Taste: pungent, slightly warm, non-toxic, its ingredients are rich in nutrients, containing vitamin A, B, C, protein, calcium, potassium, iron and other minerals. And contains the human body can not synthesize, the synthesis rate can not catch up with the body needs called "essential amino acids". According to scholars, as long as three tablespoons of moringa leaf powder, contains 27% of the daily needs of young children Vitamin A; 42% protein; 125% of the calcium; 70% of the iron 22% of the Vitamin C. Moringa contains four times the calcium of milk, three times the potassium of bananas, three times the iron is three times that of spinach, Vitamin C is seven times that of mandarin oranges, and four times the Vitamin A of carrots. Moringa is in recent years in Europe and the United States emerging as a health care plant (food), claiming high calcium, high protein, high fiber, low fat, and has the effect of enhancing physical strength, treatment of anemia, inhibit germs, expel parasites and so on. Moringa is known as a miraculous natural health plants, the United States, the University of Washington, Purdue University, the University of Leicester, the United Kingdom, Guatemala, the University of Carona have detailed research reports, Chinese information can refer to the Miracle Tree and other Web site information. Let us *** with reference to some of these countries, regions and authorities how to recognize the moringa tree. The fruit of the moringa seeds: moringa seeds look very strange, its pods like cowpeas, but its seeds are not at all regular, growing diamonds and horns, different sizes, can be eaten raw, is said to have significant health care and prevention of diabetes, high blood pressure. Moringa seeds are very crisp and sweet in the mouth, slowly chewed and swallowed, the sweetness in the throat can still be retained for several minutes, during which to eat other foods at the same time will feel the sweetness. Wittmer, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., wrote in 1992 that few people have heard of the moringa tree, but he believes that the moringa tree it may soon become one of the world's most valuable plants. The Japanese call the moringa tree an incredible tree. University of Washington doctoral student Olson by the U.S. National Science Foundation National Geographic Society and other organizations, specializing in research on the moringa tree, found that the moringa tree is super-rich in nutrients, from vitamins A, B, C, E, protein, to calcium, potassium, iron and other minerals, almost all, his findings published in the National Geographic magazine. Research at the University of San Carlos in Guatemala found that the seeds and roots of the moringa tree contain an antimicrobial component that is effective in treating skin infections. Foreign Catholic website published, the results of the study concluded that the moringa tree is rich in nutrients, high in vitamins A, B, B1, B2, B3, c1, E, high protein, high fiber. It contains six kinds of mineral elements (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulfur) five kinds of micro)L elements (zinc, copper, iron, manganese, selenium) and eleven kinds of essential amino acids (eight kinds of amino acids that the human body can not synthesize by itself). Amino acids are important elements for activating cells, strengthening immunity and enhancing sexual performance. According to Indian medicine thousands of years of verification that the moringa tree can prevent a variety of diseases, in the medical application of diabetes, hypertension, skin diseases, anemia, bones, anti-depression, arthritis, digestive organs, tumors and other diseases. Taiwan Moringa Research Institute Preparatory Office in six months after 500 people to use the verification, found that more than half of the users have a very good improvement effect, including eczema, rich hands, athlete's foot, dry heat headache, osteoporosis, diabetes, neurasthenia, rheumatism arthralgia, anemia, gout, insomnia, inexplicable itchy skin, depression, stabilizing the nerves, menstrual pain, constipation, dyspepsia, lightening spots, Weakness, refreshing, enhance sexual function and so on. Moringa's functions include many more, the relevant countries and regions are in-depth research and development, has been to make the role of the moringa tree for the further benefit of mankind. The following chapter, let us together *** with to recognize the role of moringa nutritional health care and therapeutic effects. Third, the new era of health food Moringa contains rich and amazing nutrients, Europe and the United States advanced countries have been regarded as the new era of health food moringa. This chapter will explore the development and application of moringa in the future of biotechnology through the analysis of the composition of moringa published by the CNS in 1998, and the experience of traditional medicine around the world. Special emphasis is placed on the knowledge of medicinal use, any beneficial food can become harmful if consumed in excess, so the intake of moringa should be in moderation. Moringa tropical and subtropical planted areas, have been highly evaluated by the people, and recorded in the local medicine book, used