Colon Cleansing:Treatment and Prevention of Colon Cancer
Nopal
contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. The insoluble
dietary fiber in Nopal more commonly known as roughage), absorbs water
and gently hastens food through the digestive track and contributes to
regular bowel movements. In addition the presence of insoluble fibers
in the colon help to dilute the concentration of potential carcinogens
that may be present. Soluble fibers also contribute to regularity.
Furthermore NOPAL is a gentle alternative to psyllium for those with a
sensitivity or allergy to psyllium. Nopal
Powder has rapidly become one of the principal forms for consuming
Nopal in many countries around the world. The reason for this is three
fold.
1.)The
ever increasing international demand no longer makes it feasible to
transport vast quantities of fresh Nopal by air or sea.
2.) Customer preference in consumption requires a more pharmaceutical approach to packaging for wider acceptance
3.) Shelf life and nutritional value are extended through the dehydration process.
Hyperlipidemia (High cholesterol/ Fat levels): Known to reduce cholesterol
Nopal's
amino acids, fiber and B3 (niacin) prevent excess blood sugar
conversions into fats, while reducing the total cholesterol,
triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels by metabolizing fat and fatty
acids and eliminating excess bile acids (excess bile acid is eventually
converted into cholesterol). Other research studies on B3 (niacin)
show its conversion effects of LDL (bad) to HDL (good) forms of
cholesterol and help decrease the risk of heart disease.
Arteriosclerosis:Blocked arteries are prevented
The
effects of the amino acids and fiber, including the anti-oxidant of
Nopal's vitamin C and A (B-carotene) prevents the likelihood of blood
vessel wall damage and the formation of fatty plaques.
Gastric Ulcers / Gastrointestinal Disorders:Reduces and eliminates gastro problems
Nopal
vegetable fibers and mucilage%u2019s control excess gastric acid production
and protect the Gastrointestinal mucus. This pH buffering and coating
has been studied for the prevention of damages that may occur from
ingesting spicy foods, aspirin and other NSA IDs.
Digestion / liver function:Detoxifies and aids in prevention of various illnesses
Nopal's
naturally available vitamins A, B1, 2, 3, C and the minerals: Calcium,
Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, and Fibers in Lignin, Cellulose,
Hemicelluloses, Pectin, Mucilage%u2019s, and Gum form along with the 17
amino acids to help detoxify and support not only the liver but also
the body in general. Ammonia, free radicals and environmental toxins
such as alcohol and cigarette smoke-which all suppress the immune
system, are removed by Nopal. Nopal also aids in the balancing and
calming of the nervous system, which benefits the body's overall
function.
Obesity: Fiber Rich
Nopal's
17 amino acids, 8 of which are essential and must be ingested as food,
provide you with more energy and less fatigue by helping the body to
lower blood sugar; elevate moods, suppress the appetite and provide
nutrients. Fat build up is prevented, while fat break down and
excretion is increased. Insoluble fibers such as Lignin are known for
increasing satiety and eliminating excessive binges. Nopal's vegetable
protein helps the body pull fluids from the tissues back into the
bloodstream thereby diminishing cellulite and fluid retention. Also
Nopal's 17 amino acids, fibers, vitamins and minerals address the needs
of a vegetarian diet.
Hyperglycemia (High blood sugar): Very important in Diabetes II patients
Nopal
stabilizes and then regulates blood sugar by increasing the body's
levels and sensitivity to insulin. Research studies have shown
significant hypoglycemic effects maximal from 4 to 6 hours after Nopal
ingestion in type II diabetics and non-diabetics. The dangerous side
effects of high blood sugar levels including visual, blood vessel and
nerve tissue disturbances are all addressed by Nopal's content of
B-carotene (Vita. A, Vitamin C, and Vitamins B1, 2,3.
Hangover Prevention
Since
that time Nopal has been sold as a hangover preventive in Korea. 2
tablets taken before going out and drinking a lot helps your digestive
system cope with the overload of alcohol.
An excerpt from Medicinal Use Of The Latin Food Staple Nopales:
The Prickly Pear Cactus
By Miguel Angel Gutierre
The Prickly Pear Cactus
By Miguel Angel Gutierre
A
few years ago some Koreans were experimenting with caning some fresh
Nopal and shipping it to Korean after a day of eating Nopal with
various amounts of vinegar and sugar they finally reached a formula
they liked. They went out and had a big party to celebrate this
momentous occasion. The next day everyone felt good and wondered why
no hangover? Because of all the Nopal they ate? Yes.
"The
Nopal has been used as a medicinal plant and is a hallmark vegetable in
the Latin American diet. Various studies have demonstrated Opuntia%u2019s
ability to affect blood glucose and hypercholesterolemia. The intake of
prickly pear pectin decreases plasma LDL levels, increases expression
of apolipo protein receptor expression, increases hepatic LDL turnover,
and affects cholesterol homeostasis in guinea pigs. Prickly pear
pectin, however does not affect absorption of cholesterol in guinea
pigs. The prickly pear cactus demonstrates the ability to decrease
blood glucose levels as well the hyperglycemic peak during glucose
tolerance testing. In addition, Opuntia has demonstrated the ability to
control experimentally induced diabetes. Similar studies, along with
domestic surveys have prompted international evaluation of the prickly
pear cactus to determine its ability to regulate glucose utilization.
Currently, homeopathic industries have begun to incorporate Opuntia
into supplements intended to help regulate plasma glucose levels."
Besides all the great income opportunities with TriVita, Sometimes I wonder if my calling was for Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. I was having a sciatic nerve issue that restricted me from doing a lot of activities that I love, I had to stop working as a Volunteer Firefighter- EMT quit the band I was in and I had a hard time riding my Harley. Three weeks after taking Nopalea I have no pain. I took my Harley out of storage. Four wheels move the body, Two wheels move the soul. Be Well

I started taking Nopalea last month. I had heard remarkable reports, but was not prepared for the results I have received! I love to wood carve.It is my great love. I have not been able to do it in quite a while. The last time I did do it wasn't very enjoyable because of the pain I experienced. It just so happened I had to start teaching my son to carve for his Senior Project the week before I started the Nopalea. Just showing him the techniques caused my hands such discomfort. But it also got the carving bug into me. Only 3 days after starting the Nopalea I started carving again myself. ALL DAY. The next day I had minimal discomfort which is unheard of for me, especially when I begin carving after a long downtime. My arms, hands, neck and back did not hurt. And I was not fatigued. I have been carving for a straight month now virtually pain free! No spasms. Minimal redness, Minimal swelling. I have not taken any of my pain meds for over 3 weeks!!
