Whoever coined the phrase “age is just a number” may have had Victor Manzano in mind.
At 94, he has the energy of a man half his age. What’s his secret? An active lifestyle. A good sense of humor. And a twice-daily dose of moringa.
Manzano credits the superfood for his vitality. Before breakfast, he drinks a cup of warm water with a teaspoon of organic moringa leaf powder and a squeeze of lemon. He also takes four moringa capsules every day two in the morning and two in the evening.
