Turns out, good things really do come in small packages. In this case, the package is a seed, and the good things are disease prevention, weight management, energy boosters, and heart health. Scroll down to see which seeds possess which super food powers.
1. Slim down with pomegranate seeds. They’re brimming with antioxidants and fat-burning vitamin C. Looking for a fun way to eat them? Use them in pace of jelly on a pb&j!
2. Get strong bones with chia seeds. We already know chia seeds have several health benefits, but it’s worth focusing on their calcium content. Two tablespoons has as much as a slice of cheddar cheese. Plus, chia pudding is everything.
3. Boost your energy with pumpkin seeds. They are a good source of iron, which is key to high energy levels. They’re a healthy and delicious fall snack!
4. Get a healthy heart with sesame seeds. They may be small, but they pack linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that may help control harmful cholesterol. Toast them for maximum flavor.
5. Prevent cancer with flax seeds. They reduce disease-causing inflammation. Healthy tip: substitute three parts ground flax seed for one part butter in baked goods.
Great suggestions! All good on the skin too 🙂 Thank you!