to treat a variety of diseases. The use of these traditional medicine, some of which can reflect the various parts of moringa itself contains special ingredients, or nutritional value; some applications, through modern scientific research laboratories to analyze and investigate, to obtain effective confirmation. Vitamins and amino acids are very important for a healthy day's diet. A person needs sufficient vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients for the development and good maintenance of the body, and a lack of any of these nutrients can cause health problems. Some of the diseases we are familiar with have their roots in unbalanced diets and nutritional disorders, such as scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency, night blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency, anemia caused by iron deficiency, and so on. Since the moringa tree has been proved to be rich in high nutritional value of plants, in Europe and the United States, Japan and other countries that have developed the moringa tree food, with its high protein, low-fat, high-fiber, high vitamin content of the characteristics of the special hypoglycemic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular health effects and has become the new darling of the people's health food industry. According to the nutritional analysis of the moringa tree, we *** with the discussion of the moringa tree as a health food has the following advantages: I. high protein content, cholesterol-free human body is mostly made up of proteins, proteins by the human body after digestion and decomposition into amino acids, and then brought to the body's tissues through the blood. Cells individually select the amino acids they need in order to create new life tissues, muscles, intestines, liver, kidneys and other internal organs, hair, skin, bones, and even enzymes, hormones, hemoglobin in the blood, and immune antibodies, etc. All proteins are made up of proteins. The value of all proteins depends on their amino acid content. The eight essential amino acids are high-quality protein foods, also known as complete proteins, which are mostly found in animal foods such as egg yolks, fresh milk, liver and kidneys, and are richer than plant proteins in general. Plants in addition to yeast, soybeans, cereal germ and other complete proteins, the rest of the essential amino acids contained in plants are incomplete proteins, can not maintain the health of the human body alone. But to the surprise of scientists, the results are in the fresh moringa leaves 6.7g/100g of protein contained in more than spinach 2.8g/100g, twice as much, and contains exactly the body's essential eight amino acids, for complete protein. According to our daily dietary intake of protein is mainly in the animal eggs, poultry and meat intake, these foods contain a high amount of fat, for the pursuit of slimming modern people are taboo, eggs, high cholesterol only exists in animal foods, plant foods contained in the chemical structure and cholesterol similar plant sterols, in the body can prevent the deposition of cholesterol, so moringa tree can be said to be "High protein, zero cholesterol" food. II. rich in various types of minerals Moringa minerals include calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron, sulfur. Which every hundred grams of fresh moringa leaves of calcium for 440mg, is the same weight of milk calcium 120mg four times; every hundred grams of fresh moringa leaves of iron content of 7mg, is the same weight of cabbage iron 2.1mg more than three times, so the consumption of moringa tree products, you can supplement our lives easily deficient minerals. As analyzed in the table: III. High content of vitamins social and economic development and progress, people's dietary patterns have changed considerably, and in the end the modern dietary situation? There is a nutrient deficiency phenomenon? According to the reality of the situation and a lot of survey data show that modern people in protein, fat and sugar intake is too much, but the vitamin and mineral intake is not balanced, of which the average intake of vitamin B1, B2, B6, E is very easy to be lower than normal. Healthy body from the nutritional balance, moringa tree latent rich vitamins, can make up for the daily nutrients we easily lack. Fourth, the moringa tree in the medical application of the moringa tree has become a recent Europe, America, Japan and other countries and Taiwan's emerging health food, which is characterized by high calcium, high protein, high fiber and low-fat, to become the people to improve the quality of life and diet, enhance immunity, promote good health, prevention of disease of the magical plant. Human health depends on the body's normal proteins, carbohydrates, fats, etc. to maintain a healthy body, the lack of elements and substances needed by the human body will reduce immunity and resistance, the lack of any one of the elements of the human body, the human body will inevitably lose some of the body's functions, a variety of diseases and problems ensued. The following list of mineral elements on the role of the human body and the impact: calcium (Ca): promote nerve conduction, lack of calcium will be easy to