The Tongans themselves would probably refer the curious back to an ordinary sea plant which the Tongans have harvested and eaten for thousands of years, as they believe it to be a source of longevity and health. \n\nLimu moui is a valuable source of an interesting biochemical called fucoidan and is a marine vegetable native to the coastal region of the island of Tonga. Recent research has revealed that the Tongans' faith in their brown sea plant has not been misplaced as it would appear to be a natural restorative and rejuvenator packed with nutrients, rich in antioxidants and live plant enzymes. It is said that these enzymes can provide improved protein digestion, support for the immune system and optimize overall health.\n\nLimu moui contains quantities of polyphenols-natural antioxidant compounds which mop up the dangerous free radicals which can damage cells thus causing degenerative conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes offering nutritive support to anyone suffering from a nutrient deficient diet. These powerful antioxidants can detoxify the body from heavy metals, free radicals and toxins, improve the structure of hair, skin and nails, support gastrointestinal function, assist in the reduction of high blood sugar and cholesterol and help to protect cells from damage at a cellular level.\n\nAs scientific research and data begins to emerge, this remarkable sea plant is creating significant interest among biochemists. Simply eaten as a vegetable it has offered people remarkable immune building and nutritive support, now it is available as an extract after 15 years of research into how to harness its unique properties and optimize the utilization of its therapeutic applications.\n\nLimu Moui- the health secret of the South pacific\n\nIn the temperate and unspoiled seawater off the coast of Tonga, dense aquatic forests of Limu moui thrive in the fertile bottom soil. Although used by the local populace for its healing and restorative properties over many years, the potential of Limu moui has only recently been recognized in the western world then only due to the curiosity of health-minded individuals. Soon questions regarding the superior longevity, vigor, disease resistance and overall body strength and stature of Tongans provoked investigations into the diet and routine consumption of this sea vegetable were initiated, with researchers attributing the superior health of the Tongans to this unique plant.\n\nLimu Moui contains a balance of synergistic nutrients in natural proportions:\n\n\n\nGlyconutrients (galactose, mannose, xylose)\n\nAmino acids (including glycoproteins)\n\nA wide range of essential and non-essential fatty acids\nA broad spectrum of essential minerals and vitamins\nA variety of polyphenols (powerful antioxidant plant compounds that protect the body from dangerous free radicals)\n\n\nLimu moui's polyphenol content alone is sufficient reason to consider this sea plant a valuable dietary supplement. These polyphenols are known to act as superb cell protection that can help prevent - malignant growths, tissue damage, degenerative diseases, toxic accumulation in tissues, skin deterioration. \n\nLimu moui also contains additional agents which can optimize health such as:\n\n\nFucans and fucoidan - complex polysaccharides

Gumbo and Jumbalaya are famously from Louisiana, not Mississippi, though there are some great sources of it here.\n\nMississippi is best known for Sweet Potatos. Varieties of greens, like turnip greens and collard greens. One that I had never heard of before I came here, but fell in love with is the purple hull pea. It is like a black eyed pea, but with a pink eye, and obviously a purple hull, and a heck of a better taste.

yes, for wight loss , a diet rich in proteins with low carbohydrate content and low fat( unsaturated like omega 3 fatty acids) should be taken. a lot of fibre and green vegetables should be included in your diet. try two garlic cloves with a glass of water every morning in empty stomach. it really helps.
