Mmmmmmm! I drink my Ningxia Red Juice every single day after I come back from the park, WOOF! I LOVE this juice!! I drink it from my own bowl (with a slobber towel underneath of course hehe), bepaws not only does it taste good but Mom is always telling me it is for my BIG muscles…and I want the girl dogs to always be able to see my BIG muscles, WOOF! Dr. Stewart shares with us why Ningxia Red juice is so good from a more “learned” standpoint…although a dog drinking this down is “learned” enough for me!

I don’t need to expound on the wonders of Ningxia Red Juice(R). Just go to www.ningxiared.com, which is linked with the Young Living website, www.youngliving.com. It is full of data from scientific studies as well as wonderful testimonies of the health benefits of Ningxia Red Juice. I personally drink 2-3 liters a month along with consuming a package of dried wolfberries, which are the juice’s principle ingredient.

WHAT IS THE ORAC SCALE?

Brunswick Laboratories in Wareham, Massachusetts, has tested a number of the major brands of superjuices for their free radical neutralization capabilities. These include Xango(R), Noni(R), Goji(R), Limu(R), and Ningxia Red(R) juices. Ningxia Red (ORAC = 1500) contains almost three times the antioxidant capability as the nearest competitors, Xango and Noni (ORAC = 550).

The ORAC scale was developed for the US Department of Agriculture at Tufts University. ORAC stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.” Free radicals are partial molecules that are chemically aggressive. In our bodies they can damage our organs and tissues, which accelerates aging and can lead to chronic diseases and cancer. So any food that gobbles up free radicals is good for our health and can help maintain youth and extend our longevity.

In the literature from competing superjuices, their stated values for ORAC readings can be misleading. A proper ORAC value is based on 100 milliliters (approx. 3.5 fluid ounces or 7 tablespoons or almost half a cup) of the food being tested. That is a quantity equal to seven 15 ml bottles of oil. In other words, ORAC is a measure of the number of free radicals neutralized by 7 tablespoons of the juice. Some companies quote an ORAC number that corresponds to as much as a whole quart or liter of their juice. This would be 10 times the standard quantity for a legitimate ORAC test which would render a reading ten times too high to be called “ORAC” and compared to other ORAC numbers obtained legitimately.

So be wary of companies that claim that their antioxidant capacity is greater than Ningxia Red. ORAC numbers are meaningless without stating the quantity of juice tested. When you read an ORAC score associated with a product, see if they also mention whether it was from 100 ml of their product or some other amount. In the YLEO literature, you will see this stated in the fine print as being properly based on a 100 ml sample. The comparisons YLEO makes with other juices are fair and valid, all based on 100 ml samples of every brand compared.

HIGH ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY AND MORE

In addition to its antioxidant capacity, Ningxia Red also contains high levels of many essential minerals, amino acids, proteins, and vitamins. So its benefits go well beyond those measured by the ORAC scale. Read some of the testimonials on www.ningxiared.com and you can see that daily intake of this wolfberry product can be nothing short of miraculous.

Young Living’s other superjuice is Berry Young Juice. It has the same ORAC rating (1500) as Ningxia Red. So drink either one daily and you will improve your life for life. The secret ingredient in these two juices is wolfberries (Lucium barbarum) which are native to northern China. For centuries, residents of this remote area have been noted for their longevity. They frequently live to be 120 and 150 years of age and more, while maintaining their strength, virility,teeth, and eyesight, free from arthritis, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Numerous studies have correlated their extraordinary health to the wolfberries in their daily diet.

Young living was the first to import these plants to America and currently harvests more than 100,000 wolfberry bushes at their farm in Utah. They import dried wolfberries from China which are also sold through Young Living. Besides the website cited above, Young Living has a variety of literature and DVDs on the merits and nutritional properties of wolfberries and wolfberry products.

BUILDING YOUR YLEO BUSINESS WITH WOLFBERRIES

One of the wonderful things about building a networking business through Young Living is that it can be done successfully in so many ways. There are the oils, which are the best in the world and unique in so many ways, which form the basis of most YLEO distributors’ businesses. They there are the personal products, chemical-free soaps, shampoos, skin products, vitamins, and supplements. And then there are the wolfberry products. Some YLEO distributors have build highly successful businesses focusing entirely on Berry Young Juice or Ningxia Red Juice.

Here is a dramatic demonstration you can do at a business-building meeting in presenting the powers of Berry Young or Ningxia Red Juice. Display the following items on a table:

4 pounds of carrots
2 quarts of carrot juice
8 oranges
1 pint of orange juice
2 pounds of beets
2 cups of beet juice
2 cups of raspberries
1 cup of blueberries

Some people object to Ningxia Red or Berry Young Juice because of the price. Two tablespoons (1 fl. oz.) of these juices costs from $1.25 to $1.60 depending on whether you paid wholesale or retail price. Point out that the nutritional value of two tablespoons of these wolfberry juices is equal to any one of the above items on the table. How does the price of two quarts of carrot juice compare? Or two cups of raspberries? Or if you like, how about a cup of Ningxia Red or a bushel of beets? They would all cost more. Furthermore, which would be easier to consume, eight oranges or two tablespoons of Ningxia Red, (not to mention a bushel of beets for a cup of Ningxia)?

The comparisons above were first published in the September 2001 issue of the Raindrop Messenger. At that time it was only available in hard copy, not on the internet, and had a circulation of less than two hundred distributors. The calculations at that time were for Berry Young Juice, but they work also for Ningxia Red since their ORAC values are the same.

During the 2006 YLEO Grand Convention in September, Marcella Vonn Harting, a YLEO Diamond, gave a breakout session using the demonstration above, with a colorful table by the podium filled with fruits and vegetables. Her workshop was on how to focus on Ningxia Red to build a successful YLEO business. She had with her a new distributor, Don Clair from Illinois, who had achieved the level of Silver in only four months taking the Ningxia Red Approach. At the convention, Marcella asked me to make this idea available to everyone in the context of Ningxia Red. So here it is. Have fun. And thanks Marcella for creating such a great visual for us.
