Hulled sesame seeds are almost white in color, but turn brown when roasted. Sesame seeds have many potential health benefits and have been used in folk medicine for thousands of years. It can protect against heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. A 30-gram serving of sesame seeds provides 12% of the RDI for fiber, which is vital to the health of your digestive system. Some studies suggest that regular consumption of sesame seeds can help reduce high cholesterol and triglycerides — which are risk factors for heart disease. Sesame consists of 15% saturated fat, 41% polyunsaturated fat and 39% monounsaturated fat. Sesame contains two types of plant compounds — lignans and phytosterols — that may have cholesterol-lowering effects. Sesame seeds provide 5 grams of protein per 30 gram serving. To increase protein availability, opt for shelled, toasted sesame seeds. The peeling and roasting processes reduce oxalates and phytates — compounds that interfere with protein digestion and absorption. It is significant that sesame seeds are low in lysine, an essential amino acid that is more abundant in animal products. However, vegans and vegetarians can make up for it by eating plant-based proteins high in lysine - especially legumes, such as beans. On the other hand, sesame seeds have a high content of methionine and cysteine, two amino acids that legumes do not provide in large quantities. Sesame seeds are high in magnesium, which can help lower blood pressure. In addition, the lignans, vitamin E and other antioxidants in sesame seeds can help prevent plaque build-up in your arteries, potentially maintaining healthy blood pressure. Sesame seeds, both whole and shelled, are rich in several nutrients that promote bone health, although calcium is mostly found in the shell. Sesame seeds can fight inflammation and are a good source of B complex vitamins. ____________________________________________________________ Video - The dark side of plant-based food: • The dark side of PLANT-BASED FOOD/#6/CARNIVOR... __________________________________________________________ Download a free, detailed list of foods for the LCHF diet: __________________________________________________________ You can support the work of this channel with donations: Giro account for Donations you can support the work of this channel : Giro account for donations (for Serbia): 265-0000004229524-05 PayPal donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/drboj...
