It is very rich in healthy antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds. Celia Rodríguez-Pérez, in , 2022 Abstract Moringa oleifera MO Lam is an useful tree that have been traditionally employed for nutritional, medicinal and industrial purposes. The anti-inflammatory properties of moringa may be effective in preventing edema from developing.
NextModern research suggests moringa can help lower cholesterol, balance blood sugar, and ease other health concerns.
For these remarkable properties, this crop is today considered among the most important and compatible with the great themes related to food security and sustainability both from an environmental and socio-economic point of view.

It is also grown in several countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Pakistan and in West African and North American countries Mahmood et al. The plant has pods that are long and contain seeds of the plant Roloff et al.
NextSeeds from the pods, ground with water and instilled into the nostrils, cure headaches due to colds and rhinitis.
Rats in the study were fed a high-fructose diet to induced. However, these are only the main components, as the leaves have a large number of metabolites with potential biological effect. Summary Animal studies suggest that Moringa oleifera may protect against arsenic toxicity.
NextIt is vital to ensure blood sugar levels do not get too low.
In this chapter, the pharmacological activities, mainly anticancer, antidiabetic, antiinflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, as well as the phytochemistry of M.
NextImmunosuppressive activity of ethanolic extract of seeds of Moringa oleifera Lam.

Summary Moringa leaves are rich in many important nutrients, including protein, vitamin B6, vitamin C, riboflavin and iron.
Moringa also contains protein, which means it is helpful in protecting skin cells from damage. Samples varied based on the environment, country of origin and genetic and morphological characteristics.
NextScientists believe these effects are caused by plant compounds such as isothiocyanates.
