As New Year's resolutions begin to fade, I'm happy to still find myself focused on eating healthy and exercisingI Until recently, however, I didn't give much thought about what I was drinking. As an avid tea drinker, I drink 2-3 cups of tea per day of any tea that strikes my fancy. Needless to say, when I heard there was a "nutritious tea," out there, I was very intrigued! I never would have though of tea as a nutritional powerhouse - until now.
The kind folks at Green Virgin Products sent me a sample of their Gourmet Moringa Loose Leaf tea and Moringa Ultimate Super Fine Powder to try. I wasn't too familiar with Moringa, but the more I learned about it, I couldn't believe I haven't discovered it sooner. Moringa is dubbed the “miracle tree” and the “world’s most nutritious plant species ever studied,” this amazing tree is native to regions of Africa/Asia but can grow almost anywhere due to its incredible ability to extract nutrients from the soil and air. Its leaves are an all-around green superfood; with more than 90 nutrients! High in a wide array of vitamins and minerals it’s anti-oxidant rich (46 anti-oxidants), anti-diabetes (reduces blood glucose) and promotes heart health (lipid lowering) among other benefits. (see below)
Moringa is the most nutrient dense plant on our planet and has caught the attention of scientists around the world. It has more vitamins, minerals, proteins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids combined than any other known food. The tree’s use as a remedy for many health issues and as a great source of energy can be traced back centuries.
