Antioxidants are compounds that help your body fight against free radicals that can cause aging in the body as well as a number of diseases by protecting the cells from damage. A single moringa tree contains a staggering amount of 46 natural antioxidants.
As everyone knows, free radicals are unstable elements that can damage the cells of the body, this, in turn, can cause age-related changes in the body as well as a host of different illnesses. With this, antioxidants are needed to help us combat against these free radicals since antioxidants neutralize and remove the free radicals from the body.
Since the body cannot produce enough antioxidants to fight against these free radicals, an external source is needed to help replenish and maintain the needed antioxidants level in the body.
Since moringa is full of antioxidants it can help the body remove these free radicals as well as prevent and treat over 300 diseases and health problems.

Inflammation is the natural response of the body against infections and injuries. It is an auto-immune response of the body, but if it continues for a long time, this may become a major health issue. Prolonged inflammations can lead to chronic problems such as respiratory problems, arthritis, joint pains, heart disease, diabetes as well as obesity.
Moringa reduces inflammation since it contains compounds such as isothiocyanates which can suppress inflammatory enzymes and proteins in the body which can help lower inflammations in the body.
