Moringa
The moringa plant has long-been praised for the health benefits it offers for decades. For one thing, it’s got a high content of antioxidants. As previously mentioned, free radicals can do a considerable amount of damage on the body. The oxidative stress it causes has been linked to many different chronic conditions, ranging from diabetes to heart disease. Some studies also indicate that it can reduce inflammation. Researchers believe its anti-inflammatory properties stem from isothiocyanates, moringa’s primary compound.
In addition, moringa’s leaf extracts have shown varying antibacterial properties and found the extract to be as effective—if not more so—than many traditional antibiotic treatments. In reality, it may even combat strains that are resistant to some antibiotics, which can make it effective against many types of bacterial infections, including tooth and gum infections. Moreover, moringa supports heart health by lowering cholesterol.
Moringa leaves are also very nutritious, as they contain many minerals and vitamins. Their vitamin C content is seven times more than oranges and potassium level fifteen times more than bananas. They also contain amino acids, iron, protein, and calcium, which can all help strengthen the body, immune system, and bones.
