Kill The Winter Chill With The Power Of Til, AKA Sesame Seeds

Despite their small size, sesame seeds are a good source of several nutrients. Sesame seeds are abundant in vitamin B6, vitamin E, copper, iron, zinc, selenium, and selenium. These nutrients are necessary for the immune system to function correctly.

Inflammation and pain are frequent during the winter. Most people, especially the elderly, suffer from joint, back, and knee discomfort, which worsens as winter gets colder. Sesame seeds contain sesamol, a bioactive substance. Sesamol prevents the formation of molecules that cause inflammation.

Winter we tend to crave for something sweet. While high in protein and good fats, sesame seeds are low in carbohydrates. All of these help to regulate blood sugar. These seeds also contain pinoresinol, a substance that may help control blood sugar by blocking the activity of the digestive enzyme maltase.

Constipation is a typical intestinal problem that gets worse in the winter. Therefore, if you experience it, sesame's unsaturated fatty acid and fibre levels can help. Sesame seeds provide a lot of fibre. As a result, they aid in better digestion, easier bowel movements, and the treatment of constipation.

Winter makes everyone drowsy and low on energy. You may accuse the cosy blanket or the sudden dip in the climatic temperatures, but feeling sluggish during these months are prevalent. Sesame seed raises energy levels even in the winter and provides warmth because it is nutrient-dense and contains a lot of omega-3 fats.
