Adding a mixture of seeds in these dishes does not change the technology of their preparation, and only improves the quality of the food and increases their nutritional value.
Flax seeds contain protein of high biological activity, composition of which, is close to ideal for the human body.
The most important components of flax seeds` fiber are indispensible highest fatty acids: Omega-3 (34.84%); Omega-6 (19.21%); Omega-9 (22.82%). The content of Omega-3 and Omega-6 in flax seeds is superior to all other conventional foods of the human diet. Omega-6 can be found in other products, but Omega-3, sufficiently only contained in the fish oil and flaxseed. Flax seeds have Omega-3 2 times more than fish oil does. This is especially importante for women after 45 years. Also flax seeds contain vitamins: D, E, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B9, tocopherols, beta-carotene, minerals, and macro minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, chromium , selenium, aluminum, nickel, iodine, boron, and zinc.
Thanks to the unique natural properties of flax seed, it is recommended to use:
- in atherosclerosis; for prevention and auxiliary treatment of cardiovascular diseases;
- to reduce the likelihood of blood clots;
- diabetes mellitus (omega-3 improves the action of insulin and protects the body from the emergence and development of diabetes. This not only improves the perception of insulin, but also reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood);
- liver diseases to improve the functioning of the liver;
- and for the prevention of diseases of the thyroid gland;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- for lowering blood pressure and maintenance of the human immune system;
- to improve skin and hair;
- to facilitate the taking out of the toxic substances from the body;
- as a bracing agent;
- as a means of having a strong antiparasitic properties.
Poppy seeds are used as an anthelmintic and as a product favorably affect the absorption and digestion of food.
Sunflower seeds are rich in natural polyunsaturated fatty acids, thus are an excellent means for the prevention of atherosclerosis, heart attack and other diseases of the cardiovascular system. They improve immunity, protect against premature aging, normalize intestinal function, cardiovascular and nervous systems, improve the condition of skin, hair and nails, strengthens bone tissue and speed up the recovery of damaged bones, are useful in diseases of the liver, helps with depression and stress.
Sesame seeds are widely used in eastern medicine. They are recommended to be used as a supplement to the diet for the normalization of the gastrointestinal tract, as an additional source of plant protein, to reduce blood sugar levels, to reduce the likelihood of blood clots, to accelerate blood clotting, liver diseases, musculoskeletal, nervous, hematopoietic systems, with high level of cholesterol in the blood, anemia, internal bleeding, with hyperthyroidism, with venous congestion.
Fiber, contained in the mixture of seeds, promotes a better digestion and normalizes intestinal microflora. It is useful for people suffering from overweight and obesity for the normalization and correction of weight. Getting into the gastrointestinal tract, fiber absorbs everything that has accumulated in our gut for many years. And there is a lot of accumulated: the average person because of layers on the walls of the large intestine, its diameter narrows 2-3 times. These layers (fecal stones, pus, mucus, etc.) are absorbed and removed from the body by fiber. Cleansing the body from toxic substances, fiber removes nitrates which entered the body with fruits and vegetables.
If you like to eat excessively – do not forget to add to your food fiber: its digestion requires more energy than usual. On average, you will lose 150 calories a day, not applying to this absolutely no effort. Exactly as we lose during 20-minute jog.
Pectin contained in the plant fiber, called “a medicine against the harmful effects of the city”. Pectin reduces cholesterol in the body, contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes, improves peripheral circulation and peristalsis. However, their most valuable property is that they have the ability to clean alive organisms from harmful substances. And this natural “cleaner” works very effectively, without leaving any “garbage” and thus not disrupting bacterial balance. Pectins remove toxic metal ions, pesticides and radionuclides. Therefore pectins are used as a prophylactic means in a harmful environment saturated with heavy metals, radioactive substances and nitrates.
In the process of digestion pectin turns into acid, which combines with heavy metals and radionuclides, resulting in formation of insoluble salts, which are not absorbed by the mucous of the GI tract and under the influence of fiber, rapidly removes from the body.
Neither pectin nor cellulose can be digested in the stomach, both do not turn into fat deposits, but clean, absorb and excrete everything unnecessary and harmful. It takes 2-3 months to cleanse the body by receiving fiber.
