The Green Picture: Madonna planted a Moringa Tree

The Green Picture: Madonna planted a Moringa Tree At New Academy For Girls In Malawi
As Luke mentioned yesterday, Madonna is currently in Malawi for the groundbreaking of her new Academy for Girls school. We’ve been following her efforts to bring a school to the Southern African country ever since she announced the ambitious plans back in May of last year. Today, the 51-year-old planted a Moringa tree, also known as the “miracle tree” for its cure of many diseases, at the construction site of the new academy for girls at Chinkhota village. Joining her was President Bingu wa Mutharika and many hundreds of kids from the various orphanages she supports. To learn more about her work in Malawi, visit her Raising Malawi site.
Imagine if you will, a tree so full of nutrients, it can rebuild weak bones, enrich anemic blood and even enable a malnourished mother to nurse her starving baby. Imagine if there was a tree that can purify dirty water, can treat diabetes and control high blood pressure. Imagine if this same tree is drought-resistant and can grow under harsh conditions in countries suffering from poverty and hunger.
There is such a tree…it’s called Moringa Oleifera, known also as The Miracle Tree. There are 13 varieties of Moringa, Moringa Oleifera is the most well known. Every part of this tree is edible, from the leaves, trunks, stems, all the way down to its root. The flowers can be eaten or used to make tea and provide good amounts of both calcium and potassium. The young pods can be cooked and reportedly have a taste reminiscent of asparagus. The green peas and surrounding white material can be removed from larger pods and cooked in various ways.
Where Can You Find Moringa Oleifera?
Not many people know about the health benefits of Moringa Oleifera, and it’s rare to find it in the US. The tree typically grows in tropical and subtropical climates. The Moringa tree is said to have originated in the Himalayas, today it can be found in countries like Africa, China, India and the Philippines just to name a few.
There is a US based company called Synergy Worldwide that has managed to turn the miracle tree into a powder drink mix called NutriMor. NutriMor contains all the nutrient parts found in the Moringa tree, it’s the first all organic energy drink mix with no preservatives added. NutriMor is also the first product to include the highest quality Moringa leaf in a health drink.
NutriMor is a unique 100% natural blend of five parts of the Moringa Oleifera tree. With over 90 naturally occurring nutritional compounds including 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatories, NutriMor is hands down the most nutritious energy drink mix to date. As little as one convenient serving of NutriMor every day fills in the nutritional gaps left by your regular diet, even if you eat well.
Moringa has an impressive range of medicinal uses with high nutritional value. Different parts of this plant contain a profile of important minerals, and are a good source of protein, vitamins, beta-carotene, amino acids and various phenolics. The Moringa plant provides a rich and rare combination of zeatin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol, caffeoylquinic acid and kaempferol.
NutriMor is an all natural health drink mix derived from Moringa Oleifera.
Child Nutrition
On November - 3 - 2009
Child nutrition is something every parent should be concerned with. Nutrition is directly linked to the development of the brain, as well as the proper development of the body. This means that through proper nutrition your child should not only be smarter, but should develop at the right time, be less prone to illness, and have a happier and more vibrant life. Sound nutrition and fitness habits developed during childhood have the potential to last a lifetime, so start today to teach your child how to take care of their body and meet their nutritional needs through the foods they eat.
There is a huge need to modify children’s diets to reduce their risk of chronic diseases, but also to promote optimal growth and development. Too many children are filling up on the convenient snack foods that provide little to no nutritional value, and are completely missing out on the foods, vitamins, nutrients, etc. that sustain proper growth. While your child may be eating a lot, and appear to be at a healthy weight (or maybe even overweight) under-nutrition could very well be a problem. Under-nutrition and hunger are significant and growing problems for American children today, many of whom don’t get enough of the right food to sustain proper growth and development.
It is important to understand that the children referenced are not necessarily from poverty stricken families. Many under-nourished children are fed when they are hungry, and they eat three meals (or more) a day. So how is it possible that they can still be under-nourished? This is caused when the foods they are eating are not providing them with the things their bodies need for proper and sustainable growth. Foods that are high in sugar, salt, or basically that are processed and refined generally do not provide your child with any of the nutrients they need. However, most parents find it difficult to get their children to eat the foods that do provide what their bodies need.
