Tea is one of the most popular beverages around the world, and many cultures have special ceremonies that revolve around drinking it, such as afternoon tea in the United Kingdom or Gongfu in China.

When you think of tea, your mind may automatically go to common varieties like peppermint or chamomile, but tea comes in many varieties, each with their own health benefits and unique tastes.

Blueberry tea is made by steeping leaves of the blueberry bush in hot water. A fragrant and delicious beverage, it provides a number
of unique health benefits that make it both refreshing to drink and beneficial to your body.

Nutrition Information
Brewing your tea using blueberry leaves instead of regular tea leaves adds several other nutrients to your drink, including:

• Fiber
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin K
• Manganese
• Potassium

Some people add dried blueberries before steeping their blueberry tea, which helps add additional nutrients and flavor. Keep in mind
that adding dried fruit also adds sugar and calories.

Potential Health Benefits of Blueberry Tea
Although many people drink tea for the taste alone, blueberry tea offers a number of health benefits. Add a cup to your morning meal
or pair a glass with dinner to supplement your diet and enjoy several rich health benefits such as:

Improved heart health. High levels of potassium make blueberry tea a heart-healthy beverage. Studies show that enough potassium in your diet can help prevent heart disease. Drinking blueberry tea is an easy way to add potassium to your diet without adding fats, carbohydrates, or sugars found in other potassium-rich foods.

A stronger immune system. That can make you sick less often and speed up your recovery process when you do get sick.  Blueberry tea is rich in Vitamin C, which has been shown to help make your immune system work better. Anthocyanins in blueberry tea further strengthen your body’s immune system.

Better brain function. Blueberry tea can help your brain work better. This applies also to people with cognitive brain disorders like Alzheimer’s or Dementia. For instance, blueberry tea helps prevent plaque from building up in the brain.

What Is Moringa?

Moringa (moringa oleifera) is known by over 100 names in different languages around
the world. This easy-to-grow tropical plant species, native to the Himalayan mountains
and parts of India and Africa, comes packed with over 90 protective compounds, including isothiocyanates, flavonoids and phenolic acids.

There are actually believed to be at least a dozen different varieties of the moringa tree,
which belong to the plant family Moringaceae. These are fast-growing , tall, leafy plants
that produce flowers or pods.

Of all the species, one (moringa oleifera) is by far the most utilized.

Prior to the plant’s effects being demonstrated in scientific studies, it was used extensively in traditional medicine practices like Ayurveda medicine for over 4,000
years.

Moringa has gained a reputation for fighting inflammation and combating various effects of malnutrition and aging, earning the nickname “the miracle plant.”

Benefits of moringa include helping treat a wide variety of conditions, such as:

• inflammation-related diseases
• cancer
• diabetes
• anemia
• low energy and fatigue
• arthritis and other joint pain, such as rheumatism
• allergies and asthma
• constipation, stomach pains and and diarrhea
• epilepsy
• stomach and intestinal ulcers or spasms
• chronic headaches
• heart problems, including high blood pressure
• kidney stones
• fluid retention
• thyroid disorders
• low sex drive
• bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections

Nutrition Facts

Moringa is a unique plant because almost all parts of it- leaves, seeds, flowers/pods, stem and roots – can be used as a source for nutrition and other medicinal properties.

The most popular medicinal use of this plant involves drying and grinding down moringa leaves, where most of the antioxidants are found.

Studies have revealed that moringa powder is loaded with phytochemicals, protein, calcium, beta-carotene, vitamin C and potassium. Because it provides a concentrated source of vitamin A, it’s given to thousands of children in third-world countries every year suffering from life-threatening vitamin A deficiency, which is linked to impaired immune function.

Consuming it can also improve intake of trace minerals, amino acids and phenolic compounds. The plant contains a rare and unique combination of disease preventing phytonutrients, including flavonoids, glucosides, glucosinolates, zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol.

Aside from the valuable leaves, the pods of the moringa tree also contain seeds that hold a healing type of oil. Oil from moringa seeds can be used to cook with or put directly onto the surface of the body.

According to Kuli Kuli, an organization that harvests moringa plants in Africa, gram for gram, the plant contains:

• two times the amount of protein of yogurt
• four times the amount of vitamin A as carrots
• three times the amount of potassium as bananas
• four times the amount of calcium as cow’s’ milk
• seven times the amount of vitamin C as oranges

