MORINGA ENDS VITAMIN A BLINDNESS
Vitamin A deficiency is a deadly problem for victims who experience it, causing an
avalanche of health issues including blindness, eye disease, weakened immune
system, an increase in anemia, as well as a whole clinical spectrum of other
diseases. Children and pregnant women are particularly prone to these crippling
conditions. One study, in the Jama Ophthalmology Journal, reports that half the
children worldwide who become blind, die within a year. Vitamin A deprived
women may also experience night blindness in their third trimester of pregnancy.
Hero Moringa to the rescue! It’s bursting with a variety of eye health vitamins
including ten times the vitamin A of carrots. It also has many other types of
beneficial nutrients for eyes like lutein, zeaxanthin, Iron, vitamin C, flavonoids,
omega oils for dry eyes, antioxidants, zinc, copper, and complete vitamin B
complex. Moringa also has histidine which will lessen allergies and eye itching.
According to the World Health Organization, vitamin A deficiency is a far-reaching
problem beyond blindness, and is even now referred to as “vitamin A deficiency
disorder,” because of the many serious problems that branch from it. These
include higher risk for common illnesses like measles and diarrheal disease.
Susceptibility to malaria has also recently been linked to lack of vitamin A.
Daily Moringa intake is an immediate vitamin A source that will provide not only
blindness prevention, but will also act curatively for the reversal of existing eye
diseases and conditions. Wide spread permanent availability of vitamin A will have
radical social implications for any population that receives the gift of Moringa, and
distributes it for the benefit of all.
