A magical plant-- Moringa oleifera

Today, Xiaobian wants to introduce a magical plant-Moringa

What is Moringa?

Moringa is a typical tropical multifunctional plant with a long history of eating, rich and comprehensive nutrition.

The Church World Service has established organizations in many countries to promote Moringa cultivation, with the aim of using Moringa to help fight malnutrition in West Africa and boost the autoimmunity of AIDS patients (clinical trials are underway).

From extensive practical applications to recent research results have confirmed that Moringa is the best plant protein found so far, rich in protein, dietary fiber, folic acid, biotin, a variety of minerals and rich in vitamins.

Therefore, it has been praised by the scientific community as "mother's best friend" and "diamond in plants".

new resource food

Approved by the Ministry of Health in 2012: Moringa leaf is a new resource food for Moringa.

Moringa contains

nutrients

01

three major nutrients

The macro nutrients in Moringa leaves-protein, fat and carbohydrates are the three major material bases that constitute the living organism and are macro nutrients that the human body must absorb from food.

Protein deficiency often leads to poor growth and development of children, weight loss, anemia, edema, etc. Common cardiovascular diseases, cancer and obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases, are related to protein, fat and carbohydrates.

02

minerals

Moringa is rich in calcium, potassium, iron and other minerals, which play different important roles in the human body. Some are important components of human tissues, some are active factors of enzymes and vitamins, and some are indispensable substances for life activities.

Calcium is the main component of the body's bones and teeth. In children's growth and development, long-term calcium intake is insufficient, often accompanied by protein and vitamin D deficiency, leading to rickets, chondrosis and osteoporosis.

Iron is the main component of hemoglobin, an essential element for carrying oxygen compounds, an essential active factor for enzymes and vitamins, and plays an important physiological function in the human body.

Iron deficiency mainly causes anemia, mental retardation of children, decreased immunity. Iron deficiency is a common problem, accounting for about 30% of the world's population.

Potassium is an important component in regulating body fluid balance. Potassium deficiency is mainly manifested as muscle weakness, paralysis, arrhythmia, striated muscle lysis and renal dysfunction.

03

vitamin

Moringa leaves are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin.

Vitamin A(retinol), which protects the brain and retina, plays a vital role in the development of the fetal and neonatal nervous system.

Vitamin E deficiency causes red blood cell destruction, muscle degeneration, anemia, reproductive dysfunction and low immunity.

Folic acid (vitamin M) deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia and has been linked to birth defects, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Folic acid in food loss rate of 50%~ 90% after cooking and processing, dietary folic acid absorption rate of 25%~ 50%, so a lot of people with folic acid deficiency, especially women and infants. Studies have confirmed that in China's high-risk population of birth defects, 400ug/d folic acid supplementation in women from 1 month before pregnancy to 3 months in the first trimester can reduce the incidence of neural tube defects by 85%.

Pantothenic acid deficiency causes growth retardation and reduced food utilization, affecting the skin, liver, kidneys and nervous system.

A deficiency of biotin (vitamin B7, coenzyme R or vitamin H) causes conjunctivitis, alopecia, ataxia and slow growth; a deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause seborrheic dermatitis.
