Green Drink for St. Patricks Day #short #greendrink #moringa #nonalcoholic #healthydrink

Here’s the green drink I’ve been having lately!

Moringa powder!

From WebMD:

The moringa tree is native to the south of the Himalayan Mountains in northern India and grown around the world. It is widely used as food and medicine.

Nearly every part of the moringa tree is edible. It is rich in antioxidants and other nutrients which are commonly missing in the diets of people living in undeveloped countries.

When dried, its leaves can be ground into a fine powder that will keep many months without refrigeration.

For thousands of years the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans grew moringa trees. In addition to calcium, iron and potassium, moringa leaves contain several important vitamins:

Vitamin A which helps maintain healthy vision, immunity, and fetal growth
Vitamin C which protects the body from pollutants and toxins
Vitamin E which acts as an antioxidant

Moringa powder can be used as an antiseptic to sterilize contaminated surfaces. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and fungi, including those that cause gastric ulcers and gastric cancer.
