COLD-PRESSED HEMP SEED OIL
Cold-pressed hemp seed oil is currently the most common variety on the market and the
best known and widely used. It is extracted from industrially grown hemp seeds
(Cannabis Sativa), by cold pressing the seeds to release the oil inside. It is
packed with nutrients and recognized as a powerful super-food worth adding to
everyone’s diet.
Hemp Seed Oil is recognized by the World Health Organization as a natural anti-oxidant
and is the only balanced (perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3) source of Essential
Fatty Acids. It is also a good source of Gamma-Linolenic Acid and contains a high content
of the enzyme lipase, which is a superior non-invasive chelation therapy for removing
plaque build-up from arteries and cell membrane. Hemp is also the only plant oil containing
Vitamin D, which is necessary for Calcium absorption, especially useful to vegans.
These are some of the benefits and uses of cold-pressed hemp seed oil:
Boosts immune system
Powerful anti-inflammatory; eases arthritic pain
Lowers high blood pressure
Promotes cardiovascular health
Supports healthy metabolism & cell growth
Improves brain function & focus; helps to reduce ADHD symptoms
Protects the brain against age-related memory loss & decline
Promotes healthy skin & hair
Helps to lower the risk of certain types of cancer
Because hemp oil supports healthy pH levels in the body, and combats
chronic inflammation, it helps to create an environment that discourages the growth of
cancer cells and thus makes a great supplement for the prevention of cancer and overall
health.
Hemp seeds are also a great source of vitamin E and minerals, such as phosphorus,
potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and zinc.
Interestingly, eating hemp seeds may reduce your risk of heart disease.
The seeds contain high amounts of the amino acid arginine, which produces nitric oxide
in your body.
Nitric oxide is a gas molecule that makes your blood vessels dilate and relax, leading to
lowered blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease.
The gamma-linolenic acid found in hemp seeds has also been linked to reduced
inflammation, which may decrease your risk of diseases like heart disease.
Hemp seeds may reduce symptoms associated with PMS and menopause, thanks to its
high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
They are very rich in healthy fats, high-quality protein and several minerals.
THERE’S MORE TO PUMPKIN THAN MEETS THE EYE
You may think of pumpkin as a festive fall decoration or the ingredient for the perfect
pie, but pumpkin has other uses. Pumpkin seed oil, for example, has certain health
benefits.
Pumpkin seed oil is said to help promote urinary health and heart health. It’s full of
vitamins and anti-inflammatory agencies, along with linoleic and oleic acid.
Here’s what you need to know about this fruit’s potential health benefits.
Traditionally, pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin seeds in general have been said
to boost mood and ward off depression.
You may know that saturated fats aren’t good for healthy hearts. But it can still be
confusing to know which fats are OK to eat. Pumpkin seed oil is actually an unsaturated
fat, meaning it’s the “good” kind of fat. Unsaturated fats like pumpkin seed oil can actually
promote a healthy heart.
Pumpkin seed oil, along with palmetto oil, has shown promising results as an alternative
therapy for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is a common condition where the
prostate becomes enlarged. This can be extremely painful and block the flow of urine.
In general, pumpkin seed oil seems to have a positive effect on the urinary tract. This
tract is made up of the kidneys, the bladder, and the urethra, which connects the bladder
to the urinary opening.
In one study, pumpkin seed oil was found to help relieve some of the symptoms of
menopause. This included a decrease in hot flashes, joint pain, and headaches. The
women taking pumpkin seed oil also had an increase in their HDL levels, which is the
“good” cholesterol.
THE BEST OF CHILLIES (CAPSAICIN)
Low in calories. Jalapenos are very filling and satisfy hunger without increasing the
calorie count.
One serving of jalapenos contains 66 percent of vitamin C. Vitamin C could stimulate the
immune system to produce white blood cells, which are the body’s first primary line of
defense against illness.
Chillies contain vitamin C to fight free radicals that can help prevent the mutation of
healthy cells into cancer cells.
Studies have suggested that chillies may provide pain relief for migraine headaches.
Capsaicin is known to inhibit a key neuropeptide, Substance P, which is the critical brain
pain transmitter.
Capsaicin is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It inhibits Substance P, which is associated
with inflammatory processes. Capsaicin could treat arthritis, psoriasis, and diabetic
neuropathy one day.
Chillies provide the brain the necessary amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Some
vitamins, including folate or folic acid, play a significant role in the regulation of specific
amino acids that the nervous system requires. Studies have shown that a deficient
amount of dietary folate can increase the homocysteine levels, which can be a dangerous
precursor to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Jalapenos are an excellent source of the B-vitamin complex, such as folate or folic acid.
Folate has shown to help in neural tube formation and red blood cell formation in prenatal
babies. A deficiency of folic acid in pregnant women can lead to the birth of underweight
infants and may also result in neural tube defects in newborns. One cup of jalapenos
contains 11 percent of the daily recommended value of folate.
