Introduction
Talking about health benefits, I will use this section to share some of the best health benefits that my family and I have gained from using moringa.
While the leaves may have a flavor that is not familiar to regular greens like spinach, kale, etc. they blend well into foods and easily take on the aroma of the food in question. Now, lets count its benefits:
1. Moringa nourishes and protects the skin and hair. Using the seed oil from moringa contains protein that improves the production of keratin. With the right amount of keratin in the body, your skin becomes supple and your hair fuller, and healthier. Meanwhile, the seed oil contains detoxifying and hydrating elements to boost a protecting process too.
2. Moringa treats stomach problems with ease. Stomach disorders like constipation, gastritis, etc. are eased through the production of antibiotic and antibacterial properties from moringa. Vitamin B is also highly produced when consuming moringa to aid with smooth digestion.
3. I have realized a magical treatment of mood disorders when using moringa. Depression, fatigue, and anxiety are curbed when moringa is present in your meals.
4. It is excellent for bone health while supporting the production of calcium and phosphorus for stronger and healthier bones.
5. Moringa protects the liver against damages caused by anti-tubercular drugs too.
With these attractive benefits, it is not surprising that moringa is shipped across nations to improve health systems. Previously linked to herbal medicines, I have seen its inclusion in modern medicines and foods. Thats how good its offerings are.
Therefore, while we can include both dried and fresh moringa into our meals, how about you get yourself a collection, and lets get cooking!
