Goodness on Earth (Moringa Oleifera)
Moringa Oleifera contains more than 92 nutrients and 46 types of antioxidants. Moringa is said to cure about three
hundred diseases and almost have all the vitamins found in fruits and vegetables
.
Even in a larger proportions. With all the health benefits of this miracle herb, it can
easily be termed as the most nutritious herb on Earth. There are no side-effects which also has tried, tested, documented
and proved evidence to support the same. It can be consumed by small children and
adults. Today, millions world over have started using Moringa based products in
porridge, pastas, bread and to reap the everlasting health benefits of the extraordinary ‘Moringa’ herb. Some Facts about Moringa- (Excerpt From The Book “Miracle Tree” by Author Monica G.Marcu,Pharm.D., PH.D.)

of Moringa- ( Gram-for-gram comparison
of nutritional data) 2times –the Protein of Yogurt 3times – the Potassium of Bananas 4times – the Calcium of Milk 4times – the Vitamin A of Carrots 7times –the Vitamin C of Oranges The Vitamin component of Moringa Leaves: Moringa has Vitamin A (Beta Carotene),
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2
(Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin
B6 Pyrodixine), Vitamin B7 (Biotin),
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D
(Cholecalciferol), Vitamin E (Tocopherol) and Vitamin K. Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Vitamin A is a vitamin which is needed by the retina of
the eye in the form of a specific
metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule
retinal. This molecule is absolutely
necessary for both “Scotopic”scotopic and
color vision. Vitamin A also functions in a very different role, as an irreversibly
oxidized form retinoic acid, which is an
important hormone-like growth factor
for epithelial and other cells. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps fuel the body by converting blood sugar into
energy. It keeps the mucous membranes
healthy and is essential for nervous
system, cardiovascular and muscular function. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Like
the other B vitamins, it plays a key role in
energy metabolism, and for the
metabolism of fats, ketone bodies,
carbohydrates, and proteins. It is the
central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all
“Flavoprotein”flavoproteins. Vitamin B3 (Niacin), like all B complex vitamins, are necessary for healthy skin,
hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the
nervous system function properly. Niacin
also helps the body make various sex and
stress-related hormones in the adrenal
glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and
reducing cholesterol levels in the blood. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters
serotonin and norepinephrine and for
myelin formation. Pyridoxine deficiency
in adults principally affects the peripheral
nerves, skin, mucous membranes, and the
blood cell system. In children, the central nervous system (CNS) is also affected.
Deficiency can occur in people with
uremia, alcoholism, cirrhosis,
hyperthyroidism, malabsorption
syndromes, congestive heart failure (CHF)
, and in those taking certain medications. Vitamin B7 (Biotin) has vital metabolic functions. Without biotin as a co-factor,
many enzymes do not work properly, and
serious complications can occur, including
varied diseases of the skin, intestinal
tract, and nervous system. Biotin can help
address high blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and is
helpful in maintaining healthy hair and
nails, decreasing insulin resistance and
improving glucose tolerance, and possibly
preventing birth defects. It plays a role in
energy metabolism, and has been used to treat alopecia, cancer, Crohn’s disease,
hair loss, Parkinson’s disease, peripheral neuropathy, Rett syndrome, seborrheic
dermatitis, and vaginal candidiasis. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)is one of the safest and most effective nutrients,
experts say. It may not be the cure for
the common cold (though it’s thought to
help prevent more serious complications).
But the benefits of vitamin C may include
protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease,
prenatal health problems, eye disease,
and even skin wrinkling. Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) is essential for promoting calcium absorption in the
gut and maintaining adequate serum
calcium and phosphate concentrations to
enable normal mineralization of bone
and prevent hypocalcemic tetany. It is
also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and
osteoclasts . Without sufficient vitamin D,
bones can become thin, brittle, or
misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency
prevents rickets in children and
osteomalacia in adults. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect
older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D
has other roles in human health, including
modulation of neuromuscular and
immune function and reduction of
inflammation. Vitamin E describes a family of 8 antioxidants, 4 tocopherols and 4
tocotrienols. alpha-tocopherol (a-
tocopherol) is the only form of vitamin E
that is actively maintained in the human
body and is therefore, the form of
vitamin E found in the largest quantities in the blood and tissue. Vitamin E, a fat-
soluble vitamin, protects vitamin A and
essential fatty acids from oxidation in the
body cells and prevents breakdown of
body tissues. Vitamin K is necessary for normal clotting of blood in humans. Specifically, vitamin K is required for the liver to
make factors that are necessary for blood
to properly clot (coagulate), including
factor II (prothrombin), factor VII
(proconvertin), factor IX (thromboplastin component), and factor X (Stuart factor).
