10. Boost Breast Milk Production
It’s difficult for mothers in emerging economies to find formula milk for their babies. In the first year, infants are dependent on their mothers for nutrition. These communities are often economically depressed and lack a varied diet.
It is because of this that many newborns suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The mothers’ breast milk production is reduced due to a diet that is primarily carbohydrates, with very little protein, vitamins and minerals.
The moringa leaf makes a great addition to the diets of new mothers. Moringa leaves are crushed by mothers and toasted with butter. This is an important part of postpartum health care. The high amounts of micronutrients and nutrients in the moringa leaves increase lactation.
Moringa also contains a lot of calcium. This is a vital nutrient for a healthy skeletal structure and bone density. Calcium increases milk production, cell communication and cell regeneration, providing babies with the nutrition they require to grow.