nervousness, anger, cramps, eye loss. Balance can avoid osteoporosis. Potassium (K): Enhance brain power and thinking power, lack of potassium will make the bone machine paralysis, heart weakness. Magnesium (Ha): provides a source of energy. Lack of magnesium makes nervousness, impatience, muscle decline, calcium imbalance caused. Sodium (Na): to maintain stable blood pressure. Sodium deficiency lowers blood pressure, weakness, fatigue, angina, etc. Phosphorus (P): Conducts messages, supplies energy and balances calcium. Lack of phosphorus causes muscle deterioration and bone deformity. Zinc (Zn): Improve immunity, antioxidant, anti-aging ingredients, balance blood sugar, lower blood pressure, maintain normal development. Copper (Fe): Improve immunity, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, involved in bone formation. Maintains the nervous system. Iron (Cu): Improve immunity, vitality and blood tonic. Antioxidant, anti-cancer. In the traditional use of the moringa tree for the treatment of the country, in the origin of northern India and Africa residents are known to use the moringa tree as a nutritional supplement and treatment of a number of diseases, moringa tree roots, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, gums, etc. can be used for medicinal purposes, can be referred to as India, Africa, and other countries or regions of the treatment of disease, health care of the treasure. Root has the effect of diuresis, spleen: treatment of loss of appetite, stone lymph. Root or root bark has wind repellent, anti-inflammatory, stomachic, diuretic, aphrodisiac effect: the treatment of headache, vertigo, asthma, stomatitis, pharyngitis, gas, gastrointestinal spasms, neurasthenia, hypertension, diabetes, scurvy, beriberi, dermatophytosis, pustules and various cancers. Leaves are gynecological medicine. It treats inflammation of the uterus, reddish leucorrhea, gonorrhea and syphilis. The leaves have the effect of removing dampness, dispelling cold, aphrodisiac, diuretic and swelling. The pods are effective in inducing dampness, strengthening the spleen and stomach. It is used to treat liver disease, joint pain, and paralysis of hands and feet. The seeds cure swollen liver and spleen. Gum treats gangrene of teeth and bones, earache. The composition and pharmacological study of the moringa tree, the roots and wood of the moringa tree contains alkaloids, saponins, and contains moringin. Leaves and young fruits contain protein, fat, carbohydrates and a variety of minerals. Seeds contain oil. It contains oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and glyceric acid. Moringa is also rich in nutrients, moringa seed oil, carotenoids, vitamin A, vitamin c, calcium, iron and potassium. Moringa contains an antibiotic called [moringin], which is antibiotic against gram-positive bacteria. It also contains moringin, which has antibacterial effects on a variety of pathogenic bacteria. Seed oil extracted from Moringa has an antibacterial effect on both Gram-positive and negative Mycobacterium avium. Root and seed oil has a stimulating effect to induce red foam. Leaf juice has emetic effect. According to the Indian Ministry of Forestry published "Encyclopedia of Indian medicinal plants" records, in India's various schools of medicine in various parts of the seeds other than with the libido, stop spasms, worm expulsion, anti-inflammatory, excitatory, cardiovascular, promote blood circulation, diuretic, prevention of stones, expel intestinal parasites, expectorant and to help digestion. Various parts of the Moringa tree are also used in the treatment of stroke, distress, facial nerve paralysis, intestinal colic, urinary stones, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, hysteria, gout, lumbago, rheumatism, skin disorders, enlargement of the spleen and liver, as well as tumors, ulcers, animal bites, and eye diseases. The high iron content of Moringa leaves is used to treat anemia in the Philippines and is known as "mother's best friend". Malawians believe that long-term consumption of moringa leaves also promote ovulation, often eat moringa leaves of women and cattle are more likely to give birth to twins, this effect has yet to be confirmed by rigorous scientific analysis. Moringa flowers smell fragrant, is a very good honey plant. In Haiti, Moringa flower tea is used to treat colds. Flowers contain high amounts of calcium and potassium, used as a health food in India, said to be very helpful to the eyesight. Indians believe that the flowers and buttermilk **** boiled and drunk to have a desire (apheodisiac) effect. According to the traditional use of moringa for health care and treatment of national and regional experience, in recent years, some international scientific research institutions and organizations are also conducting some research and reports, now we choose some common diseases using the principle of moringa and medical basis: I. Diabetes in India's traditional medical system, with the use of moringa seed oil for the treatment of diabetes. Moringa leaves are used to treat high blood pressure, and in Senegal West Africa it is used to treat diabetes. Siaka Goudiaby, a hospital administrator in Ziguinchor, Senegal, who is diabetic