Secondly, hemp seeds, nuts, oil and protein powder are almost a perfect food. Hemp contains many minerals and vitamins and the nuts are 78% essential fatty acids, which make them a much better source if omega fats than fish-based sources. I was gratified to see that the medical world is starting to take note of this fantastic food.
The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry published an article in which scientists from the University of Seville, Spain, tested the possible benefits of hemp. The following beneficial substances were found:
• Sterols. Steroid alcohols that help to lower cholesterol and lower the risk of heart attack.
• A-linolenic acid. An omega-3 fatty acid that has been shown to prevent coronary heart disease.
• Phytol. One of the alcohols contained in the oil sample, has been associated with anticancer benefits and is found in raw vegetables.
• Tocopherol. An antioxidant that can help prevent Alzheimer’s. Hempseed oil has also been shown to benefit dermotological disorders and is high in vitamin A, C, E, and beta-carotene, and rich in phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, and calcium.
Hemp nuts are not only tasty, especially on salads, but also are a wonderful source of minerals, vitamins and omega fatty acids. The oil should be used in its raw state.