The neatly packaged, processed, and refined foods are the foods the child wants, will eat, and that are convenient and easy for you to give them. If you, like many other moms, have trouble getting your child to eat the right things; if your child won’t eat his or her vegetables; if you find yourself breaking out the pre-made frozen waffles rather than mixing up a batch of whole-wheat waffles for breakfast in the morning, take comfort, you are not alone. However, this only means that like many others you may not be providing your child with the proper nutrition they need for longevity and health. So what can you do? You can do a lot of things, like change their entire lifestyle, tie your child to their chair, and force food down their throat etc. but what can you realistically do to ensure that your child is getting what they need each day?
In order to get your child’s nutrition where it needs to be you need to find foods or drinks that are easy, convenient, appealing, and also that contain all of the things our bodies need to function optimally. The natural health beverage mix NutriMor would be a great way to start your child on the path to proper nutrition. NutriMor comes in a convenient mix, much like a crystal light, so while it is a health food it still holds the appeal to a child. It is refreshing, so unlike asparagus or other vegetables your child may not like because of the taste, you will find they will drink NutriMor. And, most importantly, it is chock full of the nutrients, vitamins, etc. that your child needs for optimal growth. NutriMor, a product of Synergy Worldwide is not artificially fortified. Rather, it is made from the leaves, seeds, and pods of the incredible Moringa tree, one of the most nutritional plants on the planet. The nutritional value found in the plant is not lost through heavy processing and refining, rather it is captured and all the nutrients and vitamins are completely bio-available in this convenient on-the-go nutrition that fits into your lifestyle.
Children will be faced with food choices at home and in the marketplace their entire lives, and choosing the pastry over the apple is probably going to happen every now and again, so in order to empower them with health, and empower them to become judicious consumers, you must give them the tools to make good food choices, and find foods and beverages, like NutriMor that both fit into their lifestyle, and are healthy.

Skin Nutrition
On November - 1 - 2009
The skin presents a particular problem for the environmental doctor because it is subject to influences from within the body and from the outside world. However, despite the complications of trying to link causation, the general principals of tackling skin problems are the same as for tackling many other health problems:
When trying to solve skin problems, one of the best places to start is with nutrition. Skin nutrition is especially important when it comes to micronutrient status. Skin, hair and nails are all made from the same material i.e. keratin. So a problem in the one department usually means problems elsewhere. Slow growth of hair and nails, or poor quality, or white flecks in the nails would point to a micronutrient problem. Often times it means your body has nutrient deficiencies, which can only be solved by adding more vitamins, minerals, and other vital nutrients into your daily consumption.
This can be done in several ways, the best of which are easy and convenient because it means that you will continue to do them and not have a reoccurring problem. So, one option is to be sure to purchase plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables are loaded with the important nutrients your body and skin need. However, if you buy them and don’t use them, they will do you very little good. Another option is to use a different source of these wonderful vitamins and minerals as well as other vital nutrients. This could mean supplementing them through pills, but that requires remembering to take them, and taking the right dosages etc. So probably the best option for skin nutrition and getting the nutrients needed is to get those nutrients in an easy and convenient form that will integrate well into your lifestyle. A great example of such a product would be NutriMor. It is a health beverage mix that is loaded with all sorts of vitamins, minerals, all eight essential amino acids, etc.
NutriMor is good for you because it is made from the Moringa oleifera plant, which is often referred to as the “Miracle Tree” because of its many healing and restorative properties. This plant is rich in nutrients that help the body function properly, and help those who are sick or anyone that needs a nutrient boost, which is everyone. While getting these nutrients directly from the plant itself is a great idea, it is not available in all areas, but NutirMor is all natural, and does not have all those added preservatives found in many health beverages and supplements. Rather it is made directly using the nutrient rich parts of the plant, and is formulated to retain the absorbability and bioavailablity you would get it you ate the plant directly. Thus, when you can’t eat the plant itself, try the handy alternative NutriMor.
Zinc is especially important to allow skin to heal quickly, and can often eliminate skin problems such as eczema. Moringa is rich in zinc, and the zinc found in this plant and the juice made from the NutriMor mix is more readily usable by the body than the zinc found in meat.
All eczema patients should take nutritional supplements, such as NutriMor, and also essential fatty acids (which can be found readily in evening primrose oil, or is also found in NutriMor, a product of Synergy Worldwide, and the Moringa oleifera plant).