himself, said that he has been drinking moringa leaf tea regularly every day for three years to control his blood sugar without having to rely on medication. Addis Ababa University in Sopia, clothes E. Makonnen et al. to rabbits as a test, found that the water extract of moringa leaves has its hypoglycemic effect, can reduce blood glucose concentration in three hours, although its effect is lower than the commonly used hypoglycemic drugs glibenclamide, but has been able to treat diabetes in the moringa tree for the effect of the preliminary scientific evidence. (For the original text, see Phytotherapy Res. 11(2):147--148, 1997) World Intellectual Propety Organization (World Intellectual Propety Organization) Patent No. W002094299 (published on November 8, 2002) (Gazette, November 8, 2002) mentions the use of extracts of cashew bark, moringa leaves, Sclerocarya birrea root (a tree native to Africa, commonly known as Marula) or Prosopis- africana bark (a tree native to Africa, Acacia spp.) in capsules of 2.08mg each for 8 days to alleviate diabetic Symptoms. Visible on the chanterelles leaves in the treatment of diabetes components of the application has entered a systematic purification, the formulation of the stage, the 2l century is the century of biotechnology, believe it or not. Diabetes mellitus (Diabetes mellitus) is the human body related trace element deficiency and free radicals lead to insulin secretion reduction or utilization of obstacles to the occurrence of elevated blood glucose and glucose, fat, protein and other metabolic disorders as the characteristics of the disease. Scientific supplementation of these elements, effective antioxidant and antagonist of free radicals can control the symptoms, alleviate the condition and even get rid of diabetes. Research has proved that trace elements closely related to diabetes are: chromium (cr): insulin is the core substance of glucose metabolism, and insulin must have chromium to assist the role of insulin, the lack of chromium in the body, the body has more insulin can not be brought into full play. Chromium deficiency induces vasculopathy in diabetes, which is the main cause of all complications of diabetes. Zinc (zn): Zinc is an essential trace element that is involved in almost all life activities by participating in enzymatic reactions, especially in the immune and endocrine systems. In diabetic patients, mouth ulcers, lower limb ulcers, non-healing wounds, itchy skin, etc. are directly related to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency decreases insulin quality and activity. Selenium (se): selenium deficiency is common in diabetics, insulin cell activity decreases, triggering free radicals to attack insulin cells causing damage to the knife cells, secondary damage to the heart, liver, kidney cells, and even induced tumors. Magnesium (Ma): a kind of diabetic people's special need of trace elements. Magnesium-deficient diabetics are prone to heart rhythm disorders. Induce diabetic nerve damage and retinopathy. Calcium (ca): Almost all diabetics are deficient in calcium, and the prevalence of calcium deficiency in middle-aged and elderly people is associated with abnormal glucose tolerance in middle-aged and elderly people, and calcium deficiency induces diabetic bone and joint disease. Vanadium (V): diabetic body vanadium abnormal lack of vanadium, lack of vanadium will reduce the body's utilization of insulin, if only use drugs to stimulate more secretion of insulin, without adjusting and improve the sensitivity of insulin, it will only aggravate the resistance. The increase of free radicals in the body caused by various reasons will harm insulin cells, triggering and aggravating the secretion of insulin knife, cell damage, leading to the occurrence or aggravation of diabetes. Therefore, today's diabetes treatment, in addition to conventional dietary therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin method, scientific supplementation of the lack of micronutrients and antioxidants becomes more important and urgent. Moringa in addition to supplementation, but also people suffering from this disease can have a preventive effect, it contains a huge amount of elements such as: calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Ma), sodium (Na), phosphorus (P) and trace elements, such as: zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) have activation of the cells to enhance immunity, help to prevent the reproduction of diabetes. ii. osteoporosis according to research, adult According to research, before adulthood, more bones are produced than destroyed, calcium will continue to accumulate in the bones, and the density of bones reaches its highest at the age of 35 to 40, after which the rate of bone production is less than the rate of bone loss. In the first 5 to 10 years after menopause (at about 45 to 50 years of age), bone loss accelerates to about 0.5 to 1% per year, and men lose about 20 to 30% of their total bone mass in old age, while women may lose as much as 40 to 50%! So prevention of osteoporosis should start from the first day of life. Osteoporosis is not exclusive to the elderly, Dr La-Ura Bachrach, professor of pediatrics at Stanford University, pointed out that