You know that guy you turned down because he was too short? Too tall? Funny looking? The one who ended up dating then marrying your friend and now they are buying a second house on some Caribbean island to vacation there in the winter!? That’s something like Moringa leaf powder in the Western Hemisphere. This funny looking, unimpressive tree is taking many parts of the world by storm, and many people are either not interested, or skeptically curious about this versatile, profoundly nutritious plant. This super-food is here to inherently balance your body and improve your overall health. Here are some pretty groovy ways how Moringa Oleifera is helping you win!
1. You may not be interested in eating anything except McDonald's and BBQ chicken
Do you have a difficult time maintaining a balanced diet with a solid combination of fresh fruits and leafy green vegetables? A teaspoon of ground Moringa leaf powder will give your body all the Vitamins A, B, C, Folate, Iron, Amino Acids, and Calcium it needs for the day. With over 90 vital nutrients and minerals, this super-food is has doctors around the globe prescribing it for pregnant women where prenatal vitamins aren’t readily available. Moringa powder can be added to your favorite fruit juice (We recommend Organic Non GMO) - Apple, Orange, or Pineapple - Simply drop and mix a spoonful to take in a variety of health benefits.
2. You’re pregnant and lactation is still a foreign concept to your body
If you’ve decided to breastfeed your newborn, you both might be frustrated at the quantity of milk you’re producing. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine published a report stating that one of the most common reasons first time moms stop breastfeeding is due to low milk supply. In clinical trials conducted in countries like India and the Philippines, Moringa leaf powder was found to not only increase milk volume, it also resulted in the baby gaining weight to support her rapidly growing body. Doctors recommend that if a mother is on medication that she consult with a doctor before taking this super-food. While there are pills, medicines, and teas out there to help increase your supply, nothing will get those ducts pumping quite like Moringa.
3. You haven’t been regular lately
Moringa has all the fiber your body needs to get the bowels gently moving in one teaspoon. It acts as a detoxifier, scrubbing the digestive system of waste and toxins for maximum nutrient absorption. For those of us on diet plans that include any kind of herbal teas that act as strong laxatives, moringa is an ideal replacement for those concentrated teas because not only does it keep the bowels regulated- it also brings your body a plethora of vital nutrients and minerals to keep everything on the up and up! Moringa as a laxative also has no reported side effects, so the safety level is much more secure.
4. Daycare germs are spreading all over the house
Let's face it, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is, children are extremely susceptible to colds, ear infections, viruses, and other yucky conditions that they bring home from school and daycare. To keep those immune systems boosted, Moringa leaf powder can be added to their drink of choice. The good news is, it can also be taken after these illnesses surface, providing all the vitamins needed to give their little bodies an added line of defense against these ailments. Moringa is also a great contender against bronchitis, congestion, sore throat, fever, eye infection, and headaches.
Moringa is life, literally. In Africa, it’s known as "The Drought Tree" because of its ability to survive in any soil condition. Every part of this tree is useful as well as edible. From the root to the trunk, branches to the leaves, this plant is packed with a powerhouse of healthy benefits. It has been used in various parts of the world to address hunger, malnutrition, and disease. Most Americans are just now catching on to the ways it can help them transition into a healthier state when a holistic lifestyle isn’t on the radar just yet. Try it out, and let us know how it worked for you!
