I’m Filipino American. Grow up in Philippines and almost every house in rural area or provinces have Moringa tree like a fence. I remember when my mom or sisters give birth, my mom cook chicken soup with lots of moringa leaves and papaya. Almost every vegetable recipe we cook has moringa leaves or moringa fruit.
@@sarahajohnson6134 the chicken soup. We cook it white slice chicken and moringa leaves green papaya or chayote and lots of ginger. It’s called TINOLA. With the moringa fruits we cook it pumpkin squash, okra , sting beans, eggplant and with fish sauce or Himalayan salt. Don’t put too much water. Let the juice of the vegetables be the soup. The moringa fruits is actually much better than the leaves and it’s really taste good. The only problem is it’s hard to find the fruits here in USA. Sometime you find some in Asian supermarkets.
Hey yagballs676, I too am Filipino American. My mom always grows this in our back yard and I recently found out the health benefits of eating it. It is so weird that my mother had always been growing this herb for a long time, but I'm now just finding out about this. 🤪
I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic with fasting glucoses in the range of 120-148 over the past few years. I had a fasting glucose of 118 (A1c of 6.1) a couple of months ago. Not too bad, but still pre-diabetic. I had a repeat, NONFASTING glucose one week after beginning two concentrated moringa capsules a day. My glucose was only 97. I was shocked to tell you the truth. It also dramatically lowered my blood pressure causing me to cut down on my BP meds. UPDATE: 5 more days and I have discontinued all BP medication. BP has been running under 120/75 consistently. No side effects. Can't wait until my next blood work to see if it has helped my cholesterol.
Moringa is the easiest tree to plant (if you live somewhere warm). Cut a branch then stick it in the ground, in a week you'll have leaves. We use it everyday for soups and salads in the Philippines. For smoothies, we put evaporated milk and ice shavings. It is indeed very healthy!
I take moringa everyday either in powder or fresh leaves in my vegetable dishes or in my porridge. I thank GOD for this health benefits and the abundance of this plant in our country.👍🙏🥰
I lived in Tx and our house is surrounded by moringa tree. I have been taking moringa leaves almost everyday as I’m pre diabetic. I just boiled the leaves and drink it.
My Dog lost it's milk after 2 weeks giving birth, she can't feed her puppies. I mixed rice and sardines with moringa leaves, in the morning her breast swell full of milk.
I put moringa in homemade twice fermented water kefir with chia seeds and blue green algae. I feel so much better when I include this combo in my nutrition.
One of the most common vegetables in the Philippines. Most homes, especially in the countryside, have at least a tree of this superfood. It's a lot cheaper and you can just ask a neighbor for some stems for your cooking.
Hi Dr. Erin, I am Lazare Asal from Vanuatu. Thanks for the educative video on moringa. It's of my interest that I made some research about moringa and your video has helped me discover more about the miracle tree. I love it and God bless you.
Thank you @lazareasal2027 for the comment! I appreciate it! Please feel free to share this content with more people for them also enjoy and learn. Also please check my other video about moringa here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3x4-d7-J_Mg.html
This sounds lovely!!!! Can anyone tell me where I get Moringa from? I'm 53yrs old. Piled on a lot of weight with the menapause. I'm asthmatic and just been diagnosed pre diabetic. I've watched all your videos as I feel you're the best on RU-vid for realistic advice. I have followed everything and so far have lost 2 stone. Yay. Thank you doctor for sharing your knowledge. You have helped me a great deal. I'm certainly going through it at the minute and I appreciate you saying you're holding my hand through it. That helps me very much to feel positive. Thank you 😊
You can purchase moringa powder or leaves at a health food store. If you buy the powder, ensure it is green powder. Some cheaper moringa has a brownish tinge to it. Which means it is not just pure ground moringa leaves. Something else is ground up with it. I've been taking a teaspoon of moringa powder mixed with a tablespoon of Nutracleanse and a little milk. I had high blood pressure...average readings around 140/88. I was on 6mg of coversyl a day. After one month of taking that moringa/nutracleanse concoction twice a day, my blood pressure now averages 117/77. It never goes higher than 122/80. My blood sugar doesn't spike as high as it used to, and if I get back to exercising regularly, I have a strong suspicion I'll be off my diabetes meds. I'm already off my blood pressure meds and my arthritis meds, as well as other anti-inflammatory meds for a bad shoulder that i had for about three years after a slip on the ice. I couldn't raise my right arm over my shoulder height. Now I have full range of motion of my right arm and shoulder, and the arthritis in my neck is all but gone, along with perfect blood pressure! I'm going to try the smoothie option, because the way I take it, it really tastes horrible, and the texture is like swallowing a mouthful of sand. Well worth it though, because of all the benefits!
I tried organic moringa powder just a week ago To be honest , I feel more energized and feel the change in my inner body , but I don't know about my blood sugar & blood pressure , because I haven't checked both . It is still worthy to try it , especially if you have BP & blood glucose measuring device . Also I have noticed always this doctor advice to be true , if doesn't work, that means it doesn't work for your body type .
You have to take it for Atleast 2-3 weeks to feel full effects. Don't stop taking it though. Continue for the rest of your life. It literally took away my depression too. Your gonna notice that it will help pretty much everything your going through mentally and physically.

