Health Benefits of Sunflower Seeds
1. Reduces Risk for Heart Disease
The high supply of antioxidant Vitamin E (80% of your daily recommended value in every ¼ cup of seeds) Vitamin E, also known as gamma-tocopherol, is a powerful antioxidant that is found in nuts and seeds including sunflower seeds (1).
Researchers now know that high levels of inflammation are correlated with an increased risk for heart disease, but also for stroke, cancer
Frequently consuming sunflowers seeds has been shown to help balance cholesterol levels, to reduce hypertension, to protect against heart disease- all which are possible once inflammation levels are under control.
Sunflower seeds are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds which lower oxidative stress and the presence of damaging free-radicals within the body. According to recent studies published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the amount of beneficial phytosterols present in nuts and seeds was highest in sunflower seeds than almost all other types. Phytosterols are responsible for keeping unhealthy cholesterol levels in check which is one of the best ways to guard against cardiovascular disease.
Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, meaning it must be consumed with fat in order to be absorbed to the body’s best ability; this makes it even more beneficial that sunflower seeds provide essential fatty acids in addition to Vitamin E.
Vitamin E antioxidants are found in cholesterol particles and help to prevent free radicals from dangerously oxidizing cholesterol (2). Cholesterol must first become oxidized before atherosclerosis can occur, which results in blocked arties and eventually can lead to cardiac arrest.
2. Helps to Prevent Cancer Due to High Antioxidant Content
Studies demonstrate that sunflower seeds are especially useful for preventing cancer through eating a high-nutrient diet. The important range of antioxidants, trace minerals, and other vitamins found in sunflower seeds help to reduce oxidative stress from taking place within the body, which when left uncontrolled contributes to the development of cancer.
Studies show that the nutrients found in sunflower seeds have chemo-preventive compounds that stall early phases of cancer development to help shut off tumor growth (3). The antioxidants found in sunflower seeds are utilized for DNA repair and work to slow the growth of mutated cancer cells. This makes consuming sunflower seeds an excellent way to prevent cancer and also to decrease the chance of reoccurrences taking place.
Gamma-tocopherol (Vitamin E) has been proven effective in studies at aiding in cancer prevention. Studies have demonstrated that Vitamin E protects men from prostate cancer and a new study conducted by the Texas Woman’s University suggests that it can also help to reduce the risk for lung cancer.
