Do we really consider or know that seeds could provide innumerable benefits to our health also?
When taking an apple, do we discard the seeds? I would advise keeping that seed and chewing it instead.
Apple seeds contain a substance known as Vitamin B17. This contains four molecules, two of which are cyanide.
Before you gasp in horror, please hear me out.This cyanide quality has been shown to be non toxic to normal cells.
A further discovery highlights that the cyanide is in effect toxic to cancerous cells, a natural chemotherapy perhaps?
Seeds contain Vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, fibre and various other qualities dependent on type of seed.
Chia seeds have been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels, promote heart health and provide rich amounts of omega 3 fatty acids.
Flax seeds provide rich sources of essential fatty acids which reduce inflammation and contain lignans, these have been linked to being protective against cancers, in particular of the breast.
To get even richer qualities from seeds, you can soak them overnight in filtered water, a process known as sprouting.
Sprouting has been proven to increase the amount of nutrients which are bioavailable.
Seeds are life, life giving.
Including them in your daily diet has protective and enhancing effects upon your health.
