The healthiest food we can eat is actually the healthiest food for society and the planet
too.

As people today feel like their immune system is under attack and plastic and pharmaceutical pollution has escalated to dizzying heights, an ancient tree with some of
Mother Nature�s most closely guarded secrets is coming to the rescue.

When you hear about something called a �Drumstick Tree�, your first impression might
be to think of a turkey or a rock band. But the Moringa (Oleifera) Tree, a native of the
ancient Himalayan mountains in Asia, is now being taken seriously by many western
cultures as one of the most nutrient-rich plants in the world for its amazing benefits
backed by many years of research.

In fact, it's more popular name, the �Miracle� or �Never Die� tree, is a testament to its
amazing effects on its devotees who speak of their �incurable� diseases miraculously
disappearing.


It is, in fact, the most nutrient-dense part of this plant, the leaf, when artfully ground
into a fine powder, that is known to give people almost a supernatural ability to recover
from illness and to come alive to become the best versions of themselves.

Besides its stratospheric levels of vitamins, minerals, and protein these tiny leaves
contain, the plant�s high bioavailability is so important to give the body what it is craving
for vital health.

I should know, as I experienced its power after I dragged my sick sore body to my first
Ayurvedic hospital in India where I was introduced to the tiny magical leaves of moringa
for the first time in a life-changing experience.

My pilgrimage of so many thousands of miles ultimately bore good fruit as I was able to
get my body back to homeostasis to be free of dangerous and draining medications.

But what might moringa do for you?

Of course this may be hard to say, with every person�s body being different and our own
ailments and history being a combination of so many environmental and genetic factors.

The great news, however, is that moringa leaf powder, being so broad spectrum in its
attributes, really has something for everyone, and for society and the planet too.

OUR PERSONAL HEALTH

If one wants to improve one�s own health, it�s hard to find a better or more versatile
match.

With adaptogenic benefits against stress, for skin and hair, immunity, muscle growth,
fatigue, sleep, digestion, vision, energy, heart, bones and joints, and blood sugar, it is no
wonder it has been long known to cure over 300 diseases.

Why the Healing Power?

Moringa�s miraculous potency is because of its superconcentration of the best vitamins,
minerals, and amino acids.

Just one cup of fresh, chopped leaves not only has all the essential amino acids, but also
boasts

Protein: 2 grams
Vitamin B6: 19% of the RDA
Vitamin C: 12% of the RDA
Iron: 11% of the RDA
Riboflavin (B2): 11% of the RDA
Vitamin A (from beta-carotene): 9% of the RDA
Magnesium: 8% of the RDA
In fact, gram for gram, it has

14x more calcium than milk
4x more potassium than bananas
9x more iron than spinach
2x more protein than yogurt
2x more vitamin A than carrots
4x more fiber than oats
One can go on and on about its vitamin E, copper, zinc, and chlorophyll content too.

But best of all one doesn�t have to worry about a big problem with other greens,
oxalates.


While other greens like spinach have soluble oxalates that can cause kidney and other
issues, even to a life-threatening degree, moringa�s oxalates are insoluble, so that pass
right out of your body, not causing the damage possible with other greens.

Antioxidants

As you may know, its hard to have too many antioxidants, as there are so many free
radicals in our environment and body that can wreak havoc on our health.

This is why it�s great to know that moringa also has one among the very best antioxidant
values of any food. With an ORAC worth of 157,000, it�s 6x the antioxidants of goji
berries, a true powerhouse of protection.

Antioxidants are essential for preserving, repairing and preventing cell harm as well as
minimizing aging of the skin since they assist by counteracting oxidative stress and the
effects of free radicals, the unstable molecules that harm collagen, causing skin dryness,
fine lines, wrinkles and premature aging.

And are absolutely essential to keep beautiful, supple skin.

HOW TO SELECT THE BEST MORINGA:

Moringa is becoming increasingly available on the market around the world as people
discover its various health benefits. In fact, some doctors are actually afraid to talk
about moringa with their patients as they are afraid to lose their customers to their new
healthy lives!

Though the mystique around moringa has become that great, it is also important to
remember that not all of it is created equal. These amazing plants are grown in
developing countries where infrastructure and harvesting practices may be inadequate.

Harvested moringa leaves are sometimes washed with impure water which can contain
bacteria and other harmful microbes.


This is why it is highly recommended to go with a brand that uses only certified organic
moringa to make sure the powder was produced with a high standard of quality and is
free from any dangerous substances. It is also a good sign that the powder has the most
potent concentration of nutrients.

WHAT DOES MORINGA TASTE LIKE?

A lot of people are worried about what moringa will actually taste like. If you are used to
McDonald�s fries and shakes and other junk food, moringa actually may not be the best
place to start.

By itself, moringa has a green, earthy taste � like a cross between spinach and
asparagus. Some do have it with a bit of water or juice, but if you aren�t crazy about the
taste, you can also mix it easily in your food or drinks for a nutritious boost.


What About the Planet?

