Understanding Malnutrition
Protruding bones and skinny physique are the best description of a malnourished person. At times, malnourished children have bulging stomach too. With just one look, it is very easy to determine that they are not healthy at all. Why does malnutrition occur? Malnutrition is a condition that arises when the body does not receive the proper amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that it most needs. Once the body does not get the nutrients that it needs, it will be hard for it to maintain healthy tissues and functioning organs. There are two things that can cause malnutrition-- undernourishment and over nourishment.
In today's world, the most common cause of malnutrition is undernourishment. This can be attributed to the poverty that all countries are currently experiencing. In order to combat malnutrition, there is a need to find a nutritional supplement that is not only cost-effective but if possible, with no cost.
Moringa For Malnutrition
There are some studies and published data stating the use of Moringa in combating malnutrition. Because of its high nutritional content and easy accessibility, experts believe that this might just be the answer against the malnutrition issues. Here are some facts about Moringa that can support this theory.
According to some of the studies done, Moringa contains high nutritional content-- higher vitamin A content than carrots, higher calcium as compared to milk, higher vitamin C content than oranges, higher Iron content against spinach and its potassium content is almost twice as that of bananas. It is also said to have significant amounts of protein, a substance that every malnourished person needs.
