Top 6 Seeds for Great Health Benefits

Seeds are known for health benefits but here are even of them, which will double the benefits of health upkeep if one takes them on regular basis and make them part of the daily food intake. While pomegranate tops the list, hemp to chia, every seed has something to offer to the body’s health. But which ones deliver health and body benefits is something that one needs to keep in mind before choosing the right one.

From beverages to bars, seeds are everywhere and here they are if you are looking for good nutrition values.

Here are top 6 seeds and their benefits:
* Pomegranate for slimming: Nature’s "sweet tarts", the juicy seed is a low-calorie winner. It’s packed with antioxidants and fat-burning vitamin C so go for it if you want to lose some weight.

* Chia for strong bones: Eat this earthy-tasting seed for its calcium. Two tablespoons offer as much as a slice of cheddar! Mix half a cup with two and a half cups of unsweetened almond milk, one tablespoon maple syrup and cinnamon to taste, and chill for a tapioca like pudding.

* Pumpkin for energy: This light and nutty pepita houses iron, a mineral that helps maintain high energy levels. Roast one cup of seeds with half a tablespoon each of paprika, chili powder and sea salt for an easy to-go snack.

* Sesame for a healthy heart: The rich seed contains linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that may help control harmful cholesterol. Toasting amplifies flavour and adds a nice crunch to salads.

* Flax for cancer prevention: Nutty flax has cancer-thwarting compounds called lignans and omega-3 fatty acids that reduce disease-causing inflammation.

* Wheat germ for digestion: A small part of a wheat kernel, this slightly sweet seed has inulin, a type of fibre that helps maintain good digestion.
