2. Prevent diabetes
Morinda citrifolia in Tahiti has a good preventive effect on relieving the symptoms of diabetes (especially type II diabetes).
A well-functioning immune system can usually command all kinds of cells to carry out various immune activities. The function of these cells is to identify, destroy and destroy pathogenic bacteria that invade the human body.
If the autoimmune system is dysfunctional, the defense cells of the immune system will mistakenly destroy healthy and normal cells in the body.
Therefore, for patients with type II diabetes who can't reduce their blood sugar to normal, Morinda citrifolia can really help B cells to repair and secrete a large amount of insulin with biological activity, which can reduce blood sugar and convert it into energy, so that blood sugar can be reduced to normal.
Improve sleep
Pineal gland cells are rich in 5- hydroxytryptamine, which is converted into melatonin by special enzymes.
It was found that the secretion of melatonin was limited by light. Melatonin secretion decreased under strong light and increased under dark light.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which can affect and interfere with many nerve activities of the human body, such as sleep and awakening, emotional intelligence and so on.
