Although a source of fat, sunflower seeds are \u2018good fat\u2019, and considered a super healthy food item. These health inducing seeds are cheap, available all year round and\u00a0extremely nutritious.<\/p>\n

Sunflower seeds have\u00a0high levels of\u00a0vitamin E, which is why they are very helpful in protecting the heart and the entire cardiovascular system from diseases and various other disorders.<\/p>\n

Vitamin E\u00a0is a\u00a0very strong \u00a0antioxidant,\u00a0which combats the presence of free radicals in the body, and so\u00a0reduces the risk of developing cancer, atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n

When the body is low in serotonin, depression, anxiety, tension and stress are common to develop. Serotonin is a type of neurotransmitter and it is processed by what is known as Tryptophan, an amino acid.\u00a0Sunflower seeds contain Tryptophan which produces serotonin\u00a0that relieves symptoms of depression, stress,\u00a0and so on\u2026<\/p>\n

Sunflower seeds\u00a0are also rich in magnesium,\u00a0which apart from treating conditions like spasms, and muscle contractions, also helps in lowering risk of hypertension, asthma and migraines.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, sunflower seeds\u00a0improve the whole digestive system due to their rich content\u00a0in dietary fiber that\u00a0prevents many kinds of\u00a0cancer,\u00a0including breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fiber\u00a0as you all know also treats\u00a0constipation, a common condition to everyone.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, how many calories are there in sunflower seeds?<\/p>\n

Two tablespoons of sunflower seeds contain 45 calories, and these calories come directly from fat\u2026 But as I said\u00a0before from\u00a0the good healthy fat.<\/p>\n

So do not worry, include one bowl of healthy sunflower seeds in your daily eating habits and benefit out of it.<\/p>\n
