Moringa-The breast feeding supplement

Many people across the world are learning about the enormous health benefits of Moringa. Moringa is a fast growing tree that produces leaves and fruit pods that are consumed as a highly nutritious food. The nutritional density and diversity of Moringa has deemed it the “Elixir Tree” or nature’s most nutritious food. The nutrients in this miracle from nature have been reported to treat over 300 different diseases and disorders of the body.Aside from the obvious health benefits exhibited by Moringa, mothers around the world have been using it obscurely as a natural way to increase breast milk. The natural constituents of Moringa leaves and fruit pods are nature’s answer to helping mothers produce copious amounts of highly nutritious milk for their infants. The term given an herb or food that increases the flow or production of breast milk is galactogogue.Moringa has been clinically proven to increase the production of breast milk whether it is consumed before or after the birth of a baby.Mothers who took Moringa were shown to produce more than 2x the amount of breast milk than those who didn’t. We all know instinctively that breast milk is the ultimate food prescribed by nature for the infant child and Moringa can be instrumental in helping mothers produce more of this precious food.The health benefits of Moringa are legendary and it would not be hard to figure that it could be an important step for any potential mother to consider taking Moringa to supplement their nutritional needs thus passing on to the growing fetus critical nutrients that are vital to a healthy baby at delivery. The importance of certain nutrients during the gestation period (notably folic acid for the prevention of spina bifida) solidifies the need for a food supplement that gives the body a complete array of nutrients in a safe bio-available form. Also mothers who took Moringa during pregnancy have experienced being able to produce milk much quicker after delivery verses those mothers who didn’t. It’s very important for the newborn to get vital nutrients such as good fats (DHA and EPA) for brain development, immune system protectors, digestable protein, the amino acids argenine and histidine plus many others as soon as possible to start the process of total body development. Nothing is better at supplying those nutrients than breast milk fortified from a mother taking Moringa.Babies that are breastfed have been proven by research to be far healthier across all spectrums because breast milk offers all the nutrients their growing bodies need during the first 6 months. Breastfed babies have much improved immune systems, less allergies, better digestion, greater intelligence and the list goes on and on. Why wouldn’t any mother or mother to be, want to give their bundle of joy the absolute best that they can give, even if it meant having to use a breast pump and storing the breast milk in the fridge for later use? The use of Moringa by the mother would create the ultimate breast milk made even more nutritious by the vast array of vital nutrients naturally available to the mother. To put it simply, if the mother is granted better health by ingesting Moringa ,all of her healthy benefits are passed on to the baby for a future of better health.Moringa leaves and fruit pods are truly nature’s greatest compilation of vital nutrients for total body health. It is a virtual panacea of health benefits unmatched by any herbal or food supplement that I have seen in over 30 years of studying natural medicine (for my own health). Moringa’s universal application, efficacy, low price and safety makes it the most perfect food supplement for the youngest to the most senior citizen. Health foods major, Grenera Nutrients has launched a new product called Yelixir combines all the attributes of Moringa leaf and fruit pods in an economical powder and capsule form.

Vitamin Blood Levels Taught Me This

Dear Reader, Did you know that every vitamin you take can be measured in your blood? When a patient comes to my Wellness Center for the first time, I always run some routine blood work. Your doctor probably does, too. One of the first things I test for are blood levels for all vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and key enzymes. Here’s what surprised me early on in my career: many of my most health-conscious patients—even the ones who swore they took a multivitamin every day—were malnourished! I had to spend hours researching to understand why. Here’s what I learned: The major vitamin makers often use synthetic versions of the vitamins they list on the label. Then they blast them into a tiny little pellet and coat it with chemicals. Your body can’t absorb most of what’s in them; it just eliminates them. So you’re not getting any real health benefit. What’s more, it turns out that taking vitamins isn’t enough. Your body needs other critical nutrients to properly absorb the vitamins you’re taking. You actually have to take a broad range of supplements to see real results. Otherwise you’re just throwing money away without getting results. A recent study proved it. Scientists took a look at the total health of over 1,000 people, dividing them into three groups: those who don’t use supplements at all, those who take only multivitamins, and those who take a broad spectrum of dietary supplements daily, including multivitamins and minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and omega-3.1 People who took the full range of supplements every day were healthier by every measure. They enjoyed the full protective benefit that optimum nutrition provides, including: • 73 percent lower risk of diabetes • 52 percent lower risk of heart disease • Lower blood levels of triglycerides, the “bad fats” clog your arteries • Higher levels of HDL, the “good cholesterol” Meanwhile, the people who limited themselves to a daily multivitamin actually suffered serious nutritional deficiencies. With that in mind, let’s quickly run through some of the vital nutrients you need for maximum health (and the ones the healthy folks in the study took every day): The vitamin B complex, folate, and CoQ10 are critical. These are powerful compounds essential to nearly every system of the body. CoQ10 is a “co-enzyme,” not a vitamin or mineral. You won’t find it in any “one-a-day.” That’s a problem, because CoQ10 is directly responsible for providing energy to 95% of the cells in your body. It insures the optimum functioning for all your major organs, especially the “energy-intensive” ones like the heart, brain, and liver. And as you age, your body stops making as much of it. I ran some numbers on my test results over the years and discovered a remarkable fact: 82% of my new patients don’t have anywhere near enough CoQ10. The chances are pretty good that you don’t either. Omega-3 protects your heart by putting your cholesterol levels into healthy balance, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the level of triglycerides in your blood. These are the kind of fats that clog your arteries. It’s also been shown to reduce the risk of certain kinds of cancer. Vitamin C is a potent immune booster. Vitamins A, D, and mixed carotenoids are Nature’s most powerful antioxidants. They neutralize the destructive action of “free radicals,” rogue oxygen molecules that attach themselves to healthy cells and lead to damage, mutation, and even death. Vitamin D is also a powerful cancer fighter. It enhances mood, prevents diabetes, and preserves heart health. Zinc an essential ingredient for male virility – in fact, the prostate contains the highest concentration of zinc in the body. It also prevents hardening of the arteries and strengthens your immune system. The bottom line is your body needs a lot more than a “one-a-day” to stay healthy.
