This healthy green powder can enhance your daily nutrition
In the world of natural wellness, one green powder is quietly stealing the spotlight which is known as the 'miracle tree'. Derived from its nutrient-rich leaves, this specific powder is now being hailed globally for its wide range of health benefits. Whether added to soups, smoothies, or salads, just a spoonful a day can do wonders. This magical power highly deserves a place in your daily routine. The Importance of The Miracle Tree Here we are talking about Moringa powder which is made from the dried leaves of the Moringa oleifera tree. Its leaves are packed with vitamins A, C, and E, minerals like calcium and potassium, and an impressive dose of plant protein. This makes it a powerful supplement for supporting overall health, especially for those who are extremely cautious in terms of diet. Shield of Antioxidants Moringa is rich in antioxidants such as quercetin and chlorogenic acid. These compounds neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, slowing the aging process and lowering the risk of diseases linked to oxidative stress, like cancer and heart conditions. Best Ally In Terms Of Immunity With its potent mix of vitamin C and other immune-boosting compounds, moringa powder helps strengthen the body's defense system. Regular consumption supports quicker healing, better resistance to infections, and overall vitality. Balancing Blood Sugar Levels Various studies have shown that moringa can help stabilise blood sugar levels. It may reduce post-meal glucose spikes and improve insulin sensitivity, making it a useful natural aid for managing diabetes. Soothing Inflammation Inflammation is at the root of many chronic illnesses. Moringa contains isothiocyanates, a natural anti-inflammatory agent that helps reduce swelling, pain, and internal irritation without side effects. Its fiber content acts as a supplement that prevents constipation and encourages a healthy gut. It also promotes liver health, supporting detoxification processes. Beauty from Within Regular use of moringa powder is likely to improve skin clarity and texture. Its nutrients help fight acne, delay wrinkles, and promote healthy hair growth by nourishing from the inside out. Moringa: The New Factor For Healthy Lifestyle Moringa is not just a following trend, it's a return to something older and wiser. A daily spoonful of this green powder may not promise miracles, but it offers balance, strength, and subtle healing.

Abu Dhabi uses drones to disperse over 6.5 million seeds across nature reserves
The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has completed a large-scale seed dispersal project using custom-designed drones, spreading more than 6.5 million seeds across 320 hectares of nature reserves. The move is part of efforts to restore natural habitats and support the emirate's climate strategy, Abu Dhabi Media Office reported. 'We successfully implemented one of the largest drone-based seeding operations ever undertaken in Abu Dhabi, within a notably short timeframe. This achievement is in line with Abu Dhabi's Climate Change Strategy and covered a total of 320 hectares of habitat, many of which were seeded for the first time,' said Ahmed Al Hashmi, Executive Director of the Terrestrial and Marine Biodiversity Sector at EAD. The project, done with UK-based restoration company Dendra, used custom-made drones to plant seeds in remote areas, allowing work to be finished faster and without disturbing fragile land. Native plants like Samar (Vachellia tortilis), Moringa (Moringa peregrina), and Desert Cotton (Aerva javanica) were seeded in Jebel Hafit's mountain slopes. In Qasr Al Sarab's sand dunes, seeds included Fire Bush (Calligonum polygonoides) and Rimth (Haloxylon salicornicum). The agency's team, including young Emirati talent, studied soil and vegetation before seeding to match each area with suitable native species. This ensures better chances for the seeds to grow and thrive. EAD will monitor the seeded areas using AI-powered sensors to track plant growth. The project builds on the agency's earlier rangeland studies launched in 2024 to help improve land management across Abu Dhabi.

AlUla Showcases Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Vision at Jardins, Jardin Opening in Paris - Middle East Business News and Information
The ancient oasis city of AlUla, located in north western Saudi Arabia, makes its debut today at Jardins, Jardin, Paris's prestigious annual gardening event targeting a high end discerning segment. The luxury heritage destination will showcase its remarkable landscapes and rich cultural heritage to the important and growing French market through an immersive installation, the AlUla Oasis Garden, designed by acclaimed landscape architect Pierre Alexandre Risser. Launched in partnership with The French Agency for the Development of AlUla (AFALULA), the AlUla Oasis Garden challenges perceptions and reveals the unexpected natural abundance of Saudi Arabia's ancient oasis city. The installation authentically recreates the destination's distinctive natural environment that is synonymous with towering palms, fragrant citrus trees, figs, pomegranates, and native plant species. Offering an additional glimpse into AlUla's rich cultural landscape, an exhibition of works by renowned photographer Gilles Bensimon, set within a purpose-built pavilion, will provide visitors with compelling visual narratives of AlUla's dramatic landscapes and archaeological treasures. AlUla is a thriving oasis where over 4 million date palms, 77,000 Moringa trees, and 29 citrus fruit varieties flourish, nourished by 80 natural springs. In addition, the destination's commitment to environmental stewardship is evidenced by the dedication of over 50% of its territory to protected areas, comprising Sharaan national park along with five nature reserves. This conservation approach aligns with AlUla's careful development of luxury accommodations, including the five-star Our Habitas and Banyan Tree AlUla resorts, ideally located in the secluded Ashar Valley, the history-inspired The Chedi Hegra near Saudi's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Dar Tantora The House Hotel, nestled within the labyrinthine streets of AlUla Old Town. Luxury travel specialist Angèle, founded by Nora Gherras and bringing 30 years of Middle East expertise, will be present throughout the event. Angèle offers unparalleled insight into the region, crafting bespoke experiences from hot air balloon adventures over sandstone canyons to refined Bedouin-style stargazing and luxury safaris in the Sharaan National Park. AlUla, which is renowned for its 200,000 years of human history, including 7,000 years of successive civilisations, most notably represented by the ancient Nabatean city of Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO Heritage Site, is readily accessible via AlUla International Airport, which welcomes private jets and offers direct connections through carriers including Saudia, Qatar Airways, FlyDubai, and Air France (code share services on Saudia) making this revitalising destination readily accessible from major global cities. About AlUla: Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned. The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 52-hectare ancient city, Hegra was the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and is comprised of 111 well-preserved tombs, many with elaborate facades cut out of the sandstone outcrops surrounding the walled urban settlement. Current research also suggests Hegra was the most southern outpost of the Roman Empire after the Roman's conquered the Nabataeans in 106 CE. In addition to Hegra, AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages, which has been recently listed on the UNESCO's memory of the World Register. Also AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes developed from at least the 12th century, which has been selected as one of the World's Best Tourism Villages in 2022 by the UNWTO. Additionally, AlUla Old Railway and Hegra Fort, which are key sites in the story and conquests of Lawrence of Arabia.
