Also the VX variant has got ‘follow me home light’ and electric head lamp leveling device. At its heart is a 75 bhp, mDI CRDe 4 cylinder diesel engine with 220 Nm of torque which gives it a top speed of 120 kph. Steering is adjustable to provide the most comfortable driving position while the 4+1 seating configuration is luxurious with a premium feel to it.

 The Genio DC VX offers features that give the passengers a feel of an MPV or an SUV.

The ride quality has also been improved to make the ride enjoyable for the occupants. The base variant on the other hand does not get features like key less entry and the ‘follow me home lights’. Both variants get a cargo bay 1500 mm long, 1600 mm wide and 500 mm  deep. This makes the Genio DC ideal for outdoors. The vehicle can occupy five in comfort and the loading bay would swallow the weekend luggage with space to spare.

Moringa - The Drumstick Tree has so much in it to give us......... have a look

  Moringa locally known - Drumstick Tree.

It has 13 different species namely:

M. oleifera, M. arborea

M. borziana, M. concanensis

M. drouhardii,M. hildebrandtii

M. longituba, M. ovalifolia

M. peregrina, M. pygmaea

M. rivae, M. ruspoliana

M. stenopetala.

Nutritional Value:

  

Not only that, but Moringa leaves also contain a wealth of other complementary vitamins and minerals.

Another important point is that Moringa leaves contain all of the essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. It is very rare for a vegetable to contain all of these amino acids. And Moringa contains these amino acids in a good proportion, so that they are very useful to our bodies. These leaves could be a great boon to people who do not get protein from meat.

It is noteworthy that Moringa contains argenine and histidine, which are especially important for infants who are unable to make enough protein for their growth requirements. Experts tell us that 30% of children in sub-Saharan Africa are protein deficient. Moringa could be an extremely valuable food source

These graphs show the content of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium in fresh Moringa leaves and dried leaves, compared to common foods. Except for vitamin C, very little nutritional value is lost in the drying process. This is important because dried leaves can be stored for use much longer than fresh leaves, so that a supply is available year-round.

Here are the comparisons for iron, potassium, and protein in fresh Moringa leaves and dried leaves. Once again, we see how drying the leaves condenses the nutrients, so that a large dose of nutrition can be gained from a small spoonful of dried leaf powder.

We are all well familiar with the problems of malnutrition in our world, and how much suffering and death result. Here are the countries with the highest rates of malnutrition. The amazing thing about Moringa is that . . .

  [Advance forward]

  . . . it grows in almost exactly the same places. These are the countries where Moringa grows—exactly where it is needed the most.

Not only are the leaves highly nutritious, but every single part of the Moringa tree has been used for beneficial purposes. Here again is the list of all the many specific uses people have found for Moringa.

Moringa holds tremendous potential for serving the world in several ways . . .

They include: improvement of Human Health; use as a Livestock Fodder supplement; use as a Plant Growth Enhancer; and for production of Biogas.

One of the main uses of Moringa leaves is for their nutritional benefits in human health.

The moringa plants then grow as a field crop, and can be harvested frequently. This technique produces a large amount of usable green matter from a relatively small amount of space.

  Both Foidl and Reyes also experimented with Moringa and milk cows.

 Foidl supplemented with 15 to 17 kilograms of fresh Moringa leaves daily, and the cattle’s milk production increased by 43 percent.

 Reyes supplemented his milk cows’ feed with 2 kg dry matter of Moringa per day, and milk production increased by 58 percent. Then he supplemented with 3 kg dry matter per day, and milk production increased by 65 percent.

  Imagine what would be possible if milk production in developing countries could be increased in this way. It could prevent untold suffering of people with protein deficiency.

Foidl and his associates have also experimented with producing biogas (methane) from Moringa green matter.

These and other uses of Moringa leaves show great potential for benefitting people—especially those who suffer from poverty and malnutrition. Further scientific studies are needed to examine these uses and their benefits, and to determine the techniques that will produce the greatest benefits.

  We would suggest studies in these four areas: human nutrition and medicinal uses, livestock fodder, crop enhancement with the plant growth spray, and production of biogas.

  The information just presented comes from the research of only a few scientists. Now these tests need to be replicated by many more people around the world.

People can help this process in three ways: 1) Share this information with key decision-makers in your country. 2) Promote field studies and clinical studies in your country. And 3) Share your findings with the rest of the world.

It’s time that we seriously consider the possibilities of Moringa. The simple act of sharing this information with others could help save millions of lives.
