MORINGA – THE MIRACLE TREE
All over Liberia we are holding workshops on the benefits of moringa and how to grow it. Moringa leaves and pods are a nutritional powerhouse that provides a great range of essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It is a rich source of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It also contains a significant amount of vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6, folate, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Its mineral wealth includes calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. It contains a very low amount of fats and offers no harmful cholesterol. Moringa is beneficial in treating edema, protecting the liver, treating stomach disorders, Skin Care & Hair Care, acts as an antibacterial agent, fights cancer, improves bone health, acts as an antibacterial agent, treats diabetes, treats asthma, reduces hypertension, improves eye health, boosts immunity, Protects Cardiovascular System and the list goes on. This is why it is called THE MIRACLE TREE!
