Moringa Plant: The Tree Of Life Also Known As The Miracle Tree
In this article we are going to show you everything you need to know about one of the most nutritious plants in the world.
It is a wonderful tree; luckily for me I have it in my compound. Many of my neighbours come to pluck the leaves for use in their homes to solve a lot of health problems.
This plant has a lot of names because of its usefulness in the world; but no matter what you call Moringa oleifera, some also known it as “drumstick tree,” “tree of life,” and “miracle tree”. It is one of the most nutritious plants in the world. It has a wide range of nutritional and bioactive compounds, including essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, making this plant a powerful one.
Native to Northern India and East Africa, you’ll find the two most popular species in those regions, although there are 13 different species known in the world. Even when it comes to the latest research, a few varieties of this popular plant are commonly highlighted. Among the 13 species, current studies are limited to Moringa oleifera, Moringa stenopetala, Moringa concanensis and Moringa peregrine.
Moringa goes way back to ancient times and has been used in phytomedicine and ayurvedic healing for centuries. “The benefits of moringa were recognized long ago when used in Ayurveda medicine over 4,000 years ago,” says Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN, Integrative Dietitian and Founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition.
Moringa was used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and the ancient Mauryan warriors of India who reportedly consumed moringa leaves to give them more energy and strength, especially during war. Today, moringa trees are grown and consumed all over the world.
What is moringa?
Interestingly, every part of the Moringa plant is edible. Moringa oleifera leaves, seeds, bark, roots, sap and flowers are widely used in traditional medicine and the leaves and immature seed pods are used as food products. The most used part of the plant is the edible leaves and in the United States and in Nigeria too, the dried leaves are sold as dietary supplements either in a powdered or capsule form.
Moringa Benefits for Men:
According to one trusted source, though native to Northwestern India, nearly every part of the plant has long been used in herbal medicine to treat more than 300 health conditions.
It may interest you to know that of the plant’s many studied and promising health benefits, several may be specific to men.
Here are 4 potential benefits of moringa for men, as well as information on its safety and side effects.
1. May promote prostate health
Moringa seeds and leaves are rich in sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates, which may have anticancer properties.
Some studies have demonstrated that the glucosinolates from the plant’s seeds may inhibit the growth of human prostate cancer cells.
It is also believed that moringa could help prevent benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). This condition typically becomes more common as men age and is characterized by enlargement of the prostate, which can make urination difficult.
What’s more, the extract also reduced levels of prostate-specific antigen, a protein produced by the prostate gland. High levels of this antigen may be a sign of prostate cancer.
Also another trusted study demonstrated that the plant decreased testosterone levels in treated mice. In humans, low testosterone levels can reduce sex drive and erectile function, lead to a loss of lean muscle mass, and cause depression.
This testosterone-lowering effect could also interfere with the effectiveness of testosterone-replacement therapy in men with low testosterone.
I will advise you reading this article to plant Moringa in your backyard; you will not regret having this tree of life. Many of your neighbours will be highly interested in plucking the leaves for medicine.
In the next article, we will continue with the special benefits of the Moringa plant for men.
