How Can Moringa Help You Lose Weight?

1. They have 4 times the vitamin A of carrots – Vitamin A is an important nutrient because it supports healthy vision, immune system function, and is a major player in the development of healthy bone, skin, and teeth. Without it, we can have poor vision, bone problems, digestive disorders and more.
2. There is 7 times the vitamin C of oranges – Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants, but it is also important for maintaining the health of your bones, skin, blood cells and connective tissue. It is also great for preventing lots of diseases and protecting the body from certain cancers. It is also helpful in fighting symptoms of colds while boosting immune function.
3.  Moringa has 15 times the calcium of milk – Calcium is essential for bones and teeth, but it also helps our blood to form clots when we are injured, it helps nerves communicate signals from the brain to muscles and it can help manage cholesterol.
4. There is 3 times the iron in spinach – Iron is an essential mineral because it is what transports oxygen to all parts of our body, makes up a lot of the red blood cells in our bodies and is part of everything from the immune system to brain function.
5. A 21 gram serving of powdered leaves delivers 8% of your RDA of magnesium – This is a nutrient that is responsible for lots of different bodily functions, including regulating blood pressure, nerve function and blood sugar levels. It is important in protein and DNA production, as well as bone production, too.
6. Moringa contains 3 times the potassium of bananas – Potassium is what ensures that our cells and body fluids remain balanced (it is an “electrolyte” that managed water throughout the body). It is also important for our muscles to function, our nerves to communicate and for our hearts to beat at a regular rate.
7. It offers 11% of your RDA of riboflavin (in a 21 gram serving of powdered leaves) – Also known as vitamin B2, it is what our body needs in order to turn carbohydrates into energy and it helps us properly digest and use the other macronutrients.
8. 8. It contains nine times the protein of yogurt – Protein is a “macronutrient” because our bodies need so much of it (along with fat and carbohydrate). Protein makes enzymes (which you should think of as materials needed for ALL body functions). It is also in our hormones, bones, muscles, skin, blood and cartilage.
9. It provides 19% of your RDA of vitamin B6 (in a 21 gram serving of powdered leaves) – Our brains communicate using chemicals called “neurotransmitters” and vitamin B6 is essential for the production of many of these neurotransmitters.
10. As part of your daily diet, the benefits of Moringa also include improvements in digestive health in general -This is because it is an effective anti-inflammatory and this supports much better digestion thanks to its ability to “treat stomach ulcers, liver disease, kidney damage, fungal or yeast infections (such as Candida), digestive complaints, and infections”

DIET WITH MORINGA- Keep in mind that, in addition to Moringa supplements and powders, you can also consume it in the form of organic Moringa seed oil. As a light cooking oil it is safe to use, and even better if you don’t heat it at all but simply ingest it in small quantities. For instance, using it in a health shake, as salad dressing and in recipes where “a rich, nutty flavor, such as stir-fried dishes and marinades” is desired.

The leaves are often used to make a nutrient-dense tea, the pods are often used for the organic Moringa oils, and even the seeds are being used for such unique tasks as purifying water. Though there are no set or recommended dosages for Moringa, it is well known that even in small amounts (such as a half to one teaspoon each day) can yield amazing results.
