 benefits-of-moringa

Attention plant lovers near and far, I have stumbled upon yet again a vitamin packed plant hailing from Asia and Africa that may boost your immune system and support healthy blood sugar levels: Moringa.

What really is moringa?

A plant, of course! An extremely nutrient dense plant that is packed with amino acids, antioxidants, and proteins to help sustain your glowing health.  I stumbled upon my own package of Moringa compliments of Green Virgin Products and before them, had no idea what Moringa was.  Because of my passion for nutrition and research, I dove right in to figure out what this plant was and how it affects our bodies. This is what I found:

– Acts as an anti-inflammatory: A study at the Institute of Bioagricultural Sciences, in Tapai found 44 antifungal compounds in this plant.

– Acts as your skins side kick: 1 tsp. of moringa from Green Virgin Products contains about 300 IU of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is used in a variety of beauty products and is known to improve the skins appearance by reducing wrinkles and signs of aging. 

– Can improve cardiac health: This source discusses some studies that show a decrease in plasma lipids (which can cause cardiac disease if they are elevated).

– Increase alertness with B Vitamins: Life in Health lists all of the B vitamins found in Moringa along with a list of amino acids its other benefits.
