Benefits of moringa.

 

Good morning MF blog readers, our range of products are expanding and we're currently under the development if moringa in powdered form. We hope to have those online very soon but for now we will inform you guys on what makes MF Moringa so good for you why we believe it's a product that will soon be in your basket for the foreseeable future.

Moringa oleifera is a plant native to northern India that can also grow in other tropical and sub-tropical places, like Asia and Africa and the Caribbean. Folk medicine has used the leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots of this plant for centuries. 

It's traditionally been used as a remedy for such conditions as: 

Diabetes 

Long-lasting inflammation 

Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections 

Joint pain 

Heart health 

Cancer 

So, are there any health benefits? 

Well, MF Moringa has many important minerals as well as vitamins. The leaves for example have 7 times more vitamin c than oranges and 15 times more potassium that bananas! Not to mention the fact that it also has calcium, protein, iron, and amino acids, which help your body heal and build muscle. 

MF Moringa also has antioxidants. Antioxidants have the ability to protect cells from damage and also boost your immune system. Recent studies have also shown that antioxidants can also lower blood pressure and reduce fat in the blood as well as the body. 

What are the uses of MF Moringa? 

Although the testing has been limited, the current results have shown that moringa can help with: 

Arthritis – (as it can help lower fluid swelling, redness, and pain) 

Diabetes – (several early studies show that insulin-like proteins found in moringa may help lower blood sugar. Plant chemicals found in the leaves might help the body process sugar better, and it may affect how the body releases insulin) 

Cancer – (In lab tests, leaf extracts slowed the growth of pancreatic cancer cells and helped chemotherapy work better. Other lab studies show that moringa leaves, bark, and roots all have anti-cancer effects that might lead to new drugs) 

And lastly, 

Memory – ( some experts think the antioxidants and other health-promoting plant chemicals may heal stress and inflammation in the brain)  

Is it safe? 

Research shows that it's generally OK to eat the leaves or young seed pods, and leaf extracts made from powder and water may also be safe. MF Moringa can also be taken in pill form, oil form and even as a tea. In conclusion it is very safe to consume.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

Benefits of pimento (also known as allspice).

Before we get into the benefits of pimento, at MF Products UK we believe we must look at a foods history first and learn about its origin. So, without further ado let’s look into pimento which is also known as allspice. The pimento tree is indigenous to the Caribbean Islands. It was found growing in Jamaica by early Spanish explorers who were quite impressed with its tantalising taste and aroma of the berries and the leaves. Pimento trees were then later discovered in Cuba and were presumed to have been taken there by migrant birds who had eaten the berries. They have also been found in Mexico, but it is Jamaica that has the longest history, having been in continuous production since the tree was identified in about the year 1509. The name Pimento originated from the Spanish word "pimienta" which meant ‘peppercorn’. To most English-speaking people the tree is called "pimento" and the berries "allspice". The name allspice originated from the widespread n...
