Rodriguez Jr. - Baobab (Tim Green Remix) [Mobilee Records]

you know, we can easily do it, it remind's me of the plight of the, "Baobab", (Adansonia, A baobab is any of nine species of deciduous tree in the genus Adansonia, found in arid regions of Madagascar, mainland Africa, Arabia, and Australia. The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described Adansonia digitata. Of the nine species, six are native to Madagascar, two are native to mainland Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and one is native to Australia. One of the mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar, but it is not a native of that island. It was introduced in ancient times to south Asia and during the colonial era to the Caribbean. It is also present in the island nation of Cape Verde. The ninth species was described in 2012, and is found in upland populations of southern and eastern Africa. The African and Australian baobabs are almost identical despite having separated more than 100 million years ago, probably by oceanic dispersal), a very hardy and useful tree, Baobabs store water in the trunk, (up to 120,000 litres), to endure harsh drought conditions All occur in seasonally arid areas, and are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season. and if it can cope with a unforgiving environment, to recover fully, then so can we. but did you know the baobab is the fruit of Africa's Tree of Life. It is the only fruit in the world, that dries naturally on the branch. Baking in the sun for 6 months, baobab’s green, prickly, velvet-like coating transforms into a smooth, brown, coconut-like shell. Inside it’s hard casing, (use a hammer to crack it open) is the dry white-ish pulp of the fruit, which contains no moisture whatsoever,While many people know of the baobab tree, not many people know, that it has a fruit - and even less know, that this fruit is one of the most nutrient-dense foods, in the world. In fact, every part of the baobab tree is valuable, the bark can be turned into rope, and clothing, the seeds can be used to make, cosmetic oils, the leaves are edible, the trunks can store water, and the fruit is extraordinarily rich, in nutrients and antioxidants. Women in Africa have turned to the baobab fruit, as a natural source of health and beauty, for centuries. It is an extremely rich source of vitamin C, almost 50% fibre, and has the highest antioxidant content, of any whole fruit. The benefits of baobab include: Energy release - reduction of tiredness and fatigue Immune function - protection against illnesses, infections and diseases Digestive health - baobab is a natural prebiotic, supporting gut health Healthy, younger-looking skin - baobab produces collagen leading to a glowing complexion and helps fight the signs of ageing. The human body, cannot make or store its own vitamin C, (unlike other animals), so we need to make sure, we get a good supply from the foods we eat every day. A single serving of Baobab Powder, (10g or 2-3 teaspoons), provides you with, 33% of your daily vitamin C requirement, (NRV), One of the key benefits of vitamin C is that it helps to keep our immune system strong, supporting our body’s defence against infections, diseases and other illnesses, Vitamin C contributes to normal energy release – this slow, and steady release sustains us for a longer period of time and prevents us from feeling tired all of a sudden. Therefore, it helps the reduction of tiredness and fatigue as well as supporting a normal energy-yielding metabolism which is needed for all functions and activities of the body, including physical activity and exercise, (EFSA, 2012). Aduna Baobab Powder contains 34% soluble fibre, this helps to slow down the release of sugars into the blood stream, reducing energy spikes. Soluble fibre can also help to control blood glucose levels, improve blood cholesterol and reduce visceral fat (body fat that is stored around the organs in your abdominal). The Functional Food Centre of Oxford Brookes University conducted a trial using Aduna Baobab Powder and found that human participants who consumed a milk containing baobab had a lower blood glucose response than those who had a control drink with no baobab. A later study by Oxford Brookes University also showed that baobab significantly reduced the rate at which sugar was released into the blood after digestion. As such, baobab is considered ideal for those following a low GI diet. It could also be beneficial for people with Type 2 Diabetes,Over 30% of the world’s population are deficient in iron – making it the most common nutritional disorder (World Health Organisation, 2017). Many turn to various iron supplements to increase their intake, A less known fact is that vitamin C is needed to help the body absorb iron so pairing iron with vitamin C actually increases absorption. Our bodies require two types of iron; heme iron (found in fish, poultry and red meat) and nonheme iron (present in plant foods, eggs, milk and meat). Compared to the former, nonheme iron is not easily absorbed by the body. One of the ways in which absorption of both types of iron can be increased is by combining the consumption of iron with vitamin C.Approximately 40% of people have at least one digestive symptom at any one time (NHS, 2016). Despite the growing awareness of the role of fibre in improving our digestive health, 80% of people in the UK don’t eat enough of it. Aduna Baobab Powder is almost 50% fibre. There are two types of fibre that our body needs: soluble and insoluble - and baobab contains both. Soluble fibre dissolves in the water found in your digestive system and can help to reduce the level of cholesterol in your blood. Insoluble fibre doesn’t dissolve, it passes through your gut and enables other foods to move through your digestive system easily,Most people are familiar with probiotics – good bacteria found in foods such as yogurt, kefir and kimchi which have beneficial effects to your health, particularly your digestive system. However, very few are familiar with prebiotics which play an equally important role in gut health. Prebiotics are indigestible dietary fibres, also known as soluble fibres, made up of non-living organic matter. The soluble fibres of baobab fruit pulp are prebiotics: non-digestible food components that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and activity of beneficial microflora (Journal of Food Research, 2016), Baobab has the highest antioxidant content of any fruit. Baobab powder has twice the antioxidants gram per gram of goji berries and more than blueberries and pomegranates combined,Baobab is considered to be one if the highest alkaline foods available as it has a PRAL (Potential Renal Acid Load) rating of -52. Eating highly alkaline foods helps to balance our body’s pH levels. The Journal of Environmental Health (2012) found that alkaline foods can also help defend our bodies from chronic diseases and ailments, (such as hypertension, arthritis and deficiency in vitamin D, now i bet you didnt know all that as, standardz, hahahahahahaha, :) #edio
