Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E. Sunflower seeds have high amounts of phytosterols – compounds found in plants which are believed to reduce blood levels of cholesterol, enhance the immune system and decrease the risk of certain cancers.
Health Benefits
- High in antioxidant vitamin E. Vitamin E travels throughout the body neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise damage cell structures. By protecting these cellular components, vitamin E has significant anti-inflammatory effects that result in the reduction of symptoms in arthritis.
- Improves metabolic function. These seeds have high amounts of magnesium – a necessary mineral for healthy bones and energy production.
