Seeds are a ready-to-eat source of protein, fat and vitamins. Just a teaspoon of seeds added to a salad or sandwich - and the dish will become several times healthier and more nutritious.
Sesame
Sesame seed is a powerful antioxidant, as it contains the substance sesamin (from the word sesame - another name for sesame). Thanks to sesame, sesame is an excellent remedy for the prevention of cancer, liver and cardiovascular diseases. These seeds contain vitamins of groups A, B and C, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and many other trace elements we need. The greatest benefits from sesame seeds can be obtained by thoroughly chewing or soaking the seeds. With strong heat treatment, almost all vitamins and minerals are destroyed, so it is advisable to use it raw.
Flax seeds
The main advantage for which flax seeds are so fond is the large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids - omega-3 and omega-6. The content of these acids in flaxseed breaks all records, even surpassing many types of fish. Fatty acids are not produced in our body, but are vital for our brain and cardiovascular system. The high fiber content of the seeds helps in the functioning of our digestive system by removing toxins, toxins and bad cholesterol. Flax seeds are consumed raw, crushed, or in the form of infusions. They can be added to salads and baked goods, or taken separately, chewed thoroughly and washed down with plenty of water. It should be noted that the recommended daily allowance is no more than 25 g.
Sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds are a real boon for the beauty and health of our skin, hair and nervous system. They contain large amounts of vitamin E, vitamin B and a lot of magnesium. But be careful - there are about 550 calories in 100 g of these healthy grains, so you need to use them in very limited quantities. Even when fried, sunflower seeds retain a fairly large part of their nutrients, but, accordingly, when frying in oil, they will add calories.
Pumpkin seeds
Dry pumpkin seeds have a positive effect on the functioning of most body systems: cardiovascular, nervous, and digestive. In addition, pumpkin seeds are one of the most effective ways to get rid of parasites. The most useful option for their use is fresh, slightly dried in the sun.
