Covid 19 and Moringa

 Moringa oleifera is known as the drumstick tree. It is 

widely distributed across vIndia and is used locally to cure over 300 ailments. 

Moringa has many important vitamins and minerals. The leaves have 7 times more vitamin C than oranges and 15 times more potassium than bananas. It also has calcium, protein, iron, and amino acids, which help your body heal and build muscle.


It is also reported to have inhibitory actions against several viruses. The researchers in India extracted and analysed 19 phytochemicals from M. oleifera leaves using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). 

The researchers used computer modelling to see which of the phytochemicals identified from the drumstick plant might inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They found that several of the phytochemicals showed a high binding affinity with the virus and could act as virus inhibitors. The compound with the highest activity was apigenin-7-O-rutinoside and the team also found that several of the phytochemicals had antioxidant properties which would ameliorate the post-COVID secondary infection.


Researchers recommend using the seeds

of Moringa  for treating the people who ate isolated in

home and suspected that they are infected to take this seeds in

their natural meals; this will increase the immunity in their body

and protect them from getting worse.

It can become one of your lockdown solutions that makes you feel productive while making you fitter. Exercise has a couple of positive impacts on the immune system. According to a study , frequent physical activity can limit and delay ageing of the immune system. Other than the long-term effects, even a small amount of exercise can increase the production of natural killer cells in the body - these cells make up the immune system’s second line of defence. Exercising can also improve lymphatic drainage that can remove toxins and boost the body’s ability to fight off infections. Regular p...

Weight loss journey--2

  My 7 point mantra 1.Eat consciously. Eat whatever is going to give you energy and required nutrients. For eg- a pastry( 100 g) consumed is 500-600 cal ,made of all purpose flour( maida) and  icing made of refined sugar and cream,has hardly any nutritive value.To burn those calories you will have to run atleast 5 kilometers.So please think before you hog next time. 2.Eat home cooked food.I reduced  weight eating white rice ,so can you.You don't need to eat Quinoa to reduce weight!!! Our Indian diet doesn't make you fat ,its the junk ,the wrong eating habits topped up with  laziness thats makes you gain weight. 3.Eat seasonal  fruits grown in ur subcontinent. You need not eat exotic ,costly fruits. 4.Have a sustainable  diet plan.I do not believe in losing 10kg in 10 days kind of plan. Keto diet,protein supplements etc are short lived. Have a colorful and balance meal. 5.Walking is  the most sustainable exercise. Can be done anywhere ,anytime.Pe...
