Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

NingXia Red | My Super Juice

I’m participating in a NingXia Red challenge through the month of December with my oily community, so I thought it would be a fun time to share about this life-changing super juice.

NingXia Red is an incredible antioxidant supplement offered by Young Living. A few samples are included in the Premium Starter Kit so that all new members can begin to experience the truly remarkable benefits of everything this juice packs.

The supplement is named for the extraordinary Wolfberry (one of the main ingredients) found in NingXia, China. The Wolfberry is pureed (not juiced) for inclusion in the drink so that it retains the most value possible. The Wolfberry has been found to be one of the most nutrient- and protein-dense foods on the planet, and it’s one of the earliest known superfruits used in Chinese health practices. In fact, the people who have ingested this berry on a regular basis anecdotally report a longer, healthier life.

100 grams of Wolfberries (the amount found in 2 ounces of NingXia Red) contains:

  • 19 amino acides (5.8gm protein)
  • 22 trace minerals
  • 5 unsaturated fatty acids, polysaccharides
  • 7mg beta carotene (= 180% Vitamin A)
  • Vitamins B1, B6
  • 100% Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)*
  • 300% Vitamin C*
  • 90% Vitamin E*
  • 10% Calcium*
  • 24% Potassium*
  • 100% Iron*
  • 91% Selenium*
  • 18% Zinc*

*DV = Daily Value

In addition to the Wolfberry, NingXia Red is infused with Orange, Lemon, Tangerine, and Yuzu Essential Oils, which includes the powerful component, d-limonene (read more about it HERE).  It also contains Blueberries, Cherries, Pomegranates, Plums, Grapefruit Seed Extract, and Aronia Berries (which contain the highest antioxidant level of any berry). We need the antioxidants found in this supplement to fight off free radicals, which can lead to a host of diseases when left unchecked.

Oxidative stress results when free radicals are allowed to run rampant in our bodies.  This can cause damage eventually leading to many chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, heart attacks, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, stroke, aging, and other degenerative diseases. Oxidative stress is also linked heavily to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and ALS. Those are pretty scary implications (with many studies to back them up). In the short run, oxidative stress leads to chronic inflammation that we may not even know we have because it often doesn’t result in the typical pain associated with the word inflammation. Chronic inflammation can manifest in allergies, asthma, depression, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn’s, to name a few. All of that is a result of not having sufficient antioxidants to neutralize the build up of free radicals over time. In order to prevent excessive oxidative stress, we have to ingest antioxidants every day because our bodies don’t make them on their own.

One ounce of NingXia Red has the same antioxidant power of:

  • 34 large onions or
  • 8 oranges or
  • 2 cups of blueberries or
  • 2 pounds of beets or
  • 22 medium carrots or
  • 10.85 pounds of spinach or
  • 55.33 pounds of almonds or
  • 59 broccoli florets or
  • 73 medium strawberries or
  • 93 apples or
  • 130 tomatoes

I don’t know about you, but I cannot eat enough fruit or vegetables in one day to add up to that much antioxidant goodness!  And that’s why I looooove NingXia Red so much.  It’s such an incredible way to support my body, and only requires 1 ounce per day.  The fruits in NingXia Red have powerful compounds, phytonutrients, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals that support total body wellness.  Because NingXia Red is a drink, it’s incredibly easy for our bodies to digest, and this allows our digestive system to absorb it much more adequately than typical supplements and even food. Every cell in our bodies can utilize the nutrients, and nothing gets wasted.

And in addition to antioxidants, there are many other benefits to drinking this supplement daily.  NingXia Red’s balanced ingredients support whole-body wellness, proper energy levels, the circulatory system, and eye health.  Likewise, they help support normal cellular function.  This super juice really helps to fortify and revitalize the body!  There are so many excellent benefits to drinking NingXia Red daily.  It can be an incredible way to support your body alongside a natural wellness lifestyle.
