Moringa Gal

You’ve heard the hype, the ‘Flex Fuel Vehicles’, the ‘E85 Green Fuel’, the ‘Ethanol Blended Gas’. Oil companies are touting their embrace of Ethanol as them going green, but how green is Ethanol really?

What is Ethanol fuel?

Ethanol is a grain alcohol. It’s also commonly known as Ethyl Alcohol or hydroxyethane. The Ethanol used in fuel for cars is denatured (you can’t get drunk off of it) and is primarily made from corn. This is where one of the largest issues comes from. Growing corn for the Ethanol is not the most efficient use of energy or resources. It costs more to grow and harvest corn than many other fuels. The planting, fertilizing, harvesting, transportation and refining of the corn is actually a net-negative energy expense. Basically it uses more fuel to harvest and truck it around than we get from it.

All cars can burn a mild blend of Ethanol and Gasoline, usually 10% Ethanol and 90% Gasoline. Flex Fuel Vehicles can run regular gas, all the way up to 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline.

Burning Ethanol made from corn is bad for the environment.

You’re kidding, right? I get asked this a lot. Look it up, though. Don’t take my word for it, check The Google. You’ll find that the only people really promoting using Corn for Ethanol are lobbyists and farmers unions that need to give their farmers something to grow. Interestingly enough, the oil companies have no issues at all with Ethanol as an alternative fuel.

I really didn’t have to look hard or long to find out why.

As it turns out, Ethanol fits nicely with the current refinement and distribution system that the oil companies have in place. Ethanol still takes big plants to refine and the distribution channels to gas stations remains the same. We’re still all stuck burning a fuel that they deliver to us. Sure they don’t have the oil revenue, but that’s getting more and more expensive to obtain all the time. With the government subsidizing corn for Ethanol it’s quite cheap to get. That explains why nearly all fuel at the pump is already E10 (10% Ethanol) or E6 in California.

Give that some thought. Your tax dollars are paying to subsidize the growing of corn that is being sold nice and cheap to the oil companies who are turning around and selling it to you at 40 cents a gallon. That’s right; you are paying twice for 40 cents on the gallon. As the price of gas goes up that will soon hit $1. I can barely fathom a system where we pay the government to give fuel to the oil companies who then charge us for it.

It all goes one step further. The whole notion of using corn for fuel would be a lot more reasonable if the government hadn’t stopped subsidizing the rail lines. Rail can haul cargo with unbelievable efficiency. A train can move a ton of cargo 413 miles on a gallon of diesel. That is compared to the average car which can move 2 tons (with passengers) 30 miles on a gallon of fuel. That’s 680% more efficient, or the equivalent of getting about 204 miles per gallon from your car.

Yet the government has ceased supporting smaller cargo train lines and now millions of tons of cargo is hauled on the highways, wearing them down and consuming much, much more fuel than if it were hauled by train, and they subsidize the industry that does this, and not the one that is 680% more efficient and that is going away.

Completely Ridiculous.

There are some interesting possibilities out there, Soy being one of them. There is a possibility that soy could be used to make Ethanol and Biodiesel, but that is some time away. All the while other, valid fuels are being ignored, or under-researched. One being Hydrogen/HHO conversion from water, and another being advances in solar panels that could drastically increase their performance and our ability to have completely electrical cars.

Though we doubt you really ever believed them, don’t drink in the Oil Company’s kool-aid the next time you see one of their commercials touting how green they are. The diesel fuel it takes to haul that corn to the refinery they own is making them so much money that they are laughing all the way to the bank.

Around the World of Antioxidants – What are Antioxidants?

What is the meaning of Antioxidant? The prefix ‘Anti’ means Against. Oxidant is a substance which can oxidizes another substance. Antioxidants are agents to fight against oxidation.

We can see oxidation happens everywhere in our life. You can see rust on cans, metals, even fruits or vegetables after few weeks in refrigerator. That is because individual cell start to directly contact with air, oxygen molecules start to breakdown the surfaces.

Oxidation also happens in human body. Our body is oxidizing every minute when we eat and breath. The by-product of oxidation in human body is called Free Radical.

Free radicals are molecules, those molecules either have too less or too much electron, so in order to stabilize themselves, they have to borrow a electron or give extra electron to other molecules by attacking. This chain reactions cause our body cell destruction, speed up aging process, and several diseases like cataracts, cancer, heart problems.

The functions of antioxidants are to fight with free radicals by binding with harmful molecules to decrease their destructive power, and to help to repair damages already sustained by cells.

Our body can produce certain antioxidant enzymes. Most well known ones are Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, Glutathione.

Most of antioxidants can be found in foods. Most of dark green leafy vegetables, fruits like grape, Moringa, acai, tea all contain various antioxidants.

Moringa also call Moringa Oleifera or Malunggay in Philippines. It is tree has been grown in tropical countries like India, Thailand, Africa, Philippines for more than 2,000 years. Every parts of Moringa Tree are mother nature’s best gift to living being on earth.  Local people have been enjoyed Moringa as food and medicine.

Moringa Leaves contain seven types of Vitamins, six types of Minerals, and 18 types of Amino acids including all essential Amino Acids, 46 types of Antioxidants. These plant based antioxidants are very easy absorbed by our body.

All three of these businessmen have extensive backgrounds in business, and bring over 50 years of combined network marketing experience to the company.

Currently, the company is headquartered in Utah, but is doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico, China and Japan. Based on their current growth, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them open up more countries and expand their international presence.

What Does Zija Market?

Zija markets nutritional and health products that all contain Moringa. Moringa is an exotic plant that has been used for thousands of years in various countries for it’s medicinal properties. There is tremendous research that document that plant’s balance of antioxidants, minerals and amino acids.

Based on the company’s website, the Moringa Plant has been used as early as 150 BC by several cultures including the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and various Asian cultures. In addition, the company website states that there are 300 conditions known that the Moringa plant can help with.

The company has developed a few different Moringa Products. Some of these products include:

1. The liquid nutritional line – Zija’s liquid nutritional line is made up of three products. The first one is their original, flagship product called The Smart Drink. The Smart Drink comes in small cans and contains 90 different nutrients, vitamins, minerals, omega oils and, of course, the Moringa plant. The second product is Smart Mix, which is a powder version of The Smart Drink, so you can pack it and add it to water whenever you want. The last product is called XM3, which is an Zija’s version of the energy drink, but has weight loss benefits as well.

2. Weight management products – The first product in Zija’s weight loss line is a capsule version of their XM3 product. And the second product is Miracle Tea, which is a cleanse product.

The Zija Compensation Plan

As far as Zija’s business opportunity goes, you can become a distributor by buying a distributor kit and an initial product purchase. After that, you will have to maintain a monthly autoship order to benefit from the compensation plan. The compensation plan has several ways you can make money including direct sales commissions, team commissions, check match, different types of bonuses and even order rebates. All in all, there is a good balance of upfront income potential and long-term residual income potential.

Is Zija A Good Opportunity?

In closing, Zija is a very solid business opportunity. The company has an experienced management team, quality products, a generous compensation plan and is still in it’s ground floor stages. If you’re looking to join a network marketing company that sells nutritional products, Zija might be for you.

However, Zija Will Not Make You Wealthy!

All Zija provides is an opportunity and a vehicle. Ultimately, your success will depend on your ability to sponsor distributors, sell products and build a productive organization. In addition, in order to succeed at building a lucrative Zija business, you must learn how to market and generate leads. Without leads, you will have an extremely hard time getting your business going. On the other hand, if you’re generating an endless flow of leads, you can very well be on your way to building a wildly successful business.
