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.

Kids Plus Lugaw = FUN!

Team Acosta in partnership with Davao Group of Youth Community Organization (DGYCO) visited Wangan Elementary School in Calinan of this City last July 13, 2015. The teams went to Calinan to serve the healthy and delicious Moringa Lugaw to the school kids. 

The school kids went rushing to the Lugaw station excited to get a taste of the hot porridge in the morning. The theme for the activity is "Juan Balik Eskwela: Kahalagahan ng Edukasyon Isulong" encouraging the kids to value education and make the most out of it.

DGYCO is an organization that caters people and groups who are rarely reached by various services.
