Benefits Of Black Sesame Seeds:

1. Anti-ageing properties:

The Chinese think that certain age-related negative effects can be delayed or reversed thanks to the minerals in black sesame seeds. According to a 2010 Harvard University study, black sesame seeds are high in vitamin B and iron, and most people who are iron- or vitamin B-deficient exhibit symptoms including hearing loss, memory loss, and graying of the hair, all of which are signs of aging.

2. Relief for constipation and indigestion:

The high fiber and unsaturated fatty acid content of black sesame seeds, according to Dr. Amol Ghosh of the N.R.S. Hospital in Kolkata, can aid in the treatment of constipation. While the fiber in the seed aids in easy bowel movements, the oil in the seed can lubricate your intestines. Additionally, these seeds enhance digestion and aid in the removal of intestinal worms. Making the seeds more digestible can be accomplished by grinding or soaking them over night.

3. Stabilises your blood pressure:

Magnesium is abundant in black sesame seeds, which helps to lower blood pressure. Sesame oil's sesamin component and polyunsaturated fats are both renowned for regulating blood pressure.

 4. For healthier bones:

Dr. Gargi Sharma, a nutritionist at the Aayna Clinic in Delhi, explains that osteoporosis is a condition of brittle bones with a higher risk of fracture. After the age of 35, bone mass begins to decline, and women lose bone more quickly after menopause. Black sesame seeds are rich in calcium and zinc, which help keep your bones healthy.
