It may sound surreal but I bet you to read the facts what this underrated plant can do to your body.

While many things found here on earth that can have one or two health benefits. Ayurveda, India’s ancient tradition of medicine sites 300 diseases that are treated with the leaves of the Moringa tree.

Comparable to Meat’s Nutritional Value

Moringa plant is the ‘Holy Grail’ of all vegetarians, It has the highest protein ratio of any plant, with the protein in Moringa being comparable in quality to that of soy. It is consider only soy had protein by food scientist comparable to meat, dairy, and eggs. But Moringa protein is better than soy protein as it is non-allergic. Proteins are dissolved into smaller units known as amino acids and moringa contains 18 of the 20 amino acids required by the human body including all eight of the essential amino acids found in meat products of which a luxury most people around the world cannot afford. Our body cannot produce those eight essential amino acids and must get them through the food we eat. Moringa is one of very few plants that contain all eight.

So why go for such fancy foods and food supplement when all you need is the herb just around your background.
