🌿 Immune Boosting Properties of Rosemary, Hemp Seeds and Pumpkin Seeds 👇
Eating seeds is a great way to boost your intake of essential nutrients such as healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and protein. Seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, providing a whole spectrum of nutrients in a very small package – so they’re the ideal addition to meals, drinks and to snack on throughout the day to optimise your nutrition 🍃
Did you know that eating seeds is a great way to boost your immune system and strengthen your body’s natural defence mechanisms? Rosemary and pumpkin seeds are great examples of this amazing health benefit 💪
Let’s take a look:
🌿 Rosemary Herb – Rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds which protect the body from damage at a cellular level. Provides a good source of Vitamins A, B6 and C which are crucial to immune function. What’s more, rosemary is a great source of dietary fibre which, you guessed it, helps to bolster the immune system!
🎃 Pumpkin Seeds – These are high in zinc, magnesium and Omega-3 fatty acids, all of which are essential for normal immune function as well as overall health. Like rosemary seeds, they’re also high in immune-friendly antioxidants and fibre.
🌱 Hemp Seeds – Provide a beneficial balance of essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6, which is important for the immune system. The ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 in hemp seeds is 3:1, which is considered the optimal range of fatty acids and has been shown to empower immune response.
