1. Health benefits of hemp seeds

Below are the outstanding health benefits of hemp seeds that have been scientifically proven."

- Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease

Eating hemp seeds may reduce your risk of heart disease because they contain high amounts of the amino acid arginine, which produces nitric oxide in your body.

Nitric oxide is a gas molecule that causes your blood vessels to dilate and relax, leading to lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of heart disease.

Additionally, the gamma-linolenic acid found in hemp seeds has also been linked to reduced inflammation, which may reduce the risk of diseases such as heart disease.

In particular, animal studies have shown that hemp seeds or hemp seed oil can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of blood clots, and help the heart recover after a heart attack.

- Protect the brain

According to research, compounds in hemp seeds may have neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects and may also help regulate the immune system.

Reviews suggest that, due to these potential properties, this seed may help treat neurological conditions, including:

+ Parkinson's disease

+ Alzheimer's disease

+ Multiple sclerosis

+ Neuropathic pain

+ Convulsive disorders in children

- Good for the digestive system

Whole hemp seeds are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, containing 20% ​​and 80% respectively.

Soluble fiber forms a gel-like substance in your intestines. It is a valuable source of nutrients for beneficial digestive bacteria and can also reduce blood sugar spikes and regulate cholesterol levels.

Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and can help food and waste pass through your intestines. This fiber has also been linked to a reduced risk of diabetes.

However, shelled or shelled hemp seeds — also known as hemp cores — contain very little fiber because the fiber-rich shell has been removed.

- Improve skin condition

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and acne can both be the result of chronic inflammation. The anti-inflammatory compounds in hemp seeds may help relieve these conditions.

Furthermore, acne can also be caused by a diet lacking omega-3. The high omega-3 content in hemp seeds may help control and reduce acne symptoms.

Additionally, fiber in plants can also be beneficial for people with atopic dermatitis, and whole hemp seeds are high in fiber.

- Good for people with rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition. This condition causes the immune system to attack its own tissues, leading to arthritis.

In 2014, research conducted on human cells showed that hemp seed oil may have anti-rheumatic effects but more research is needed.

- Reduce premenstrual and menopausal symptoms

Premenstrual syndrome in women is very common, the cause is believed to be due to sensitivity to the hormone prolactin. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) found in hemp seeds, produces prostaglandin E1, which reduces the effects of prolactin. From there, it can reduce premenstrual symptoms such as breast pain, discomfort, depression,...

Because hemp seeds are high in GLA, some studies have shown that they may also help reduce menopausal symptoms.

- Reduce stress and migraines

Hemp seeds are rich in magnesium, amino acids and vitamins that act as natural stress relievers. They also contain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids which help reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Hemp seeds are also high in CBD, which has been shown to be helpful in treating migraines, depression, and anxiety.
