Hi steemitians,
Am from asian country and we use moringa leaves and drumstick in almost everyday in our daily meals.
When all these modern packed and junk food has already been replaced our dining table, as a consequences all the modern disease also knocking the door of our body.
It’s time to go back to those gifts, that nature has given to us, the miracles we have already forgotten.
Moringa leaves is rich in many essential nutrients. Like iron, potassium, zinc and copper. Also vitamin A and B . Note that it has Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6
Lets now see the benefits :
1. Lowering blood pressure
Do you know what potassium does?
It is most important compound that our body needs to keep a healthy kidneys. Potassium help to balance the negative effect of salt.
Surprisingly moringa leaves has more potassium compared to banana (almost 4 times).
Hence people having high blood pressure should consume moringa everyday as part of their meals.
2. For skin and vision
Carrots are very good for vision, you know …. right?
Because carrot contains beta carotene . Same way moringa leaves contains more beta carotine than carrot.
Daily just 100 grams of moringa leaves is enough to load you with the required amount of beta carotene.
Again vitamin C in the moringa leaves are good for your skin .
