The ancient fruit Noni that has well preserved its medicinal qualities for more than 2000 years till now doesn’t require any acclamation for it. The world has recognized its properties and it is making a secure place in the homes and hearts of people all across the globe.
What makes this fruit so miraculous? It is the antioxidants in the fruit that have led to many positive effects on the body of human beings, such that they had welcomed it rich and high. 
Due to the effect of antioxidants, Noni can suppress the critical free radicals that are responsible for causing some severe harm in the body of human beings. 

Here in this article, we would like to discuss the antioxidants, their effects on free radicals and how noni juice is highly beneficial with its antioxidant abilities. It includes the following topics:
•What are antioxidants and how they help our body? What are free radicals, and why are they criticized?
•Noni juice and its antioxidant benefits to the human body

Antioxidants and their service to the human body:
Probably, you might have heard the word ‘antioxidant’ before but without giving it a second shot. 
These are the naturally occurring chemical substances that are found abundantly in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, tea, coffee and even your favourite chocolates. Researchers have come out with more than a thousand distinct kinds of antioxidants that have their specific purposes. 
Some examples of antioxidants are flavonols (found in chocolates), lycopene (are a constituent of juice tomatoes) and resveratrol (found in wines). 

These antioxidants serve some of the vital functions in the body that includes:
•These are effective in suppressing and killing the attack of free radicals (which we will study a bit later in this article) 
•Antioxidants help in rejuvenating the skin and thereby eliminating the effects that happen due to ageing.
•These are boosters to the human immune system that is responsible for fighting many severe diseases in the body and thereby supporting its overall well-being.
•Antioxidants provide vital support to the human heart and help in keeping the cardiac diseases away.
•They are an integral supporter of the vision of the human eyes and can improve it over time.
•They help in energizing the human mind, and due to this property, they keep the mental disorders such as anxiety, sleeplessness and depression away.
•Studies have shown that antioxidants provide potential help in the prevention of cancers which arise due to many possible reasons in the human body.

Thus, we could say that antioxidants have a crucial role to play in the efficient functioning of our body. The absence or loss of these could certainly lead to unpredictable conditions.

Free Radicals and their effects on the human body:
Free radicals, as the name suggests, are the unstable molecules which react effortlessly with particular components of our body such as proteins, fats and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). In more of a scientific language, free radicals are either short of or over a single electron in their molecule which renders them instability. When these come in contact with our body, there takes place a sharing of an electron from either component which leads to a chemical reaction. This reaction is highly unfavourable from the body-functioning point of view. 

When a free radical attacks a component in the body, it can render it unstable, and due to this, a chain reaction happens. These free radicals could develop due to body metabolism and also due to certain environmental factors such as pollution, radiations use of insecticides and pesticides on the food items and also due to active or passive smoking. 
Due to the effect of these, the body could be subjected to various troubles such as heart problems, ageing conditions and even the hazardous cancers. 
Antioxidants are said to work at a cellular level, and due to this, they could inhibit the effects caused by dangerous free radicals. These antioxidants can stabilize the unstable free radicals by rendering them an electron from their molecule. It, in turn, does not affect their chemical structure.

How antioxidants found in noni juice are helpful to human beings?
Noni Juice gets extracted out of ripe noni fruits have come out with highly beneficial antioxidant qualities in it. 
The impressive list of antioxidants in the noni juice includes Pinoresinol, Proxeronine, Kaempferol, Isoscopoletin, Vanillin, Scopoletin and Quercetin etc. which serve various functions in the human body. 
These antioxidants are said to induce particular macrophages due to which the immunity in the human body is enhanced a fair bit. These macrophages are even capable of preventing excessive loss of blood by facilitating the action of platelets in the blood when we encounter an accident.

Antioxidants are also a boon for the people who have the deadly habit of smoking. The smoking products generally consist of chemicals such as nicotine and tar etc. which is said to accumulate in the lungs of the smokers. These chemicals, in turn, could cause immense damage to the respiratory tract of the intoxicated persons and most of the lung cancers are a result of smoking activities. The antioxidant effect of noni juice is fruitful for the human respiratory system as it helps to clean the track and thereby, inhibit any chances of cancers in the body. 

Apart from this, noni juice is also helpful in preventing tumours which could be one of the outcomes of free radical chain reactions. These tumours could turn cancerous and affects all parts of the body over time. Thus, it can be efficiently concluded that noni juice is an immensely rich source of various kinds of antioxidants which could have life-changing properties on humans. If you are still not sure of the effects of this miraculous liquid, you would believe in its positive result when you include a few sips of it in your daily diet.
