’s ancient medical tradition of “Ayurveda” .

Combined together, pomegranate, aloe vera and moringa form a “whole food supplement: un like anything available on the market today. Finally something that really works! Poga Moonga Juice. Its Just Your health”

Healthy is, what healthy does!

Last year my parents, aunt and uncle came to visit me for my birthday. Every morning they saw me take a 3 oz. shot of something with my coffee. Finally, they ask, what it was. I told them it’s a natural supplement that has been helping me with my cholesterol, high blood pressure and stomach problems. Then I found out my dad had acid reflux, my aunt had IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and my mom had arthritis. So I offered them to try it for a couple days, knowing how much it has helped me. To all their amazement, in 2 days my dad stopped taking his, $6.00 a pill prescription for his acid reflux. Three weeks later my mom said her arthritis felt a lot better and she had less pain. But the most amazing result was my aunt, who, after only 4 days of trying it, for the first time in 4 years, could eat a normal meal, without the pain and discomfort of IBS she was suffering from.

I was just as amazed as they were that one natural supplement had such positive effects on so many different ailments, in so many people. After a lot of research, I found that the combination of pomegranate and moringa (which I have never heard of before), were great for high blood pressure, cholesterol and arthritis. And the aloe vera was great for most digestive problems. From my research I found that the antioxidants from the pomegranate; the phytochemicals ( Phytochemicals are plant chemicals that have no nutritional value but contain protective and disease preventive properties) of aloe vera and the amino aids, vitamins and healing properties of moringa, seem to make quite an amazing supplement.

Now 3 months later, my doctor is still amazed at my cholesterol and high blood pressure and my slight stomach problems are gone, my father doesn’t buy his $6.00 a pill medicine for his acid reflux, my mom has less pain and more movement with her arthritis and my aunt doesn’t suffer from the burning and discomfort of IBS. It helped me but I wasn’t sure it would help. So I figured, I’ll just get them to try it and see what happens. What do they have to loose? But what if, what if it can help them. What’s more important than family and health? And being able to help your family with their health, it can’t get any better than that. Poga Moonga Juice, “It’ Just Your Health”
