Now that I have, and that I’ve looked it up, am so impressed that I rate it alongside Hemp CBD Oil as another - mostly unknown - Natural Wonder with equally powerful and – one could say - overall health benefits !
It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree AKA “drumstick tree”.
Thing is,Its leaves provide
11 Vitamins, more than 70 Trace Minerals, 19 Amino Acids, 41 Antioxidants, 36 Anti-inflammatories, 17 Fatty acids with omega 3,6,9, andOunce for ounce, Moringa contains 7 times the vitamin C found in oranges, 4 times the vitamin A in carrots, 3 times the vitamin E in spinach, 4 times the calcium in milk, and 3 times the potassium in bananas !
Amazed ? You should, check these Moringa’s numbers of Vitamins, Minerals and Amino Acids :
What about now getting from Amazed to
Flabbergasted ?
If, that is, you believe that increasing your antioxidant intake can slow down the aging process, boost your immune system and reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and many other diseases (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radic ... y_of_aging),
then be awarethat Moringa Oleifera seems to possess the
highest ORAC value of any known food, outperforming antioxidant-packed superfood champions like Garlic ( ! ) and Blueberries ! (for the ignorant like me, ORAC stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity” which is a “test” designed to measure total antioxidant capacity of a given food).
So, on one hand, Moringa Oleifera
is a nutrient powerhouse and, on the other,
the most powerful natural antioxidant yet known.
Maybe that’s why some call it “
The Miracle Tree”, given its many medicinal uses. Or, more commonly, “
a supermarket on a tree”.
So, should one be Amazed and Flabbergasted ?
I was.
Take time to read information from the following general links and to also check some of the sampled scientific studies (from many available) done on this Miracle Tree.
Then, you tell me.
