Moringa leaf strengthen­s immunity: SLMNA

-

The Sri Lanka Medical Nutrition Associatio­n (SLMNA) has stated that moringa with all its nutrients will increase the immunity of the people to fight any virus.

SAJ Associates Managing Director J a y a m p a t hy Arambepola states in a media release “This is a valuable statement by SLMNA and this helped me to obtain some very high potential inquiries from the UK,

Hong Kong and Canada and confident that they will turn to gold. In fact, UK has”.

Talking further about his product, he said “My absolute dream or the vision is to take my range of SAJ Moringa products which are now USDA and EU organic certified to each and every dining table. The health benefits of moringa are so good that we cannot miss it with your daily food.” He continued that worldwide moringa is a “superfood and we must make it happen in Sri Lanka as it will improve the health quality with more nutrition, strengthen­ing immunity of our people with minimum cost and also help our farmer incomes who grow it.”

Although the humble ‘murunga’ (moringa) is taken for granted as a common dish in our dayto- day lives in Sri Lanka, few realize that moringa leaf related products are identified as a ‘super food’ worldwide.

The health benefits are wide and unique as it helps control of diabetes, cholestero­l and blood pressure among many others. It also boosts stamina with energy and strength, improves immunity and protects the skin keeping it youthful and shinning, the release stated.

Packed with vitamins, nutrients, proteins and amino acids, it is also a super anti- oxidant with many anti- aging properties.

“We are now happy to introduce the scientific­ally-processed moringa leaves, with no loss to nutrients,” Mr. Arambepola said, adding that “all these organic certified products could be bought easily online on www.Daraz.lk and at selected outlets and pharmacies of Arpico, Keells supermarke­ts and others”.
