Morgellons - 5 superfood seeds to eat

Would you like to know which 5 superfood seeds to eat? Would you like to know some of their benefits?

(Remember, if you are trying any of these seeds for the first time, eat them in a small amount to determine how your body react to them.)

For detailed information, go to this website:
https://www.eatthis.com/healthiest-seeds-benefits/
(The author of this website consulted a registered dietician to confirm the information.)

#1 Flax Seed
Flax Seeds (1 cup) contains 2.7g net carbs.

"Flax seeds supply plant-based omega-3 fatty acids called alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA, which have been shown to protect against heart attack and stroke," says Sass. "The lignans in flax are tied to cancer protection, specifically breast and prostate cancers." "Flaxseeds are believed to contain up to 800 times more lignans than other foods. Additionally, Sass says that flax seeds are linked to reducing blood sugar, harmful cholesterol levels, and even blood pressure."

#2 Chia Seeds
Chia seeds have 7.6 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.
Chia seeds, like Flax seeds, reduce inflammation in the body.
Also, "Of the 12 grams of carbs in a one-ounce portion of chia seeds, a whopping 10 [grams] come from fiber—40 percent of the daily minimum target." And, they are rich in soluble fiber. This helps with digestion.

#3 Hemp Seeds
Hemp Seeds have 4.7 grams of net carbs per 100 grams
"Hemp seeds are rich in vitamin E and minerals, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, and zinc," says Sass. "They also provide essential fatty acids, which have been shown to help lower heart disease risk."

"Not only are hemp seeds a good source of healthful fat, but Sass also says that just three tablespoons lend 10 grams of protein."

For more information go to: https://natureclaim.com/nutrition/info/hemp-seed/

#4 Pumpkin Seeds
They are low-carb, containing only 8.2 grams of net carbs per one 100 gram serving.
"Pumpkin seeds are chock-full of minerals, namely magnesium, manganese, iron, and zinc."

"In addition, pumpkin seeds are packed with cell-protective antioxidants, including carotenoids and vitamin E, which reduce inflammation and help fend off premature aging," says Sass.

"Try coating a few pumpkin seeds in olive oil and sprinkle your favorite seasonings and roast them in the oven for a savory, crunchy midday snack." (Be sure that your body likes the seasonings before you try this.)

#5 Sunflower Seeds
Depending on the brand, raw sunflower seeds contain 11.4g of net carbs, per 100g serving.
"Sunflower seeds provide antioxidants known to fend off the free radical compounds that can attack healthy cells and lead to damage and premature aging," says Sass. "They also supply nearly 40 percent of the daily target for vitamin E, a powerful fat-soluble vitamin and antioxidant known to help reduce inflammation."

"Sass also notes that sunflower seeds pack one-third of the daily recommended intake of selenium, an essential mineral associated with repairing DNA in damaged cells, as well as destroying cells that have either become exhausted or dysfunctional through a process called apoptosis."

"Sunflower seeds are also very nutrient-dense, containing around 12 different essential vitamins and minerals."
"They are an excellent source of Vitamin E, with one serving containing around 50% of the RDI (*). Sunflower seeds also contain high amounts of Copper, Phosphorus, Selenium, and significant amounts of Zinc (*)." (Source: https://www.ketoaholics.com/sunflower-seeds/)

Morgellons - 5 superfood seeds to eat

Hello Everyone!

I’d love to share a wonderful shake I often have for lunch with some hemp seeds!!

1 Avocado, Medium to Large Chopped
2 Handfuls of Fresh Baby Spinach
2 Scoops of Renaissance Whey
3 Tbs Hemp Seeds
1 C. Unsweetened Coconut Milk, Reg or Vanilla
Add Stevia Drops (to your liking)

Other options to add:
1 Tbs Chia Seeds
1 Tbs Powered Cacao

Mix it up in your NutriBullet and it’s ready! If you’d like it to be thinner add a little more coconut milk, if you prefer it a bit thicker, then add more hemp seeds or one to two tablespoons of almond butter.

Also, if you decide to add chi seeds, it best to let it sit for 15 minutes before eating they can absorb the the milk. Very important and here’s why;

Soaking chia seeds releases additional “enzyme inhibitors” that nature has in place to protect the seed from sprouting prematurely. Without soaking when you eat them, the enzyme inhibitors also will bind to nutrients we need, potentially create nutritional deficiencies, and irritate your digestive system.

Well, that’s it! Please be sure to try them and let us know!
