Staying healthy and keeping active is more of a chore as we get older. It gets a little harder, not to mention more expensive, to get all the vitamins and nutrients our bodies require. As we get older or should I say "As we get more mature", we start to put more energy into our ever increasing responsibilities, like jobs, kids, pets, taking care of our elderly parents, etc., that we tend to forget about our own health and well being. Women, especially, are busy taking care of everybody else.
When I was in my 20's I was extremely active and didn't put much thought into my diet. Having youth on my side, I was able to eat poorly and still have enough energy to stay active. Then in my 30’s, to maintain by present activity level and take on more responsibilities, I had to start watching what I was eating. I began to taking vitamins; I increased my protein intake and decreased eating carbohydrates.
When I turned 40 I noticed big changes in my body. It first began with my perfect eye sight, not being perfect anymore. I couldn’t read the fine print in dimly lit restaurants. I was doing the trombone thing every time I picked up something to read. For the first time in my life I went to see an eye doctor. She prescribed reading glasses and to start taking Lutein to keep my eyes healthy. And then my OBGYN told me to start taking calcium supplements. And after having a physically demanding day, I noticed I was sorer the next day and injuries were taking longer to heal. I definitely noticed more body aches and stiffness than I’ve ever felt before.
As I moved into my mid-forties, my energy level began to decline. I began to really pay close attention to my diet to make sure I was eating enough healthy, energy foods. I read up more on healthy things my body could use as it aged. I began to add flax seed and wheat germ into my morning smoothies. I calculated the percentages of vitamins and minerals that were in my daily vitamins and protein powder, to make sure I was getting what was required. I paid more attention to the foods I was eating so as not to gain any more weight or body fat. I noticed the number of vitamin pills and supplements were increasing in numbers.
So here I am now taking a handful of daily vitamins, calcium, Lutein and Glucosamine Chondroitin (helps with joint soreness and stiffness) supplements each morning. It’s a chore. I must also mention the expense of these vitamins and supplements. It really adds up each month. Besides that I’ve always had trouble swallowing pills as a kid and I still do as an adult. I could never take vitamins with plain water. I needed some type of fruit juice or smoothie to down the pills without gagging.

Then I read about the amazing health benefits of Mangosteen. Mangosteen, native to Southeast Asia, is the size of a tangerine. Southeast Asians have long used mangosteen rind as a traditional remedy for various ailments, and laboratory studies indicate that chemicals in the rind called Xanthones show promise in combating bacteria, fungi, inflammation, free radicals and cancer. Just Google "Mangosteen" and you see over 5 millions web sites talking about this amazing fruit.
The more I researched this amazing fruit, the more I realized I had to try it for myself. I chose to buy Xango Mangosteen Juice because if it’s natural ingredients that do not have any artificial flavors or colors, no added sweeteners and tastes great. The juice is shipped right to my house, so I always have a supple of it. I’m also making money with this product as a distributor – Click here to learn about the business opportunities.
After several months using Xango Mangosteen fruit juice, I have stopped taking the Glucosamine Chondroitin supplements and a few of my daily vitamins (calcium is still important to take). My body feels better, I have more energy and my asthma/allergies are less severe. I am also saving money from cutting back on having to buy expensive vitamins and allergy drugs.

| Mangosteen and Health |
My goal is to stay as healthy and as active as long as I can, because I don’t want to give up my surfing, windsurfing and hiking trips just because I’m older. I also don’t want to support the rich pharmaceutical companies as they continue to try and convince me I need their drugs to live a full life. No thank you, I’ll stay with the natural things as long as I possibly can.
