THE TOP 5 HEALTHIEST SEEDS
1. Hemp Seeds: Containing 10 essential amino acids, hemp seeds are
composed of over 30% pure protein, making them an excellent daily
protein source. They are also composed of 40% fiber, the highest amount
of any grain on earth! Also containing disease-fighting phytosterols,
studies show that hemp seeds or even hemp milk, support heart health
and can provide nutritional support against many unpleasant disease.
2. Sunflower Seeds: The perfect phytochemical-rich seed for those
of us looking to lose weight, as they promote healthy digestion and
increase fiber intake. Sunflower seeds are also extremely rich in folate,
a very important nutrient for women. They are packed full of good fats,
antioxidant-rich Vitamin E, selenium and copper, all crucial elements in
supporting heart health and balancing troublesome cellular damage.
3. Sesame seeds: Sesame seeds are very high in calcium, magnesium,
zinc, fiber, iron, B1 and phosphorus, sesame seeds are unique in their
chemical structure. Possessing important cholesterol-fighting fibers
known as lignans, studies show that these seeds can lower blood pressure,
as well as protect the liver from damage. Sesame seeds also may
help prevent many health problems, including PMS.
4. Pumpkin Seeds: Some scientific studies have shown that the components
of pumpkin seeds may stop the triggering of cancerous behavior
in male prostate cells. Pumpkin seeds are high in a form of antioxidant
known as carotenoids, a special plant derivative that enhances immune
activity and disease fighting capacities. These seeds are also high in
omega-3 fatty acids and zinc, two important nutrients that may play
a role in supporting skeletal health. Finally, pumpkin seed are high in
phytosterols, plant components that aid in keeping stable levels of
cholesterol and enhanced immune response.
5. Chia seeds: Extremely tiny, yet extremely potent, these small seeds
are packed full of fiber, protein, nutrient oils, various antioxidants and
even calcium. Studies show that chia seeds stabilize the blood sugar,
promote heart health, as well as increase weight loss. These amazing
little seeds are an excellent source of high-quality fats, as they are made

GARDEN TIPS FOR JULY
• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have
bloomed out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, petunia
and portulaca so you'll have color until frost. Don't let seedlings
dry out.
• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue black
spot and insect treatments. Water 2" once per week.
• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom
production.
• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them.
• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle,
coreopsis, lantana, oleanders and hamelia.
• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings.
• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of about 2
- 3" per week forces plant roots to grow down, instead of sideways
into sunbaked upper soil levels. Use a bowl in your yard to measure
during waterings.