Top 7 Moringa Benefits

1. Provides Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Compounds
   Moringa oleifera seems to have similar abilities as certain conventional drugs, only it doesn’t pose the same level of risk for experiencing side effects.
   According to a report published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, it contains a mix of essential amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), carotenoid phytonutrients (the same kinds found in plants like carrots and tomatoes), antioxidants, such as quercetin, and natural antibacterial compounds that work in the same way as many anti-inflammatory drugs.
   Studies have shown that these compounds are protective of the heart, natural circulatory stimulants, and possess antitumor, anti-epileptic, anti-ulcer, antispasmodic, antihypertensive and antidiabetic effects.
   Moringa powder is high in several powerful anti-aging compounds that lower the effects of free radicals, oxidative stress and inflammation. These are associated with a reduced risk for chronic diseases, such as stomach, lung or colon cancer; diabetes; hypertension; and age-related eye disorders.
2. Balances Hormones and Slows the Effects of Aging
   A 2014 study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology tested the effects of moringa (sometimes also called “drumstick”) along with amaranth leaves (Amaranthus tricolor) on levels of inflammation and oxidative stress in menopausal adult women. Researchers wanted to investigate if these superfoods could help slow the effects of aging by balancing hormones naturally.
   Levels of antioxidant status, including serum retinal, serum ascorbic acid, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde, were analyzed before and after supplementation, along with fasting blood glucose and haemoglobin levels.
   Results showed that supplementing with moringa and amaranth caused significant increases in antioxidant status along with significant decreases in markers of oxidative stress. Better fasting blood glucose control and positive increases in haemoglobin were also found.
   Can moringa help you sexually? There’s some evidence it may boost libido and work like a natural birth control compound, according to some animal studies.
   Although it’s historically been used as a natural aphrodisiac, it actually seems to help reduce rates of conception. That said, it can boost the immune system during
   pregnancy and also increase breast milk production/lactation, according to some studies.
3. Helps Improve Digestive Health
   Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, moringa has been used in ancient systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, to prevent or treat stomach ulcers, liver disease, kidney damage, fungal or yeast infections (such as candida), digestive complaints, and infections.
   A common use of moringa oil is helping to boost liver function, therefore detoxifying the body of harmful substances, such as heavy metal toxins. It might also be capable of helping fight kidney stones, urinary tract infections, constipation, fluid retention/edema and diarrhea.
4. Balances Blood Sugar Levels, Helping Fight Diabetes
   Moringa contains a type of acid called chlorogenic acid, which has been shown to help control blood sugar levels and allow cells to take up or release glucose (sugar) as needed. This gives it natural antidiabetic and hormone-balancing properties.
   Aside from chloregnic acid, compounds called isothiocyanates that are present in moringa leaf have also been tied to natural protection against diabetes.
   A study that appeared in the International Journal of Food Science Technology found that this plant had positive effects on blood sugar control and insulin levels in patients with diabetes when eaten as part of a high-carbohydrate meal.
   Separate studies have demonstrated that antidiabetic activities of low doses of moringa seed powder (50-100 milligrams per kilogram body weight) help increase antioxidant status and enzyme production within the liver, pancreas and kidneys of rats and prevent damage compared to control groups.
   High levels of immunoglobulin (lgA, lgG), fasting blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1 c) – three markers seen in diabetics – were also found to decrease
   as a result of moringa given to rats with diabetes.
   Can moringa help you lose weight? Because it can improve insulin sensitivity and hormone balance, it may offer some advantages to those following a weight loss plan.
5. Protects and Nourishes the Skin
   Several popular uses of moringa oil are to help retain skin’s moisture, speed up wound healing, and soothe dry or burnt skin.
   Moringa contains natural antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral compounds that protect the skin from various forms of infections. Some of the common ways it is used on the skin include reducing athlete’s foot, eliminating odors, reducing inflammation associated with acne breakouts, treating pockets of infection or abscesses, getting rid of dandruff, fighting gum disease (gingivitis), and helping heal bites, burns, viral warts and wounds.
   The oil is applied directly to the skin as a drying, astringent agent used to kill bacteria, but at the same time, when used regularly it’s known to act like a lubricant and hydrate the skin by restoring its natural moisture barrier. It’s a common ingredient used in food manufacturing and perfumes because it prevents spoilage by killing bacteria – plus it has a pleasant smell and reduces odors.
6. Helps Stabilize Your Mood and Protects Brain Health
   As a high-protein food and a rich source of the amino acid tryptophan, moringa supports neurotransmitter functions, including those that produce the “feel good”
   hormone serotonin.
   It’s also rich in antioxidants and compounds that may improve thyroid health, which makes it beneficial for maintaining high energy levels plus fighting fatigue, depression, low libido, moods swings and insomnia.
7. Good for the Environment (Water and Topsoil)
   A noteworthy characteristic of the moringa plant is that it’s capable of growing in depleted or dry soils where many other types of beneficial plants or trees cannot
   survive. This is precisely why certain undernourished populations living in third-world countries, such as Somalia or India, have benefited from it during times of famine.
   Aside from providing important nutrients, it is used to help restore fertile soil, aid in forest restoration efforts and filter water.
   One interesting use of the seeds is for water purification. Combining moringa with water helps impurities cling to the seeds so they can be removed, leaving behind better quality water that’s lower in toxins.
   Salt also seems to bind to moringa, which is beneficial for producing fresh-tasting water.
   Some studies have shown that 0.2 grams of ground moringa seed can turn one liter of contaminated water into safe drinking water. This is due to the coagulating actions of certain ingredients in the plant that absorb bacteria.

