Moringa seeds, from the Moringa plant are annually harvested in
the sub tropics of Asia and Africa. They are valued highly for their
nutritional benefit, just like the Moringa plant itself.
Detailed description
Moringa Seeds are rich
in vitamins and minerals the human body needs to survive. It’s this rich
concentrate of goodness that provides the seeds with antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory and cholesterol fighting qualities.
Amongst these general
benefits, the high presence of vitamins offers incredibly larger doses than our
typical sources:
- Moringa seeds have more vitamin
C than oranges
- Four times more Vitamin 4 than
carrots
- Four times more Calcium than a
glass of milk
- Three times more Potassium than
a banana
- And two times more Protein than
yoghurt.
With these striking
results, it’s no surprise how the Moringa seed has become a well-known super
food across the globe. These crucial vitamins are essential for the body to
fight free radicals and prevent severe oxidative damage.
The seed itself has a
very unique appearance. Evolutionarily designed with grey wings, the seeds are
carried by the wind to fertile grounds to grow into Moringa plants further
afield from the parent.
They are circular in
shape and rather large for a seed. They’re found in the pods of the tree which
typically look like green beans.
Below
are just a few of the Moringa Seed benefits:
Blood Pressure
The Moringa seeds work to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure is becoming
more and more of an issue as the Western world struggles with new obesity
levels. High pressure can cause serious cardiovascular issues such as heart
attacks and strokes.
To
naturally lower blood pressures, it is suggested you take part in exercise
regularly and lead a healthy lifestyle. However for some people whom are
already at a dangerous stage, exercise may be out of the question, so
medication will be the only alternative.
Preliminary
studies show that Moringa and its seeds can lower blood pressure; however more
research is still being done to confirm these theories fully. The current
results prove Moringa seeds reduce oxidized lipids and safeguards heart tissues
from constructional damage. Consult your doctor before trying Moringa
seeds as a blood pressure balance.
Blood Sugar Levels
Alongside
its ability to lower blood pressure, this goes hand in hand with the seed’s
ability to lower blood sugar levels.
The
seed’s rich zinc concentrate helps to regulate the secretion of insulin. As
this becomes more normal, the blood sugar levels also become regular.
Moring Seeds are High in Fibre
As
the above information showed, Moringa seeds are rich in fibre. Fibre works with
the body to maintain a health digestive system. It is also important for the
cardiovascular system. Moringa seed fibre helps to move food along the
digestive system to be broken down and used around the body.
Cholesterol
With
zero presence of cholesterol in the seeds, Moringa is known to reverse the
effects of high cholesterol. High cholesterol rates in the blood are linked to
the development of heart disease. In Ancient Thai medicines, Moringa is classed
as a cardiotonic which controls and improves the way the heart contracts.
Moringa
products monosaturated fatty acids called oleic acid. Oliec acid (often found
in olive oil) has many benefits for our health and can prevent blood clots or
cardiovascular diseases. If you’re looking to improve your diet, aim to replace
saturated animal fats with Moringa to keep your cholesterol levels down.
Beautiful Skin
Oils
are extracted from the seeds to create a number of cosmetic products. The oils
contain up to 30 antioxidants and a surplus of Vitamin A which are the ideal
choice for skin products.
Vitamin
A enhances the firmness of the skin to appear more youthful and fights against
signs of aging and stress. This is done by promoting collagen formation within
the skin cells.
The
fatty oils are known as Ben oil and it forms roughly 40% of the seed. It has no
smell or colour and tastes sweet. The skin absorbs the oils without
saturating the oils on the surface of the skin – and receives all the
nourishing qualities the oil has to offer. The oil works as both a moisturiser
and an antiseptic cleanser to get rid of acne, pimples and blackheads.
To
use on the face, all you have to do is apply a few drops to the skin and
massage it in like any other moisturiser or massage oil.
