Seeds - Energy For Life

Seeds may be tiny, but they're packed with nutrients like protein,
fiber, iron, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. They truly provide
energy bursting with life. Many people reach for a cup of coffee
or one of those so-called energy drinks when they feel tired. A
better true energy snack is a combination of flaxseeds and
honey.
Dr. Johanna Budwig helped cancer patients that were very weak
and in advanced stages of cancer by feeding them a mixture of
freshly ground flaxseeds and raw, pure honey, every two hours.
Dr. Budwig enrolled 600 patients from four big hospitals in
Munster (Germany) who were all suffering from various stages
of cancer into her program. She had outstanding results by
giving them ground up flaxseeds and honey as well as a
combination of flaxseed oil and Quark along with other selected
foods and therapies. Linseed (flaxseeds) has always been
capable of performing miracles. - Dr Johanna Budwig in her
book The Oil Protein Cookbook.

The Energy Seed Snack

Here is a variation of Dr. Budwigs recipe.
Grind up 2 tablespoons (British Dessert spoons) of flaxseed
(linseeds) as well as 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds in a coffee
grinder. Pour the ground up seeds into a small bowl and then
add 3 to 4 tablespoons of cold pressed coconut oil (which is also
anti-Candida) and 1 teaspoon of raw, unpasteurized honey. Mix

Why Are Seeds so Good for You?

What is a seed? Its actually the embryonic plant itself and a
true origin of nutrition. Indeed, a seed is life! It is truly a living
food. It is impossible to eat a raw seed and not derive excellent,
healthy nutrition. So, if youre looking for a high quality, nutritious
and filling snack, seeds are tough to beat. However, remember,
to obtain these amazing benefits the seeds must be consumed
raw. When exposed to heat, they produce toxic substances and
the vitamin, mineral and essential oil profiles are denatured and
you end up with dead food not living food. They can be
soaked, ground or mashed (i.e. tahini), especially if a seeds
shell or coat is too difficult to pierce with the teeth. Choose raw
and unsalted seeds Avoid coated or roasted seeds Avoid
sugar coated seeds. Read More: http://www.trueactivist.com/

1. CHIA SEEDS - offers 2 times more protein than kidney
beans, 3 times the antioxidant strength of blueberries, 3 times
more iron than spinach, 6 times more calcium than milk, 7 times
more vitamin C than oranges, 8 times more omega-3 than
salmon, 10 times more fiber than rice and 15 times more
magnesium than broccoli. It has been reported that consuming

magnesium than broccoli. It has been reported that consuming
on a regular basis chia seeds could help reduce joint pain, aid in
weight loss, deliver an energy boost and protect against serious
ailments such as diabetes and heart disease. The seeds are
gluten-free, which also makes them appealing to people with
celiac disease or an aversion to gluten. Consumption of chia
seeds may increase blood levels of the long chain omega-3 EPA
by 30%, says a new study from the Appalachian State University
and the University of North Carolina.
2. HEMP SEEDS this is a favorite of vegetarians as it contains
all 20 amino acids, including the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs)
our bodies cannot produce. They also contain a high protein
percentage of the simple proteins that strengthen immunity and
fend off toxins. Hemp seeds might just be Natures highest
botanical source of essential fatty acid, with more essential fatty
acid than flax or any other nut or seed oil. A perfect 3:1 ratio of
Omega-6 Linoleic Acid and Omega-3 Linolenic Acid - for
cardiovascular health and general strengthening of the immune
system.

