The benefits of “sunflower love " seeds for body health

Many people spend their time cracking, spitting or gnawing seeds of the pulp of the “solar love” or sunflower, but some people do not realize that this entails incredible health benefits.

Experts pointed out in a report published on the Specialized Health website “Medical Daily” that sunflower pulp contains some health benefits ranging from supporting the immune system to protecting the heart to treating allergy symptoms. The report quoted Dr. Stephanie sassos, a specialized Therapeutic Nutritionist, that sunflower pulp is an ideal alternative to peanuts and other types of nuts to which some people are allergic.

The most notable benefits of eating sunflower pulp came:

1- Eye protection:

Sunflower seeds contain high levels of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and is important for eye health.

Studies show that it may support good vision by warding off eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.

And unsweetened organic sunflower butter can be tried on whole croutons with slices of fresh apple, banana or berries, for perfect benefits for the eye.

2-good for muscles:

You need a lot of protein to support and develop strong muscles, and sunflower seeds are a great source for building muscle.

Sunflower seeds contain 20% protein, one cup of sunflower seeds, once peeled, provides approximately 10 g of protein. Try adding it to smoothies with Greek yogurt, for example, to get a double protein content.

3. good for the heart:

Sunflower seeds are not only tasty, but also rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and these “good” fats are heart-friendly, because they can help lower harmful cholesterol levels in the blood, reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

4-good immunity:

A strong immune system is the key to maintaining good health in general, and sunflower seeds are a great supporter of immunity, thanks to their vitamin E content.

They also contain a little zinc and selenium, which are other friends of the immune system.

Sunflower seeds can be added to salads, jam mixes, or sprinkled on roasted vegetables for a crispy, protein-filled bite.

5- Weight loss:

Getting a lot of fiber and protein is an important step in losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, and sunflower seeds have large proportions of both. Both nutrients help to keep you full longer, and fiber promotes good digestion and helps regulate blood sugar, prompting it to quickly get rid of excess weight.
