Moringa ......Let's get started ......my very first post!

Moringa oleifera, Moringa health supplements, this is a blog about the wonderful benefits of Moringa oleifera and Moringa health supplements.

It's amazing how we tend to take for granted the many things that we put into our mouth, chew and swallow......without a second thought about whether it is good or bad for the body. Many of us have food preferences that have been conditioned into our mindset by our parents and we bring these into our adult world with us and perhaps, or most likely, will also pass these along to our children and to future generations.

Then, there are also those less fortunate with little or no say or choice as to what they want to eat..... due to economic reasons and for the need to survive and to make sure that children do not go hungry.

Personal preferences and financial hardships tend to prejudice our choice of food and often these can lead to poor nutrition and to serious mulnutrition.

The human body requires only some basis vitamins, minerals and proteins to keep it healthy and functioning well. Many of these are consumed from the food we eat which are then converted by the human body into the necessary proteins and nutrients that the internal organs require to maintain the general well-being of the human body. However, according to science, there are about 8 proteins that the human body requires that are not internally manufactured by the human body........these are known as Essential Amino Acids........"Essential" because they are important ingredients needed by the human body to manufacture other nutrients that are needed to keep the other internal organs of the body healthy and functioning well.

So, what do we do? It is always hard to change one's eating habit and it is not always possible to help the poor and needy. Fortunately, for the better off amongst us, there is always the multitude of vitamins and mineral health supplements that can be bought and consumed.....synthetic or natural....but for the less well off, there is little choice except to consume whatever that is available to them from mother earth.

Thank goodness mother earth is kind to us and there are still numerous number of trees, plants and shrubs out there that are able to provide us with the necessary nutrients to good health.....all we have to do is to make these available to those who needs them.........I will, in my future posts, show and explain how we can do these.
