Sunflower Seeds Nutrition is Very High
If you are looking for a healthy snack, you can’t beat sunflower seeds.

Nutrition is present in vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and many other ingredients that can benefit a number of human diseases and conditions. In fact, sunflowers contain over eighty different nutrients.

One component of sunflower seeds nutrition is the presence of vitamin E.

One serving of sunflower seeds (¼ cup) contains 90.5% of the recommended intake of vitamin E. This vitamin is a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralizes free radicals that can cause damage at the cellular level. This cell-protective quality reduces inflammation, which in turn can reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and asthma.

Studies show that vitamin E reduces the risk of acquiring colon cancer.( boleh kurangkan risiko kemandulan ye...)

Another important benefit of vitamin E is its importance in preventing cardiovascular disease. Part of the damage done by free radicals occurs as a result of the oxidation of cholesterol. This enables it to stick to the walls of blood vessels and cause atherosclerosis, the precursor to blocked arteries--one of the leading causes of heart attack and stroke

You really can’t go wrong by adding sunflower seeds to your diet. One ounce has 160 calories with 6 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of protein, and 4 grams of protein. The only problem might be their 13 grams of fat, but you can work this comfortably into your daily diet with just a little planning. The fats are the good kind, containing linoleic acid, an omega 3 fatty acid with anti-oxidant power. Sunflower seeds also make you feel full which will reduce your intake of other foods and aid in weight control.
