HIDDEN BENEFITS! Of CONSUMING MORINGA TEA EVERY DAY (How To Use It)

It's the trendy plant in the scientific community, but what's true about all that's said about it? Today, I explain why a daily spoonful of Moringa can turn around the health of our heart, our sugar levels, and our appearance, and also what this medicinal plant has that has been compared with so many medications in recent years. Today, you will know what dose to take to obtain its benefits, how to prepare Moringa tea or infusion, and who is better off not consuming it without knowing several precautions first. Today, I share with you the benefits and risks of consuming Moringa daily. Moringa oleifera is a tree native to northern India, and its leaves have been revered and used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. And although Moringa has been used all these centuries, both in food and in medicinal remedies, it is now that science is beginning to confirm these benefits, which are mainly due to its high concentration of nutrients, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds. And it is this triad of ingredients that will consolidate Moringa as one of the most powerful and versatile medicinal herbs that exist. So today, we are going to see what properties Moringa and its leaves have for our body, and then I'll tell you how you can use them to achieve these benefits, their dosage, and contraindications. First, we have the benefits of Moringa on heart health. This plant, thanks to its active compounds, quercetin and chlorogenic acid, will help lower our LDL or bad cholesterol while increasing our HDL or good cholesterol. This will reduce our risk of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, its anti-inflammatory properties will help our arteries prevent arteriosclerosis, a condition in which our blood vessels harden and narrow, which along with that excess LDL cholesterol, is the prelude to most cardiovascular events. Thus, by acting on these two paths, Moringa will help me protect my heart and blood vessels. The second benefit of Moringa is its power on our skin health. The antioxidant properties of Moringa will help me combat premature aging by addressing the dreaded wrinkles and lack of tone in my skin. This is thanks to its richness in antioxidants, substances that counteract free radicals in our body, and that are not only associated with chronic diseases like diabetes or atherosclerosis, but also with an aged external appearance. Moreover, in the leaves of Moringa oleifera, we find antioxidants such as vitamin C, also necessary for generating collagen, which will also contribute to less wrinkled skin. Notably, we have seen that consuming Moringa leaf powder for a few weeks increases the levels of antioxidants we have in our blood, something very interesting if what I seek is to slow down the weight of the passing years on my organism, but also improve my appearance. Thirdly, we have the effect of Moringa on our blood sugar levels. There are compounds present in Moringa, the isothioxyanates, which have shown to be effective in controlling our glycemia. In fact, a study showed that adding 50 grams of Moringa leaves to meals decreased the rise in blood sugar by 21%. That is, Moringa will be able to regulate those sugar spikes we suffer after each meal, something very useful in people with diabetes or prediabetes, but also for all those who wish to improve our health by keeping sugar at bay. Fourthly, we have the benefit of Moringa on our digestive health, as this plant has been traditionally used to treat a variety of digestive problems, including gas, indigestion, and colic. This is due to the anti-inflammatory properties of its isothioxyanates, which will be especially beneficial in people with chronic digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. But this doesn't end here. Moringa has also proven to be useful in improving the health of the intestinal microbiota by acting as a prebiotic, that is, serving as food to the army of trillions of healthy bacteria that we have in our digestive tract and that work tirelessly for our health. The fifth benefit of Moringa is its nutrients. A cup of fresh leaves contains significant amounts of protein, vitamin B6, vitamin C, iron, vitamin B2, carotenoids, and magnesium. And it's this richness in vitamins and minerals that makes Moringa a complete nutritional source, something especially useful in developing countries where the diet lacks these essential nutrients that Moringa can provide. But this goes further. Moringa extracts have demonstrated the ability to trap and remove toxins and poisons like arsenic. And without going further, it has been widely used to purify water, making it an important resource in regions where drinking water is scarce. And now that I know the benefits of Moringa for my health, before seeing its risks and contraindications, which it has, let's see how to consume this plant to take advantage of its properties. First, Moringa can be eaten fresh, adding its leaves to salads or as a garnish. Second, we have Moringa supplements, both in powder and in capsules, and the dose will vary according to the brand. So it will be advisable to read the manufacturer's instructions and consult our doctor if we opt for supplements. Here, it will be important to focus on the source and quality of the product, examining the color of the Moringa powder and choosing those that have an intense green color. This is because yellowish or brownish products have usually been harvested incorrectly or dried at very high temperatures, which makes a large part of Moringa's properties lost. Third is Moringa infusion. Using a tablespoon of Moringa powder per cup of hot water and letting it steep for at least eight minutes before consuming. And now that we know how to consume Moringa, let's see its possible side effects and contraindications. First, we have diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems, something that we have seen especially in excessive amounts of Moringa, possibly due to its high iron content. Second, we have the interaction with some medications, such as drugs for diabetes. Since we've seen that Moringa can lower sugar and together with these drugs, the additive effect could lower it too much. Third, Moringa should be avoided in pregnancy, breastfeeding or children, as the possible adverse effects of Moringa in these situations have not yet been explored. So if I suffer from any health problem or take any medication, it will be advisable to consult my doctor before using Moringa in high doses or for medicinal purposes. And especially if I am going to opt for using supplements of this plant. And thank you very much for staying with me until here. What do you think about the benefits of Moringa?