Risks and Side Effects

What are the side effects of taking moringa? Because it’s completely natural and free from chemical additives (when you buy a pure, high-quality brand), when taken by mouth or used on the skin it seems to be very well-tolerated.

Moringa side effects are still possible and may include:

• lower blood pressure
• slowed heart rate
• uterine contractions
• cell mutations when high amounts of seeds are consumed
• interference with fertility

Leaves, fruit, oil and seeds from the moringa tree have been consumed safely for centuries, but today there are various forms of supplements or extracts sold, so it’s important to buy the purest kind you can find and to read ingredient labels carefully.
During pregnancy or when breastfeeding, it’s best to avoid moringa extract, root or high
doses of supplements since not enough research has been done to show it’s safe. It’s possible that chemicals within the plant’s root, bark and flowers can lead to contractions of the uterus, which can cause complications during pregnancy.

How to Use It

As you can probably tell by now, this plant can be used in many different ways in order to utilize all the available moringa benefits. Because of the long transport time needed to ship moringa from parts of Africa or Asia where it’s grown, in the U.S. it’s usually sold in powder or capsule form, which prolongs its shelf life.

An interesting characteristic of moringa? It’s said to taste like a mix between horseradish and asparagus. It might not have the most appealing flavor, but it’s a
supplement with one of the the richest supplies of vital nutrients in the world.

Dosage Recommendations

There’s no recommended or required dosage of moringa at this time since it’s only an herbal supplement and not an essential nutrient. That said, there’s some evidence that the optimum dose for humans has been calculated to be 29 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

It’s recommended that you start by taking half a teaspoon of dried moringa orally per day for three to five days, increasing your intake slowly over two weeks as you get acclimated to its effects.

Most people choose to take moringa every several days but not every single day for long duration of time, since it can can cause laxative effects and an upset stomach when overused.

Here are the most common ways to use moringa to get the best moringa benefits possible:

• Dried moringa leaves or moringa powder: It takes roughly seven pounds of moringa leaves to make one pound of dried moringa powder. The leaves are
  considered the most potent parts of the plant, containing the most antioxidants and available macronutrients. Follow dosage directions carefully, taking up to six grams daily for up to three weeks at a time (which has been shown to be safe, according to studies).
• Moringa tea: This type of moringa is made from dried leaves steeped in hot water, just like many other beneficial herbal teas. The most nutrient-dense types
  are organic and dried slowly under low temperatures, which helps preserve delicate compounds. Avoid boiling the leaves to help retain the nutrients best,
  and don’t cook with moringa if possible.
• Moringa seeds: The pods and flowers appear to have a high phenolic content along with proteins and fatty acids. These are the parts of the plant used to purify water and add protein to low-nutrient diets. Look for them added to creams, capsules and powders. The immature green pods of the plant are often called “drumsticks” and are prepared similarly to green beans. The seeds inside the pods are removed and roasted or dried just like nuts to preserve their freshness.
• Moringa oil: The oil from seeds is sometimes called Ben oil. Look for it in natural creams or lotions. Keep the oil in a cool, dark place away from high temperatures or the sun.

Conclusion

• What is moringa good for? In 2008 the National Institute of Health called moringa (moringa oleifera) the “plant of the year.” Moringa health benefits include providing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, balancing hormones
  and slowing the effects of aging, improving digestive health, balancing blood sugar levels and helping fight diabetes, protecting and nourishing the skin, and
  helping stabilize mood and protect brain health.
• There are actually believed to be at least a dozen different varieties of this plant, but one (moringa oleifera) is by far the most utilized.
• Most commonly, supplements are made from dried moringa leaf which forms a powder. Other forms include tea and oil/tincture.
• It’s a great source of nutrients including antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, calcium and even amino acids.

1. Moringa oleifera Is Very Nutritious

Moringa oleifera is a fairly large tree native to North India.

It goes by a variety of names, such as drumstick tree, horseradish tree or ben oil tree.

Almost all parts of the tree are eaten or used as ingredients in traditional herbal medicines.

This especially applies to the leaves and pods, which are commonly eaten in parts of India and Africa (1Trusted Source).

Moringa leaves are an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals. One cup of fresh, chopped leaves (21 grams) contains (2Trusted Source):

• Protein: 2 grams
• Vitamin 86: 19% of the RDA
• Vitamin C: 12% of the RDA
• Iron: 11 % of the RDA
• Riboflavin (B2): 11 % of the RDA
• Vitamin A (from beta-carotene): 9% of the RDA
• Magnesium: 8% of the RDA

In Western countries, the dried leaves are sold as dietary supplements, either in powder or capsule form.

