Over the past few decades, there seems to be some link between the consumption of diet and low fat foods and the increased rate of obesity in America. Right about the time, women began working out of the home and embracing the ease of foods that came in packages, there seemed to be some decline in health.

Women were right to choose easy ways to feed their families because the majority of them who entered the workforce still took on the burden of all the household chores they did before they worked outside the home.

So, really the fault seems to lay in the company’s that have peddled these chemically, laboratory concocted faux foods to our citizens.

Along the way, Americans also were introduced and subsequently became addicted to faux drinks. Instead of natural, whole drinks like milk, wine, water, and juice, people began slurping down soda pop by the gallons, by the truckloads really.

Now, decades later, there are numerous studies that show that people who drink soda pop are more likely to be obese. In fact, people who drink diet soda pop are the most likely to be overweight or struggle with weight issues. That seems like it should tell us something. I’m not sure if anything that soda pop contains is natural except a small amount of water, if it even has that.

But luckily, there seems to be a trend in the opposite direction. As people are seeing the dire health effects and consequences of eating and drinking in this manner, they are becoming more wiling to change these poor health habits.

This may explain why an all-natural juice like Nopalea Juice is skyrocketing in popularity. It not only makes a great substitute for some drink with empty nutritional value (and possible harmful side effects), but it actually is healthy and good for your body.

The juice is made from the Prickly Pear Cactus. In fact, the cactus is the second main ingredient after water. In addition, all the other ingredients are natural. Even the sweetener, which is agave nectar. But in addition to tasting good and being all-natural, the juice may actually help cure and relieve ailments and pain.

Hundreds of people swear by Nopalea Juice and their testimonials can be found in literature printed by Nopalea’s parent company, Trivita. In the pages of this literature, people provide their names and often their photos and claim amazing health benefits from the drink.

Some people say they have found relief from everything ranging from fibromyalgia to headaches, to diabetes, to back pain to acne.

It just makes sense that the juice would help so many people because it is made from the Prickly Pear Cactus. The cactus, a native of the Sonoran desert, is said to be an all-natural anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.

Even the renowned and esteemed Dr. Mehmet Oz has sung the praises of the cactus. He even featured it on two episodes of his show. In one episode, he did a demonstration about how the fibrous nature of the plant can help people with diabetes regulate blood sugar levels.

Author Bio: Frank Yocanis has been researching and writing about Nopal Juice 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 reducing swelling. He is excited to share how this antioxidant-rich drink can change your life.