teenagers may also get osteoporosis, although the chances are low, but there are three people can be classified as a high-risk group: the first is engaged in intense sports female athletes, they may be engaged in highly masculine physical activities and the loss of female hormones, and thus the risk of osteoporosis. The first is female athletes engaged in intense sports, who may lose the preservation of bone mass due to the reduction of female hormones as a result of engaging in highly masculine physical activities (similar to the physiological condition after menopause); the second is those who are on a partial or low-calorie diet, who become a high-risk group due to insufficient intake of calcium; and the third is those who are long-term users of steroids, such as asthmatics, as steroids may interfere with the production of bone mass. The third group is long-term steroid users such as asthmatics, because steroids may interfere with bone production. Women who have passed menopause are more susceptible to osteoporosis than those of the same age because of the decline in female hormones, which causes a decline in the ability to preserve and expand bone mass. Elderly people are less able to absorb calcium from food due to poorer digestion and absorption, and they also need to consume a higher amount of calcium because they are more susceptible to calcium loss due to lower levels of physical activity. Exercise is essential for preserving bone mass. Bones are strengthened by constant exercise and weakened by not having to bear weight. This is evidenced by the fact that astronauts always test for bone loss after returning to Earth from space missions. This is because in the absence of gravity in space, the bones do not need to support the weight of the body, so the bones will also be lazy! Even though top nutritionists are assembled to help astronauts formulate their diets, they cannot completely stop bone loss. Therefore, long-term bedridden people are prone to osteoporosis, the same reason swimming because the water buoyancy so that the bones do not need to support the body to resist gravity, swimming is not easy to sports injuries, but also can not strengthen the bones. Many people think that people with osteoporosis can solve the problem by taking calcium tablets, but according to the Guangzhou Daily, March 23, 2004, in the eighth page of the daily health care column reported: the Chinese Medical Association Orthopedic Association, Qiu Guixing, chairman of the Committee, think that eating calcium tablets alone is ineffective for osteoporosis in the elderly, basically, calcium is discharged from the stool is equal to not eat. According to another report in Guangzhou Daily on the same day, "grannies are prone to fracture if they eat too much meat", the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a report. Researcher Selmeyer pointed out that the diet of various proteins can play a different role in the metabolism of bone. She said that animal foods provide mostly precursor acids, while plant foods contain basal precursors in their proteins. An imbalance between precursor acids and basic precursors in the diet can cause an accumulation of acids that can have a negative effect on bone. Selmeyer said, "The report concludes that increased dietary intake of plant proteins, along with a reduction in animal proteins, may reduce the loss of femoral tissue and the risk of hip fracture." According to the reports of the two authorities and experts mentioned above, neither drugs nor animal proteins alone are the ideal way to treat this type of disease. From the conclusion of the laboratory results, the moringa tree contains particularly high plant calcium, every 100g of dried moringa leaf powder contains 1320mg of calcium, as long as 75g can provide 1000mg of calcium required by men daily 60g can provide 800mg of calcium required by women daily, for the elderly, although not a large amount of food, eating a few spoonfuls of moringa leaf powder every day is absolutely acceptable, as long as the daily adherence to the As long as you keep drinking it every day, you can avoid osteoporosis, not to mention the many health benefits of moringa products for maintaining good health. Moringa also contains a high amount of leucine, emphasizing that it is fat rather than muscle protein that is lost when dieting, and that high calcium is an important condition of a weight loss diet, so it is clear that the leaves of the moringa tree are the ideal ingredient for weight loss diets. In addition, high-calcium diet sufferers from colon cancer than the low-calcium diet 35% lower, women in their reproductive years to consume a high-calcium diet can reduce the chances of breast cancer by 30%, can achieve the purpose of cancer prevention calcium intake is 1,000-1,500 mg per day. the United States currently recommends that the amount of calcium intake of adults under the age of 50 years of age is 1,000 mg per day, 50 years of age or older is 1,200 mg. Ⅲ. High blood pressure Moringa leaves are high in potassium, which helps to antagonize the high sodium diet that people are used to in China: a high sodium diet leads to high blood pressure, while a high potassium diet prevents high blood pressure.
