“While it’s likely that there may be more going on with depression than just inflammation by itself, it could be an incredibly useful lens through which to look at promising avenues to potentially treat or prevent it, since controlling systemic inflammation shows promise as being both important for longevity and health in general.”

“Moringa is a tropical plant that exerts a wide range of beneficial health effects. A growing body of evidence indicates that moringin, an isothiocyanate compound derived from moringa, may help prevent or even treat a variety of chronic health conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and autism. In this clip, Dr. Jed Fahey discusses the beneficial health effects of moringa.”