Other clotting factors that depend on
vitamin K are protein C, protein S, and
protein Z. Deficiency of vitamin K or
disturbances of liver function (for
example, severe liver failure) may lead to deficiencies of clotting factors and excess
bleeding. Amino Acids: The foundation of our body. Our bodies need twenty different amino
acids or proteins that are the building
blocks for a healthy body. Nonessential
amino acids are those that the body can
synthesize for itself, provided there is
enough nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen available. Essential amino acids
are those supplied by the diet. They must
be consumed as the human body either
cannot make them at all or cannot make
them in sufficient quantity to meet its
needs. ?Of the 20 amino acids required by our bodies, eleven of them are
nonessential and nine are essential. Functions of Amino Acids: Proteins act as
enzymes , hormones , and antibodies .
They maintain fluid balance and acid and
base balance. They also transport
substances such as oxygen, vitamins and
minerals to target cells throughout the body. Structural proteins, such as collagen
and keratin, are responsible for the
formation of bones, teeth, hair, and the
outer layer of skin and they help
maintain the structure of blood vessels
and other tissues. Enzymes are proteins that facilitate
chemical reactions without being
changed in the process. Hormones (chemical messengers) are proteins that
travel to one or more specific target
tissues or organs, and many have important regulatory functions. Insulin ,
for example, plays a key role in
regulating the amount of glucose in the
blood. The body manufactures antibodies
(giant protein molecules), which combat
invading antigens. Antigens are usually foreign substances such as bacteria and
viruses that have entered the body and
could potentially be harmful.
Immunoproteins, also called
immunoglobulins or antibodies, defend
the body from possible attack by these invaders by binding to the antigens and
inactivating them. If these critical components for a healthy
body are not provided as part of a
healthy diet, the body will look for other
sources for them. This can include
breakdown of our organs, leading to
chronic problems such as liver and kidney problems, diabetes and heart disease
among others. MORINGA AS FOOD Moringa is considered a complete food as it contains all of the
essential Amino Acids required for a
healthy body. The dried leaf is a
nutritional powerhouse and contains all
of the following Amino Acids. ISOLEUCINE builds proteins and enzymes and it provides ingredients used to create
other essential biochemical components
in the body, some of which promote
energy and stimulate the brain to
maintain a state of alertness. LEUCINE works with isoleucine to build proteins and enzymes which enhance the
body’s energy and alertness. LYSINE ensures your body absorbs the right amount of calcium. It also helps
form collagen used in bone cartilage and
connective tissues. In addition, lysine aids in the production of antibodies,
hormones, and enzymes. Recent studies
have shown lysine improves the balance of nutrients that reduce viral growth. METHIONINE primarily supplies sulfur to your body. It is known to prevent hair, skin, and nail problems while lowering
cholesterol levels as it increases the
liver’s production of lecithin. Methionine
reduces liver fat and protects the
kidneys, which reduces bladder irritation. PHENYLALAINE produces the chemical needed to transmit signals between
nerve cells and the brain. It can help with
concentration and alertness, reduce
hunger pains and improve memory and
mood. THREONINE is an important part of collagen, elastin, and enamel proteins. It
assists metabolism and helps prevent fat
build-up in the liver while boosting the
body’s digestive and intestinal tracts. TRYPTOPHAN supports the immune system, alleviates insomnia, reduces
anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of
migraine headaches. It also is beneficial
in decreasing the risk of artery and heart
spasms as it works with lysine to reduce
cholesterol levels. VALINE is important in promoting a sharp mind, coordinated muscles, and a calm
mood. Non-essential amino acids in Moringa ALANINE is important for energy in muscle tissue, brain, and central nervous
system. It strengthens the immune
system by producing antibodies. Alanine
also helps in the healthy metabolism of
sugars and organic acids in the body. ARGININE causes the release of the growth hormones considered crucial for
optimal muscle growth and tissue repair.
It also improves immune responses to
bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells while
promoting the healing of the body’s wounds. ASPARTIC ACID helps rid the body of ammonia created by cellular waste.
When the ammonia enters the circulatory
system it can act as a highly toxic
substance which can damage the central
nervous system. Recent studies have also
shown that aspartic acid may decrease fatigue and increase endurance. CYSTINE functions as an antioxidant and is a powerful aid to the body in
protecting against radiation and
pollution. It can help slow the aging
process, deactivate free radicals, and
neutralize toxins. It also aids in protein
synthesis and presents cellular change. It is necessary for the formation of new
skin cells, which aids in the recovery
from burns and surgical operations. GLUTAMIC ACID is food for the brain. It improves mental capacities, helps speed
the healing of ulcers, reduces fatigue, and
curbs sugar cravings. GLYCINE promotes the release of oxygen required in the cell-making process. It is
also important in the manufacturing of
hormones responsible for a strong
immune system. HISTIDINE is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, ulcers, and
anemia. A lack of histidine may lead to
poor hearing. SERINE is important in storing glucose in the liver and muscles. Its antibodies help
strengthen the body’s immune system.
Plus, it synthesizes fatty acid sheaths
around nerve fibers. PROLINE is extremely important for the proper function of your joints and
tendons. It also helps maintain and
strengthen heart muscles. TYROSINE transmits nerve impulses to your brain. It helps overcome depression;
improves memory; increases mental
alertness; plus promotes the healthy
functioning of the thyroid, adrenal, and
pituitary glands.
