Here are some benefits Moringa can give your body:

It's nutrient-packed.

Moringa is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It contains significant amounts of vitamins A, C, and E; calcium; potassium; and protein.

It protects the cardiovascular system.

Moringa leaf powder has heart-healthy benefits, particularly in blood lipid control, the prevention of plaque formation in the arteries, and reduced cholesterol levels.

It protects the liver.

Moringa contains high concentrations of polyphenols in its leaves and flowers that protect the liver against oxidation, toxicity, and damage.

In addressing the safety and security of the students, Councilor Mabel Sunga Acosta established a partnership with HEDCOR Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Power, which supports education as one of its corporate social responsibilities. HEDCOR Inc. sponsored the construction of a concrete perimeter fence at Mintal Central Elementary School worth 2.785 million peso to effectively prevent the students from going to or through the conveyance canal at the back of the school, which poses danger to students. The request was approved on November 18, 2014 and the construction of the perimeter fence started on June 29, 2015.