Moringa Seeds and Weight Loss
Ben
oil from the seed extract breaks down saturated animal fats in the diet and
works with the digestive system to get rid of the fats we don’t need. By doing
this, the oil reduces belly fat.
Cancer
According
to some scientists, Moringa’s anti-carcinogenic qualities can accelerate the
death count of cancer cells and stop their growth and development. Some
researchers believe consecutively taking Moringa seed powders for 3 weeks can
actually restrain and prevent colon cancer.
Anti-Inflammatory
The
Moringa plant is well-known as a natural anti-inflammatory, so the seeds are no
different. Moringa seeds can reduce soreness and boost the health of our
joints. Strengthening the joints with amino-acids and proteins enables
sufferers of arthritis and other disorders to live a more independent life.
Moringa Seeds Improve Eyesight
Vitamin
A strengthens the immune system and repairs mucus membrane. With this, Moringa
seeds looks after our eyes and maintains our good vision.
Immune System
We’re
all aware of the amazing benefits of Vitamin C. Moringa seeds host home to a
huge level of Vitamin C which makes them ideal for boosting the immune system.
The vitamins work to fight against free radicals and infectious agents.
The
huge amounts of nutrients digested from eating the seeds of the Moringa plant boost
the immune system and help to heal bruises, cuts, burns and minor injuries in a
more timely manner.
Teeth and Bones
Rich
in Zinc, Calcium and plenty other minerals, Moringa seeds ensure overall
well-being. Other minerals found in the seeds such as Iron reduce and
prevent anaemia symptoms. The calcium keeps bones and teeth strong. Zinc has
been known to facilitate in spermatogenesis (the process of sperm production in
men).
Moring Seeds Encourage Hair Growth
By
looking after our bodies internally, Moringa seeds can benefit our hair.
Vitamin C present in the seeds can encourage and improve blood circulation
through the scalp to help hair follicles grow and strengthen. This results in
fully, healthier hair.
Zinc
and Vitamin A also promote hair growth. Nourishing the hair tissues and
repairing the cells, Zinc keeps sebaceous glands unclogged so the follicles can
absorb as much nutrients as possible.
Not
only are the seeds great, but the oils extracted from the seeds can be used as
shampoo – to help get rid of itchy scalps and dandruff.
Water Treatment
On
a more charitable scale, Moringa seeds, oil and seed cake are being tested and
used for treating dirty water. This paves the way to cleaner drinking water
facilities in third world countries and could fight against life endangering
diseases in these areas.
There’s
plenty more Moringa seed benefits too, like helping with weight loss,
constipation or insomnia. Be sure to ask your doctor how Moringa can benefit
you.
How to Use Moringa Seeds
The
seeds are rather unique in appearance; with grey-ish white ‘wings’ surrounding
them. However, just like other seeds, Moringa seeds can be eaten like nuts and
added to cereals and trail mixes. When mixed with grains and hemp seeds, the
Moringa will give you a boost of energy.
Alternatively,
if you are able to find fresh Moringa seeds in your local health shop, serve
them boiled like peas with main meals. They can also be steamed or roasted for
stews and sauces.
Others
suggest the seeds can be popped like popcorn but you should still be weary of
how much you intake.
How much should I be using?
So
far, Moringa is fairly new in the Western world. Therefore strict dosage levels
have not been implemented. If you’re worried about using too many or too little
Moringa seeds, be sure to ask the counter staff or a nutritionist.
Through
lab research, the current ‘ideal’ dosage seems to be 150-200mg/kg. Below is a
rough estimate of dosage according to a person’s weight:
- 150llbs –
1600-2200mg
- 200llbs –
2100-2900mg
- 250llbs –
2700 -3600 mg
Moringa
should be taken within moderation. The above outlines maximum dosages. Before
reaching these levels, try out small doses as each body will react differently.
If
you experience side effects or reactions you were unaware of prior to taking
Moringa, stop immediately and consult your GP.
