High blood sugar is one of the leading causes of diabetes. Over time, it increases the risk of many health problems, such as heart disease.
To keep blood sugar levels in a healthy range, it is important to take Moringa Oleifera. There is some evidence that Moringa help to lower blood sugar levels.
A study in 30 women found that consuming 1.5 teaspoon (7 g) of Moringa leaf powder daily for 3 months reduced fasting blood glucose levels by an average of 13.5%.
In another small study in 6 people with diabetes, the addition of 50 grams of Moringa leaves along with a meal decreased the rise in blood glucose levels by 21%.
Moringa leaves powder is rich in antioxidants
- Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant found in moringa
- Chlorogenic acid in moringa
Above compounds can increase blood antioxidant levels, which help to reduce the risk of oxidative stress, a condition that lead to chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
