Moringa benefits

Moringa

Moringa is known as many names such as a miracle tree, tree of life, mother's best friend etc. This tree hasn't been used for thousands of years mainly in Africa and in india. If you haven't tried it it is definitely worth giving it a chance. Consistency is everything, especially when it comes to your health. The flowers, leaves, pods, roots and seeds are used. The most common and safest way to use it is the leaves. 

Moringa contains isothiocyanates. These are groups of compounds on the same ones found in the cruciferous family or plants. Which includes broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, radishes, turnips, wild cabbage, maca, horseradish, kale, wild mustard, arugula etc. Some of these are a direct hybrid of mustard seed. The isothiocyanates compounds help with inflammation, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-diabetic, free radicals etc

A plant is only as nutritious as the soil and environment they grew up in. This same mindset should be taken if it is something toxin in the ground.

 Depending on the soil 3.5 oz of moringa leaves has 4 times the amount of beta carotene then carrots, 7 times the amount of vitamin C in oranges, 3 times more calcium than cow's milk, 3 times the amount of potassium than banana, same amount of protein as a beef steak.

It also contains antioxidants which help reduce free radicals. Free radicals are a natural part of cell metabolism. But too many of them cause oxidative stress which is damaging. Anytime there are free radicals there is some form of inflammation. Think of free radicals as fire🔥 antioxidants as water 💦.  Moringa is good for abnormal levels of blood sugar. While at the same time helping increase insulin sensitive. 

Assists with digestion, constipation, bloating, gas, acid reflux, reduces candida overgrowth, fiber aka prebiotics etc. A prebiotic is fiber which exists in fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds etc. Fiber is not found in any form of meat I’m talking about seafood, fried kangaroo pouch, chicken, boiled platypus beak/ tail, beef, snake scales, pork, BBQ turtle back, bison, smoked patrick starfish legs, turkey, stir goose neck, elf, deer etc.

Your whole digestive tract from your mouth to your anus has microbiota.  Which has bacteria, fungi, viruses etc which have good and bad functions.  Whenever the bad functions happen problems will happen. You may have heard of someone having H pyloi or candida.  Most people have H pyloi and everyone has candida.  It's the overgrowth of these bacteria that is the problem.  

Prebiotics is what the bacteria mainly feeds on, probiotics are the bacteria and postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotics.  Examples of postbiotics byproducts are bacterial lysates (bacteria compounds) , cell wall fragments, cell-free supernatants (bacteria and yeast compounds), exopolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, serotonin (90% of the production), short-chain fatty acids ,Vitamin B1 thiamine, Vitamin B5 pantothenic acid, Vitamin B7 biotin, Vitamin B9 folate, Vitamin K etc.

Interesting enough, they have built a $50,000,000,000 plus industry mainly based off of people being uneducated or miseducated on their health.  This is why education must become mandatory and it shouldn't be seen as optional. 

Fiber is a carbohydrate that has 4 calories. Over 90% of people do not get into fiber daily. There are 3 forms of fiber soluble, insoluble and resistance starch but we will focus on the first two. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t. Soluble fiber creates a gel when it dissolves also is good for cholesterol and sugar. Insoluble fiber attracts water into your feces that makes it softer and simpler to defecate without stain. Besides not getting enough fiber, not getting enough water leads to constipation. Insoluble fiber also helps increase insulin sensitivity.

Plants usually contain a mixture of both types. It’s mixed views on if you should count fiber for or against your total calorie intake. Since soluble fiber feeds the bacteria, some say it should be counted towards are total calories. Some say even with that it shouldn’t count towards are total calories but subtracted. To keep it safe instead of multiplying 4 calories per gram with fiber multiple by 1.5 or 2.

This plant has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral etc properties. The body is constantly on your attack no matter where you go. Daily we breathe in millions of bacteria, funguses, viruses etc. This is why we have to constantly consume things that will help the body not become infected. 

Moringa helps protect the liver and enhances detoxification. This plant helps with digestion flow, constipation, prebiotics, fiber aka prebiotic etc. it has been used in skin care products for a while and helps produce breast milk. Reduces the effects of chemotherapy. Good for regulating blood sugar levels, insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity.

It also contains antioxidants which help reduce free radicals. Free radicals are a natural part of cell metabolism. But too many of them cause oxidative stress which is damaging. Anytime there are free radicals there is some form of inflammation. Think of free radicals as fire🔥 antioxidants as water 💦.

A individual should not take moringa if they are on diabetes medication, on blood thinners, calcium blockers, cardiovascular medication etc
