Let's dive in a bit deeper!

• • Omega-3 fatty acids: are essential for many vital functions in the body and also supports heart health reducing risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease, promotes brain function and mental health, reduces the inflammation that contributes to a number of diseases and conditions like diabetes, arthritis, some cancers, supports eye health, aids pregnancy and early childhood development, supports skin health, weight management and joint health.

• • Protein: all NINE essential amino acids - we must get these through the foods we eat because our bodies can't make them. These little guys are the building blocks of the proteins that build and repair tissues, produce enzymes, and play crucial roles in nearly every biological process in the body i.e. they're 'essential' to us.

• Soluble and insoluble fibre: soluble fibre forms a gel-like substance in the gut that helps:
  • Slows digestion - helping to stablise blood sugar levels preventing those nasty rapid glucose spikes that you can come crashing down from mid-afternoons.
  • Slows absorption - allows the gut time to extract the nutrients like vitamins and minerals from food while ensuring a steady, prolonged release of the energy the food is supplying.
  • Regulates cholesterol levels - traps cholesterol and bile acids in the intestines preventing them from being reabsorbed into the blood stream (helps lower the 'bad' LDL cholesterol)
  • Promotes satiety - stay fuller for longer - the gel increases the volume of food in the gut helping you feel fuller for longer which can help reduce the urge to keep snacking or overeat.
  • Supports gut health - helps feed beneficial bacteria in the gut through a fermentation process that produces short-chain fatty acids. These play a key role in gut health by improving digestion and reducing inflammation.
  • Prevents constipation - no one likes to talk about this...but the food you consume has a direct impact on your bowel movements. The gel-like substance produced from the soluble fibre in Hemp Seed Hearts adds moisture and bulk to stools making them softer and easier to pass. This promotes regular bowel movements resulting in improved overall digestive health.
