Noni Juice Challenge

NOTE: The Fiijan Noni juice made me vomit this morning, so the Noni Challenge is on hold! At least until I can try out some of the Tahitian Noni, which is apparently ‘flavoured’ with grape & blueberry juice to make it more paletable. Not impressed!

I have been curious about Noni Juice after reading countless articles with Miranda Kerr raving about the stuff. I may have a love/hate relationship with Ms Kerr (or at least her public persona, it’s not like I know the girl personally) but I don’t doubt the fact that she is health conscious and is passionate about organic produce and skincare. The girl has fabulous skin and hair, and somehow manages to keep a schedule that would knock most of over for dead. So what is this Noni Juice she is always raving about?

TAHITIAN NONIā„¢ Juice supports your immune system, delivers superior antioxidants that help rid the body of harmful free radicals, increases energy, is cholesterol-friendly, and allows for greater physical performance levels. Ancient tradition and modern research both testify of the power of noni. A must for those concerned with overall wellness.

I was at the Health Food Store this afternoon and picked up a bottle of Fijian Noni Juice. Now, I have no idea if the Fijian Noni and the Tahitian Noni are different in any way (if you have any information about this, please let me know!) but it was there, so I bought it. Miranda has raved about how this has helped her energy levels, her skin and her general wellbeing. So I am going to try Noni for a month, and see if it makes any difference for me! I will take it orally in the morning and night as recommended, and try soaking a cotton ball in the juice and applying it to my face at night. Here is my “before” (please note, I have no makeup on in this shot – so go easy on me kids) -

It’s a practical impossibility to take a picture of yourself without looking like a total moron, so please excuse my daft expression! I will take another photo in a couple of weeks to see if the Noni has made any difference to my skin! Wish me luck – and anybody who wants to join me on this challenge, feel free!
