Getting old is tough enough without all the physical ailments that accompany it.

Anything that can help boost energy levels, improve cellular function, and relieve pain and swelling, is welcome. It’s even better if the remedy is an all-natural product.

Dedicated drinkers of Nopalea Juice say this drink does just that. This all-natural juice is made primarily from water and the Prickly Pear Cactus. It is naturally sweetened with Agave nectar and fortified with more than a dozen fruit extracts and concentrates.

The Prickly Pear Cactus is a native of the Sonoran desert where it has grown and flourished rampantly for centuries. It is believed that the use of the cactus as both a food, juice, and medicine can be traced all the way back to the Aztecs. In fact, those ancient warriors were given a spiritual sign that they would find their promised land when they spotted a Prickly Pear Cactus with an eagle clutching a snake perched upon it.

The plant is highly regarded for its beneficial health properties. For instance, it is not only a natural anti-oxidant, it is also a natural anti-inflammatory. This latter quality has made the Prickly Pear Cactus – and the Nopalea Juice made from it – even more popular in the last decade.

That’s because it was about ten years ago that a cover story in Time Magazine praised the health benefits of reducing inflammation. According to the article, researchers made an underlying connection between inflammation and other serious illnesses and diseases. Further research is being done, but the desire to eliminate chronic inflammation in the body is gaining popularity and not just for immediate relief of pain and discomfort.

The idea behind the theory is that inflammation – which is the body’s first response to attack – can often go haywire once its job is done. When that happens, the inflammation does not turn off and becomes chronic.

Along with the special benefits of reducing inflammation and acting as a natural antioxidant, which flushes toxins from the body, Nopalea also tastes good and packs a powerful punch when it comes to nutrients.

The juice supplies so many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that there is no contest between choosing it to drink versus something nutritionally empty such as a soda pop. The juice is also filling. Some people have even experienced weight loss when they embark on a regimen of drinking the juice.

Trivita, the company that makes the Nopalea Juice, collects testimonials from many happy customers. These testimonials claim that drinkers have found relief from everything ranging from acne to arthritis and everything in between. People who suffer from chronic pain and headaches, say they find relief.

The plant itself was named as one of the seven natural wonders of the world by none other than Dr. Mehmet Oz on one episode of his television show. He did a demonstration showing how the densely fibrous nature of the cactus can help people who suffer from diabetes. What happens is the fibrous plant acts as a natural filter and regulates the blood sugar levels in the body.

Author Bio: Frank Yocanis has been researching and writing about Trivita for the past decade. He has even traveled to the Sonoran desert half a dozen times to study how Nopalea contains amazing properties that help with all kinds of joint pain, including thumb joint pain. He is excited to share how this antioxidant-rich drink can change your life.
