Leaves, as well as all other part of the Moringa tree are edible and they form traditional diets in any countries. Because of its high nutritive value, every part of the tree is suitable for either nutritive or commercial purposes. The leaves are found to be rich in minerals, vitamins and other essential phytochemicals that can be used to treat malnutrition, control blood glucose and prevent anemia. This review explores the use of moringa leaves across disciplines for its medicinal values and deals with its supplemental effect on blood glucose, malnutrition and anemia.

Understanding the nutritional status of children has far reaching implications for the better development of future generations. The present study was undertaken to assess the nutritional status of 90 school going boys by assessing their general information, anthropometric measurements, clinical and dietary assessment. Dietary assessment was done by 24 hour dietary recall method for three consecutive days. Anthropometric measurements were used to construct indices for malnutrition that were compared to reference values. The results of the study revealed that majority of the subjects (77.0 percent) belonged to Hindu religion, MIG and were vegetarian (70.0-81.11%). Height and weight of the subjects were found to be 98.60 101.51 percent and...
