Q: Are Moringa seeds healthy?
Q: Should we take Moringa seeds/leaves?
A: I have received so many questions about this Moringa that I decided to find out about it. Here’s what I found out. It is touted to be a Miracle tree and a super food containing about 92 nutrients and about 46 anti-oxidants. Every part of this plant is believed to be useful from the leaves, root, fruits to the seeds. It is thought to cure myriads of diseases and prevent scores of others. It is thought useful in purifying water, effective against bacteria and fungi, anti-hypertensive and cholesterol lowering activities etc.
Some studies suggest that more work needs to be done to confirm its precise actions but one thing appears to be clear, there are clearly phytochemicals in the leaves that make the claims to curative and preventive care, factual.
I would also say that given that it is a food supplement (even if it is a super food), be sure to get most of your nutrients from a healthy diet made up of more fruits and vegetables. Remember that supplements plug holes and are not supposed to be the mainstay of diet. Also check out the contents and confirm that you are not allergic to any of the components before use.
Have a great week ahead š
