Hemp hearts have recently taken center stage in the health food world because of their incredible nutritional profile. Their omega-3<\/a> and protein content is comparable to flaxseeds and chia seeds and much like chia seeds, they can form a gel-like substance when mixed with liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: Although hemp seeds come from the Cannabis sativa <\/em>plant, you will not experience a mind-altering effect after eating them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hemp hearts are the edible insides of hemp seeds. <\/strong>They are rich sources of soluble and insoluble fiber, calcium, iron<\/a>, and vitamins A<\/a>, B1, B2, D, and E.\u00a0Don’t think that we forgot about the omega-3 fatty acid and protein content in hemp hearts! The omega-3s work to repair muscles and joints<\/a>, and the protein is easily absorbed and used by the body. The protein is also hypoallergenic, making it a great replacement of soy and peanuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The complete protein and fatty acids in hemp hearts work to encourage cellular development and recovery. The fatty acids help carry oxygen to cells throughout the entire body.<\/strong> When cells are sufficiently oxygenated, they have a better chance of fighting off fungi, bacteria, and viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a study that was published in Food Chemistry, <\/em>hemp seed extract contains powerful antioxidant effects, which may be attributed to the cannabidiol (CBD) content. Many studies have concluded that CBD has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties<\/strong>. The antioxidants from hemp seed extract may benefit those with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson\u2019s disease, or Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The complex carbohydrates<\/a> that work to balance blood sugar levels, in addition to the protein and calories, in hemp hearts help to energize you for a long time<\/a>. People commonly reach for sugary foods like processed energy bars with saturated fats to fuel them between meals. Hemp hearts don\u2019t have unnecessary fillers; rather, they increase energy levels without the aid of caffeine or sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Magnesium has been known to reduce muscle cramps and headaches<\/strong>. Because you can lose magnesium via sweat (common among athletes), it is beneficial to eat magnesium-rich foods<\/a>. If you frequently exercise, add some hemp hearts to your post-workout smoothies to prevent cramps. Hemp hearts also help to repair bodily tissues, due to the manganese, zinc, and iron content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consuming too many omega-6 fatty acids and too few omega-3s in can contribute to inflammation<\/a>. Hemp seeds, however, have an incredible balance of omega-3s and omega-6s. <\/strong>The omega-6 known as GLA works to decrease inflammation<\/a>, and may even help relieve symptoms of eczema, atopic dermatitis, and acne. GLA has even been referred to as an anti-inflammatory massager!<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Are Hemp Hearts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
