It also contains high numbers of different antioxidants and nutrients. You can find this plant in hundreds of health remedies. This tree has much more calcium than milk, more vitamin A than carrots, more protein than yogurt, more potassium than bananas, and even more vitamin C than oranges. It boosts the immune system in our bodies. The Moringa tree helps your digestive system work more smoothly. The plant helps you think more clearly and have more energy as well.

Not only are Africa and India suffering from large numbers of malnutrition, but so are a lot of other countries around the world. Moringa Oleifera needs to be grown in warm climates and most of the countries suffering from malnutrition can grow the tree. If they only knew they could have a very nutritious plant, there would be less people suffering. People need to be educated about Moringa leaves and all the benefits it has. If people were willing ot go out and teach these people about this miracle plant, then so many people can have a chance to become more healthy. If these malnourished people have no other food to eat, they can simply eat the leaves of this tree and stay alive. That is valuable information everyone should know.

Everyone throughout the world should be taught about the Moringa tree. Not only do people not have enough food, but are not consuming enough nutrients from the food they are eating. In fact, you can be obese and be malnourished. The way people prepare their food can take nutrients out of it and it is bad for their health. This does not happen with the Moringa Tree. It actually becomes more nutritious when the leaves are taken off of the tree and dried out.

Edible trees are almost unheard of. Not only are Moringa leaves useful but the fruit pods can be used. When the seeds are pressed an oil comes out. This particular oil can be used in cooking and for medical remedies. If you thought that was all, think again. After the seeds are pressed for oil, it can be used to filter dirty water, so that it can be safe to drink. Now do you understand why the Moringa Oleifera is a miracle tree?
