ChiltanPure Sesame Powder Benefits

Lower Cholesterol and Triglycerides:

Sesame seeds consist of 15% saturated fat, 41polyunsaturated fat, and 39% monounsaturated fat. Sesame seeds may help reduce heart disease risk factors, including elevated triglyceride and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels.

Source of Plant Protein:

Sesame seeds — particularly hulled ones — are a good source of protein, which is a necessary building block for your body.

Help Lower Blood Pressure:

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Sesame seeds are high in magnesium, which may help lower blood pressure. Additionally, their antioxidants may help prevent plaque buildup.

Support Healthy Bones:

Unhulled sesame seeds are especially rich in nutrients vital to bone health, including calcium. Soaking, roasting, or sprouting sesame seeds can improve absorption of these minerals.

Reduce Inflammation:

Long-term, low-level inflammation may play a role in many chronic conditions, including obesity and cancer, as well as heart and kidney disease. Preliminary research suggests that sesame seeds and their oil may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Good Source of B Vitamins:

Sesame seeds are a good source of certain B vitamins, which are distributed both in the hull and seed. Sesame seeds are a good source of thiamine, niacin, and vitamin B6, which are necessary for proper cellular function and metabolism.

Aid Blood Cell Formation:

Sesame seeds supply iron, copper, and vitamin B6, which are needed for blood cell formation and function.

Aid Blood Sugar Control:

Sesame seeds may aid blood sugar control because they’re low in carbs and high in quality protein and healthy fats. Moreover, they contain a plant compound that may help in this regard.

Rich in Antioxidants:

Plant compounds and vitamin E in sesame seeds function as antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress in your body.

Support Your Immune System:

Sesame seeds are a good source of several nutrients that are important for immune system function, including zinc, selenium, copper, iron, vitamin B6, and vitamin E.

Soothe Arthritic Knee Pain:

Sesamin, a compound in sesame seeds, may help reduce joint pain and support mobility in arthritis of the knee.

Support Thyroid Health:

Sesame seeds are good sources of nutrients — such as selenium, iron, copper, zinc, and vitamin B6 — that support thyroid health.

Aid Hormone Balance During Menopause:

Phytoestrogens are compounds found in sesame seeds that may benefit women who are undergoing menopause.