The moringa tree, or moringa oleifera, does not just produce what is arguably the most
healing nutrition of any plant. It does much more, and does so sustainably and quickly,
with this entirely edible plant growing as much as 7 meters in one year.

This tree also has the ability to multiply its benefits, producing 400-600 edible pods
annually within 3 years of its initial planting. These edible pods have 20 seeds each,
which not only can be eaten, but can also produce new trees so that a mature moringa
tree can be the source of 10s of thousands of new trees within a handful of years.


The Miracle Tree Transforming Societies

Due to its nutritional benefits, people are encouraged to use moringa to curb hunger and
malnutrition, especially in regions where crops typically struggle due to periods of
dryness and drought.

These places are also ideal for moringa. While other crops may fail, moringa can still
thrive, even with little water and poor soil.

Indeed, while those such as pregnant mothers are typically hardest hit by famine (the
result of lack of water and poor soil), moringa has been a godsend for mothers to
augment breast milk production needed so badly by preterm infants.

Taking advantage of moringa extracts is not limited to people living in disadvantaged
regions. It is a medicinal plant that benefits people in all corners of the planet.


Water Purifier

If you care about the health and sustainability of the planet, you�ll be happy to know
moringa is making a difference where poor infrastructure has challenged the future of
various societies.

This starts with the plant�s ability � through its seeds � to purify water.

The seeds have flocculating and coagulating properties that make organic matter
present in water to form sediments and settle at the bottom of the filter. After
sedimentation, the water can be purified, further making it suitable for human and
animal consumption.

The seed pods of the tree are also used to remove organic pollutants and pesticides from
contaminated wastewater.

These important facts are important to disseminate as civilization is at a crossroads
during the current crisis.

In addition to its medicine growth factors, the plant has meant a blossoming of
subsistence economies with its ability to produce animal feed, dyes, and tannins (for
commercial and industrial use), and even natural pesticides (think about keeping away
those terrible locusts in Africa!).

In addition, to help preserve food in times of plenty, moringa leaf extract may also be
used as a food preservative. It increases the shelf life of meat by reducing oxidation.


Consider This:

Over a billion people lack clean drinking water access: more than 1 of every 10 people
on the planet. Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours carrying water
every day. The average woman in rural Africa walks almost 5 miles each day to haul 40
pounds of water.

But fresh water is an essential ingredient for all human life.

And now over 2.7 billion experience water scarcity at least one month a year. By 2025,
two-thirds of the world's population may be facing water shortages based on current
projections.

We need the sustainability and versatility of moringa as a water purifier more than ever,
if we truly care about developing societies.

Moringa Tree Reforestation

The great news is that moringa grows fast and can reach almost 10 feet within the first
year, and up to 30 feet when it's fully mature.

People living in areas without enough tree cover are encouraged to plant this miracle
tree to promote reforestation. Planting Moringa trees can benefit the soil, making it
healthier for farming in the future.

Many regions of the world are experiencing deforestation, including South America
(Brazil), Southeast Asia (Indonesia), Eastern Europe, and Central Africa (Congo). These
areas can significantly benefit from planting Moringa trees to increase their food security,
income, and replenish the nutrients lost in the soil.

Imagine spreading this secret knowledge to combat the destruction of our forests and
our dwindling oxygen supply.


How to add Moringa to Your Diet

Besides eating from the tree itself, there are many moringa products available in health
food stores that you can incorporate in your diet.

You will mostly find Moringa in powder form, although there are other products like tea,
wellness shots, and energy bars. You can add the powder to soups, salads, drinks, and
smoothies.

You can also roast the seeds or cook them with the leaves, or mix the seeds with other
cereals to increase the nutrient value of your meal. Besides, Moringa oil is one of the
best cooking oil in the market.


The Bottom Line: the Healthiest Food We Can Eat

Moringa is a high nutrient plant that has arguably more benefits than many other plants.
But it�s not just nutrition for you.

It solves so many of the planet's greatest crises: It provides for the health of the planet
and society too.

Often described as the new kale, it's rich in essential minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals, and highly-digestible proteins. Unlike leafy greens like spin, almost all
the parts of this plant can be used for different purposes, can purify water, and grows
where most vegetables simply can�t.

Moringa, unlike other greens, is low in soluble oxalates, so one can quickly restore one's
body with maximum nutrition, as one takes advantage of the body's built-in immune
system and ability to heal.

Finally, compared to other superfoods, moringa is very affordable. You are really missing
out if you aren't making it part of your diet.

Would you like to learn more about moringa or even see if it's right to incorporate into
your own diet?


There�s also all sorts of other uses in this free e-book with all sorts of moringa research,
hacks, and recipes, so you can enjoy your moringa in everything from salad, yogurt, to
chocolate to muffins. You can even have it in your cocoa!

Remember to support sustainable agriculture and give your body what it needs to
express its full vitality and function. We need a lot of healthy people who care about the
health of the planet to combat the misinformation spread by the pharmaceutical industry, who don�t always have our health as top priority.

So make it a moringa day. Civilization depends on it and we need your amazing health
to make a difference today and for our future.