3. FLAX SEEDS - The seeds mixture is excellent to take as a

dessert after a meal, as it suppresses rises in blood levels of
lipids after a meal and modulate the appetite. The University of
Copenhagen researchers report that flax fiber suppresses
appetite and helps support weight loss. Even Hippocrates wrote
about using flax for the relief of abdominal pains, and the French
Emperor Charlemagne favored flax seed so much that he
passed laws requiring its consumption, imagine that!
Dr. Budwig chose flaxseeds due to their rich content of AlphaLinolenic Acid (ALA), dietary fiber, and lignans. The essential
fatty acid ALA is a powerful anti-inflammatory, decreasing the

Emperor Charlemagne favored flax seed so much that he
passed laws requiring its consumption, imagine that!
Dr. Budwig chose flaxseeds due to their rich content of AlphaLinolenic Acid (ALA), dietary fiber, and lignans. The essential
fatty acid ALA is a powerful anti-inflammatory, decreasing the
production of agents that promote inflammation and lowering
blood levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a biomarker of
inflammation. Through the actions of the ALA and lignans, flax
has been shown to block tumor growth in animals and may help
reduce cancer risk in humans.
Lignans are phytoestrogens, plant compounds that have
estrogen-like effects and antioxidant properties, which is just
what you need in cases of breast and prostate cancers.
Phytoestrogens help to stabilize hormonal levels, reducing the
symptoms of PMS and menopause, and potentially reducing the
risk of developing breast and prostate cancer.
The fiber in flax seed promotes healthy bowel function, which
make it a very good choice if you suffer from constipation. One
tablespoon of whole flax seed contains as much fiber as half a
cup of cooked oat bran. Flaxs soluble fibers can lower blood
cholesterol levels, helping reduce the risk of heart attack and
stroke. Grind the seeds at home using a coffee grinder or
blender, and add them to cereals, baked goods and smoothies.
4. PUMPKIN SEEDS - (eat them as a snack or part of your meal
daily). They are the only seed that is alkaline-forming in this
world of highly acidic diets. Add pumpkin seeds to your list of
foods rich in protein. 100 grams of seeds on a daily basis
provide 54 percent of the daily requirement in terms of protein.
Many take vitamin and mineral pills. Better to consume
pumpkin seeds as they are a good source for vitamin B like
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6 and

can even help fight through depression. The chemical
component L-tryptophan is the secret ingredient to boost your
mood. Studies suggest that pumpkin seeds can also help
prevent certain kidney stone formations like calcium oxalate
kidney stone. Pumpkin seeds even hold the secret to fighting
parasites, especially tapeworms and has proven to be good
nutrition for the prostate.
5. SESAME SEEDS - are a very good source of manganese
and copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1,
zinc and dietary fiber. In addition, sesame seeds have been
shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to
prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in
animals.

6. SUNFLOWER SEEDS - Apparently solders in the trenches

survived for several weeks on sunflower seeds. You and your
family would do well to eat a handful of raw, unroasted and
unsalted daily. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of
vitamin E, the bodys primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Why is
Vitamin E so important? Vitamin E travels throughout the body
neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise damage fatcontaining structures and molecules, such as cell membranes,
brain cells, and cholesterol. These seeds are also a good source
of magnesium which helps reduce the severity of asthma, lower
high blood pressure, and prevent migraine headaches, as well
as reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

7. GRAPE SEEDS - When you eat grapes do not throw out the
seeds, but eat them along with the pulp fruit because these
seeds have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids,
linoleic acid and polyphenols. Grape seeds also may prevent
heart diseases such as high blood pressure and high
cholesterol. A study published in the journal Carcinogenesis
shows that grape seed extract (GSE) kills squamous cell
carcinoma cells, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
8. CUMIN SEEDS - Cumin is a seed that has been used for
many centuries for digestive disorders and even as an
antiseptic. The seeds themselves are rich in iron and help boost
the power of the liver. If you catch a cold, remember that cumin
can help relieve the symptoms. If you have a sore throat, try
adding some dry ginger to cumin water, to help soothe it. Cumin
juice makes for a great tonic as it will increase the heat in the
body thus making metabolism more efficient. It is also
considered to be a powerful kidney and liver herb, which can
help boost the immune system. Its also believed that black
cumin seeds can treat asthma and arthritis. Cumin is a herb that
many associate with Mexican and Spanish foods, but it is also
widely used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking. It has a very
distinct flavor. http://wellnessmama.com/5607/cumin-herb-profile
