Let This Food do the fighting!
The National Institutes of Health awarded a
certain newly-identified cancer-fighting food its “Botanical of the Year”
designation! That’s saying something, because NIH is not exactly a friend of alternative
medicine or sound nutrition.
When the cancer establishment is on board for a
plant treatment, it’s time to sit up and pay attention! Here’s the story. . .
It’s called Moringa oleifera,
and according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s website, both in
vitro and animal studies show that the leaf, seed and root extracts of this
plant contain anticancer benefits – and more.
In fact, Moringa shows every sign of being a
potent superfood that provides a vast array of nutrients in one, neat package.
It looks like a good way to make up for our tendency not to eat enough
vegetables.
A
long history of healing…
Although modern medical researchers are slowly
discovering the powerful potential Moringa offers, natural healing traditions
in Europe, Asia and Africa have known the value of the Moringa plant for
centuries. For example:
Ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians used Moringa
oil for perfume and protective skin lotions.
Indians use Moringa leaves to stabilize blood
pressure… treat bronchitis and inflammation of mucus membranes… and even to
kill parasites.
Medics in the Philippines often use the Moringa
plant to treat anemia.
West Africans use Moringa leaf juice to control
blood sugar levels in diabetics.
But Moringa is not merely a healing potion in less
medically advanced cultures…
Modern scientific studies now show this miracle
tree provides nutrients that can fight even the most deadly diseases.
If you have a vitamin-A-deficient diet can consume
Moringa, which is rich in not only vitamin A but many other nutrients. If you
consume dried Moringa leaves you will gained more body weight. The Moringa
leaves were successful in restoring healthy vitamin A levels in the body.
In another study, some properties of the Moringa
plant appear to play a role in preventing the growth of cancer tumors.
In general, studies have shown Moringa induces
cancer cell apoptosis (or self-destruction), inhibits tumor cell growth,
reduces cancer cell proliferation and lowers the level of internal reactive
oxygen species (ROS, or free radicals) that cause oxidative stress and DNA
damage associated with cancer.
So what’s the secret to Moringa’s healing
power?
MEGA minerals in every serving!
It’s a sad fact that about 70% of Americans don’t
eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables needed in a healthy diet.
This means a lack of proper vitamins, minerals and
nutrients to protect your health. But Moringa may provide a simple solution to
this bad habit. For starters, Moringa provides the nine essential amino acids
your body needs to renew and rebuild itself.
What’s more, when you do a gram-by-gram comparison
of some of Moringa’s top nutrients you’ll see that each serving of supplements
made from this remarkable plant provides:
·
25
times more iron than spinach—to promote healthy blood throughout your body.
·
17
times more calcium than milk—to strengthen your bones throughout your life.
This is good to know if you’ve stopped consuming milk products and you’re
worried about your calcium levels. As you may know, calcium supplements are a
dubious source.
·
15
times more potassium than bananas—to help your heart maintain its steady
rhythm.
·
10
times more vitamin A than carrots—to help give you eagle-eye vision, and other
benefits.
·
9
times more protein than yogurt—to help you build and maintain muscle mass.
The Moringa tree a virtual “vitamin factory”. Making Moringa part of your diet can help disease-proof
your body with powerful anti-aging and anti-inflammatory substances. It also
can help prevent your blood sugar from spiraling out of control — and even
reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