Compared to the leaves, the pods are generally lower in vitamins and minerals.
However, they are exceptionally rich in vitamin C. One cup of fresh, sliced pods (100 grams) contains 157% of your daily requirement.

The diet of people in developing nations sometimes lacks vitamins, minerals and protein. In these countries, Moringa oleifera can be an important source of many
essential nutrients.

However, there is one downside: Moringa leaves may also contain high levels of antinutrients, which can reduce the absorption of minerals and protein (3Trusted
Source, 4).

Another thing to keep in mind is that taking Moringa oleifera supplements in capsules won’t supply a large number of nutrients.

The amounts are negligible compared to what you consume if you eat a balanced diet based on whole foods.

2. Moringa oleifera Is Rich in Antioxidants

Antioxidants are compounds that act against free radicals in your body.
High levels of free radicals may cause oxidative stress, which is associated with chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).
Several antioxidant plant compounds have been found in the leaves of Moringa oleifera (7Trusted Source, BTrusted Source, 9).
In addition to vitamin C and beta-carotene, these include (10, 11):

• Quercetin: This powerful antioxidant may help lower blood pressure (12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source).
• Chlorogenic acid: Also found in high amounts in coffee, chlorogenic acid may help moderate blood sugar levels after meals (14Trusted Source, 15Trusted
  Source).

One study in women found that taking 1.5 teaspoons (7 grams) of moringa leaf powder every day for three months significantly increased blood antioxidant levels (16).
Moringa leaf extract may also be used as a food preservative. It increases the shelf life of meat by reducing oxidation (17).

SUMMARY

Moringa oleifera is rich in various antioxidants, including quercetin and chlorogenic acid.
Moringa leaf powder can increase blood antioxidant levels.

3. Moringa May Lower Blood Sugar Levels

High blood sugar can be a serious health problem. In fact, it’s the main characteristic of
diabetes.
Over time, high blood sugar levels raise the risk of many serious health problems, including heart disease. For this reason, it’s important to keep your blood sugar within healthy limits.
Interestingly, several studies have shown that Moringa oleifera may help lower blood sugar levels.
However, most of the evidence is based on animal studies. Only a few human-based studies exist, and they’re generally of low quality (18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source).
One study in 30 women showed that taking 1.5 teaspoons (7 grams) of moringa leaf powder every day for three months reduced fasting blood sugar levels by 13.5%, on average (16).
Another small study in six people with diabetes found that adding 50 grams of moringa leaves to a meal reduced the rise in blood sugar by 21% (21).
Scientists believe these effects are caused by plant compounds such as isothiocyanates (22Trusted Source).

SUMMARY

Moringa leaves may lead to reduced blood sugar levels, but more research is needed before any solid recommendations can be made.

4. Moringa oleifera May Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection or injury.
It’s an essential protective mechanism but may become a major health issue if it continues over a long period of time.
In fact, sustained inflammation is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease and cancer (23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source).
Most whole fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices have anti-inflammatory properties.
However, the degree to which they can help depends on the types and amounts of antiinflammatory
compounds they contain.
Scientists believe that isothiocyanates are the main anti-inflammatory compounds in moringa leaves, pods and seeds (25, 26Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
But so far, research has been limited to test-tube and animal studies. It remains to be seen if Moringa oleifera has similar anti-inflammatory effects in humans.

SUMMARY

In animal and test-tube studies, Moringa oleifera has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties. This effect has not been studied in humans.

5. Moringa Can Lower Cholesterol

Having high cholesterol has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
Fortunately, many plant foods can effectively reduce cholesterol. These include flaxseeds, oats and almonds.
Both animal- and human-based studies have shown that Moringa oleifera may have similar cholesterol-lowering effects (7Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source, 28TrustedSource, 29Trusted Source).

SUMMARY

Moringa oleifera can lower your cholesterol levels, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.

6. Moringa oleifera May Protect Against Arsenic Toxicity

Arsenic contamination of food and water is a problem in many parts of the world.
Certain types of rice may contain particularly high levels (30Trusted Source).
Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic may lead to health problems over time.
For instance, studies have linked long-term exposure to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease (31Trusted Source, 32Trusted Source).
Interestingly, several studies in mice and rats have shown that the leaves and seeds of Moringa oleifera may protect against some of the effects of arsenic toxicity (33Trusted Source, 34Trusted Source, 35).
These results are promising, but it’s not yet known whether this also applies to humans.

SUMMARY

Animal studies suggest that Moringa oleifera may protect against arsenic toxicity.
However, this has not yet been studied in humans.

The Bottom Line

Moringa oleifera is an Indian tree that has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.
