THE HEALTHIEST SEEDS AND HOW THEY HELP
Seeds are the beginning of life for a plant – that’s why they are extremely nutritious and have been shown to guard against many degenerative diseases. They’re a great alternative if you have nut allergies, and actually contain more minerals and protein than most nuts.
Which should you be eating and why? (Remember to hit SAVE so you can refer back to our handy list):
🔸Sunflower: Our hair is made from protein, and sunflower seeds are excellent for complete and easily digested protein. They also contain Vitamin E that has been found to increase blood supply to the scalp, resulting in longer hair.
🔸Pumpkin: With excellent levels of easily absorbed zinc, pumpkin seeds can help to boost fertility in men and women. Zinc performs a critical role in the development of s***m and in the entire reproductive system of women.
🔸Chia: A rich, natural source of plant Omega-3 fats that have been shown consistently in studies to help heart health, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease.
🔸Black sesame: These small but mighty seeds contain melanin, the natural pigment that can reverse graying (and also help protect against UV rays). Their powerful antioxidants can help counteract oxidative stress, a major cause of gray hair.
🔸Flax: High levels of lignans - gentle plant hormones in flax - have been shown to improve symptoms of hormonal imbalance including PMS, breakouts, and hot flashes. Try 1tbsp ground flax daily.
🔸Hemp: The Omega-6 fat gamma linoleic acid (GLA) in h**p seeds encourages skin cells to regenerate, whilst improving moisture in the skin.
