Leaves of the Tree of Life ('Moringa Oleifera') are very healthy, as the Bible also tells us in Rev 22:2, but also now. For the stomach & intestines, eyes, skin, brains, against inflammatory factors and for lowering cholesterol levels.
It is said that Moses made bitter water sweet or drinkable with it: by throwing a piece of wood from this tree into the bitter water (Ex 15:23-27). But especially the leaves, kernels and seeds are apparently very healthy to drink. You can eat the leaves fresh in a salad and they taste peppery or dried and crumbled or ground into a powder to which you can add boiling water and make a tea or coffee.
For the eyes: Moringa contains a lot of Lutein, which is a key nutrient when it comes to eye and brain health (preventing or slightly improving dementia & Alzheimer's), while it was always thought that beta-carotene in particular had that function, which is not the case. Moringa is also rich in vitamin A which also helps. Together with blueberries (Resveratrol) and saffron extremely good for your eyes and can possibly provide much better vision (like with me)!
For the brain: Lutein has been scientifically proven to be extremely important for maintaining brain health, for example in the fight against Dementia and Alzheimer's, where the focus should be on PREVENTIVE EFFECT, but certainly also something in alleviating the conditions.
For the intestines: Moringa has antibacterial properties and is anti-inflammatory which ensures that you get healthier intestines and absorb nutrients better.
For the skin: promotes a youthful skin through antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E and through anti-inflammatory substances that hydrate and soften the collagen.
For cholesterol: Moringa lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and increases (the good) HDL slightly.
For blood sugar levels: Moringa contains substances that lower or normalize blood sugar levels.
Laboratory research shows that Moringa inhibits cancer growth (WKOF).
How to consume Moringa?
I find it easy to drink Moringa powder with boiling water as a tea or a kind of coffee. To improve the taste I add peanut butter, raw cacao, stevia sweetener, cloves, ginger and cinnamon (and those combinations also enhance the effect of Moringa in various areas). And a dash of soy milk. Try what you like. You can also eat Moringa leaves raw in your salad which tastes peppery or cook the pods and eat them.
A completely plant-based diet is always better when it comes to inflammatory factors and overall health. Moringa also provides a lot of protein and in combination with lettuce and beans, for example, you really don't need inflammatory factor-providing animal protein.