I am a moringa grower and I have discovered some amazing things about moringa Not a doctor so don't give advice But I will say try it you won't regret it Except remember moringa is also a laxative
Thank you for the laxative part, I was wondering about that. I'll just incorporate it along with my morning coffee and kill two birds with one stone :)
Moringa is best to those nursing mom. Moringa is very popular in the Philippines, free to get in my background when I go back home… There are fresh leaves of moringa in Indian store, Chinatown, or Chinese market , Pinoy store have (fresh).
@@nefu16I wish I knew about this when I was lactating, the doctors only mention fennel Greek but it was difficult for my stomach. Thank you for sharing with us!
I got the Moringa Tea after I heard of it through one of your videos. I usually take it (1 tsp) in my Japanese Green Tea. It tastes pretty good, but I haven't noticed any drop in my blood glucose when I've had some.
Thank you very much Doctor. I like your contribution towards educating people about MORINGA. I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE FIVE MORINGA TREES HERE IN ORLANDO FLORIDA USA . I HAVE TO CUT THEM DOWN ONE BY ONE ABOUT TWO MONTHS APART. SO AS I CAN REACH THEM. I ALSO USE THE GREEN FRUITS IN MY COOKING AND ALSO USE TREE RIPE DRIED FRUITS SEEDS TO GRIND INTO POWDER JUST LIKE LEAVES. Seeds grow very easily. I have plenty seeds. If anyone wants it, it's free of cost. they just need to send me the payed envelope with there address. Remember it is a Tropical Climate tree unless you give a similar temperature in your house.
Thanks so much, Doc! Your videos, topic, and info are so timely and spot on. Got my bag of moringa, just have to be more consistent in taking it everyday. 👍
I had been drinking my own version of this moringa smoothie. Instead of milk, I had used greek yogurt. Recently got a health checkup done and both my heart rate and blood pressure were low but personally it wasn’t that big of a deal.

I came across your channel few days ago only, I find it really helpful for all health conscious people. Thanks for providing such amazing content. Just curious whether someone can have moringa powder daily if not, then how long someone can consume moringa powder?
Don’t equate fruit/vegetables sugar with refined sugar. Banana contains lots of sugar but also high dietary fibre & potassium and other vital vitamins. And Moringa loaded with vitamin’s, minerals & anti oxidants. It fixes the inflammations in the body that is the main reasons for auto immune disease such as diabetes.
I live in a place with a lot of Filipinos who are very healthy and eat Moringa in many meals. I asked them if they eat it raw in smoothies but they all say they only eat it cooked. Never eat it uncooked. Dr. do you know why?
@dianar9556 , it is because Filipinos are used to include moringa in cooking, thats the fresh moringa leaves, but if it’s powder you can make it a smoothie. Moringa has been part of Filipino households eversince and i love it with tinola/chicken soup or any mixed filipino veggies.

Thanks for tips on how to take this. With just water tastes terrible. Moringa is an ayurvedic medicinal plant and I believe it also works between meals.
Hi i am.from South Africa we have lots of muringa trees in Durban we pick from the trees cook and eet every second day you cant get fresher than that 😂😅
And yes I got my moringa seeds from the Philippines my uncle brought me 7seeds 20years ago a total blessing ,it never lets me down,soup tea veg and hair wash,
I this is really good but I need more time to make sure, my leg doesn’t hurt much when I walk, had cerebral stroke months ago still recovering my ride side was paralyzed, I believe there’s some side effects like the feeling of catching a cold, but I still drink medicine plus insulin shots

Thanx !! very informative....Absolutely it has medical values but start very little n gradually increase the amount ,otherwise it will lead to diarrhea/cramps. Also flex seeds must be roasted then grinded will be much beneficial.

If mornings will really “destroy “diabetes,then why aren’t the rest of endocrinologists,prescribe or tell the patients about it.Instead they prescribe drugs like metformin or other diabetic drugs!

Great to know moringa is of great help to those who’re suffering from diabetes. I don’t have a moringa tree in my back yard as it’s too cold where I live. So where can I buy moringa leaves/powder ?
