Malunggay: The Miracle Vegetable

Malunggay or Moringa Olifeira is a very common vegetable in the Philippines that is usually planted or grown in the backyard or front yard.   It’s one of the most common vegetable served in a common Filipino family table mixed with other favorite Filipino dish.  This vegetable is also a favorite of lactating mothers as it is believed to give the mothers more milk.

However, aside from the above Malunggay has more health benefits than we can ever think of.  Initial studies in Africa and Nicaragua  found out that Malunggay is rich in disease fighting nutrients and is filled with essential amino acids to prevent protein malnutrition.

Malunggay is a miracle vegetable and an excellent source of Viamin A&B, calcium and iron.  It also promote god eyesight, digestion, facilitates bowel movements and may help relieve stomach aches.  It also prevents the onset of arthritis, cancer, heart and kidney diseases.

Other health benefits include:

• anti-aging
• lower cholesterol
• balance the metabolism
• enhances memory
• antioxidant
• strengthens immune system
• brain nerve tonic
• improves mental alertness
• enhances nerve tissue
