to ingest a well-rounded course<br />

of nutrients, without having to<br />

purchase many different supplements<br />

contained in capsules and tinctures.<br />

SKIN RELIEF<br />

<strong>Hemp</strong> seeds contain antioxidants,<br />

that penetrate deep into the skin<br />

to relieve inflammation, dryness<br />

and redness. <strong>Hemp</strong> seed oil can be<br />

found in many popular skincare and<br />

haircare products, that spur healthy<br />

cell growth. <strong>Hemp</strong> oils frequently<br />

appear as ingredients in eczema<br />

treatments, moisturizers and can<br />

be applied to help prevent acne.<br />

<strong>Hemp</strong> seeds encourage a quicker<br />

recovery from superficial wounds<br />

as the superfood does its best to<br />

supplement natural skin and cell<br />

regeneration.<br />

NON-PSYCHOACTIVE<br />

Before moving any further, it’s<br />

necessary to squash the rumor, that<br />

ingesting hemp seeds will make you<br />

feel high. You can rest assured this<br />

is not the case. While it’s true, that<br />

hemp is a genetic of the cannabis<br />

sativa plant, it contains negligible<br />

levels of THC. You will never have<br />

to worry about getting hit with<br />

a major stone half an hour after<br />

sprinkling some hemp seeds on your<br />

lunch. Years of stringent regulations<br />

have made consumers feel, that<br />

anything associated with cannabis is<br />

bad and unhealthy when in reality,<br />

the opposite is true!<br />

COOKING WITH HEMP SEEDS<br />

Surprisingly, hemp seeds aren’t<br />

actually seeds at all – they’re nuts.<br />

21<br />

Once you taste them, it will all make<br />

sense. The beauty of this product is,<br />

that it can be infused into so many<br />

different types of food and beverage.<br />

If you’re short on time, you can<br />

easily sprinkle hemp seeds over hot<br />

dishes and salads. At the same time,<br />

you can blend them into smoothies<br />

and shakes to add an all-natural<br />

protein supplement to your regular<br />

routine.<br />

Anywhere you’d put chia seeds, you<br />

can easily sub in hemp.<br />

Since hemp seeds are hunger<br />

suppressants, they naturally<br />

facilitate weight loss. Eating them<br />

as a snack in the form of a energy<br />

bar is a great way to get good fats<br />

and protein on the go, without<br />

having to craft an entire meal. This<br />

is especially useful for those with<br />

busy jobs who eat their lunch with<br />

one hand and type with the other.<br />

HOW AMAZING IS HEMP?!<br />

It isn’t outrageous to deem hemp<br />

a miracle plant. In addition<br />

to containing game-changing<br />

cannabinoids like THC and CBD,<br />

as well as aromatic terpenes, hemp<br />

also provides a well rounded course<br />

of nutritional benefits, that inspires<br />

real impacts on human emotional<br />

and physical health.<br />

<strong>Hemp</strong> is healthy! Nutritional value<br />

of hemp seeds cannot be overstated,<br />

as they feature a complex profile<br />

of proteins, fats, vitamins and<br />

minerals, that reduce and prevent<br />

life threatening diseases.
