 10 Reasons Black Seed is Essential for Your Health The Prophet Muhammad reportedly said that the seeds of the black cumin plant (commonly known as black seed) could "cure everything but death". Cure is a strong word, but he may have been onto something. Nearly every day, some new study comes out touting the benefits of black cumin seeds. Originally from Egypt, black cumin grows in a tiny pod that requires soaking before the tiny seeds can be released. Upon consumption, the body benefits from a powerful substance called crystalline nigellone as well as over a hundred different compounds. Take a look at this amazing list to read more about the benefits of Black Seed. (Conveniently, Black Seed is October's Product of the month!) 1. Asthma Research suggests that taking black seed extract by mouth improves coughing, wheezing and lung function in people with asthma. 2. Infection Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College found that Black Seed oil inhibited the growth of 67% of the antibacterial-resistant “super bugs” they tested.

 Food of the Month: Spirulina Spirulina is an algae with an intense blue green color that has been eaten for centuries due to its potent nutritional value and health benefits. Spirulina contains potassium, niacin, magnesium, B vitamins, and iron. In addition to being loaded with protein, Spirulina has a flock of amino acids like Omegas 3, 6, and 9 and also has 26 times the calcium of milk. Early evidence suggests it can even bind to radioactive isotopes and heavy metals and help draw them out of the body. The best ways to consume Spirulina are in either capsule or powder form, which is usually combined with other healthy foods into a smoothie-ready mix (like, say, our Vegan Greens Powder Mix :-) To consume spirulina on its own, we recommend you purchase it in its raw, organic form. |
