Detox In A Box

Moringa has been dubbed the most nutritious tree in the world by many researches and if referred to as the ‘miracle tree’. In 2008, the National institute for Health names it ‘Plant of the Year’. Moringa grows wild in many Asian and South American countries and is a major part of the some cultural cuisines and herbal medicines. For many decades Moringa was underestimated in the west as just another edible leafy green, but now with further scientific research into food nutrients and facts – we know that Moringa is a very special Superfood. It can boast the name ‘Superfood’ because of its vast macro- nutrients, trace elements, minerals and vitamins.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS ABOUT MORINGA

Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking moringa tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking moringa tea reduced the risk of oesophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. At The University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in moringa tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking moringa tea lowers total cholesterol levels.

New evidence is emerging that moringa tea can may even assist with those trying to loose weight. In November 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.  Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and moringa tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. Moringa’s content of Vitamin B’s stimulates & burns energy, whilst it’s broad nutrient delivery lets the body feel satisfied – instead of craving bad substitutes like sugar and carbohydrates; thus lowering appetite and assisting with weight loss.

Moringa Oleifera has been recognised by the World Heatlh Organisation as the possible answer to malnutrition and infant mortality in the third world. They have been using it to combat malnutrition issues for over 40 years.
