Default Medicinal Uses for Sunflower Seeds: - 04-04-2013, 05:03 AM

Hello Members,

Native Americans consumed sunflower seeds to improve eyesight and to treat constipation, worms, chest pains and ulcers. Modern-day nutritionists and scientists have identified that the nutritional and chemical properties of sunflower seeds provide medicinal benefits. Big Y states that raw sunflower seeds are healthier than roasted or salted seeds.

Adults should ingest approximately 4,700 mg of potassium per day and sunflower seeds are a good source of potassium. One cup of non-salted sunflower seeds has at least 1,300 mg and a mere 4 mg of sodium. Vegetables and fruit are also a good source of potassium. According to Oregon State University, potassium reduces the risk of stroke or kidney stones. Potassium also helps maintain ideal bone mineral density levels, which helps reduce the chance of osteoporosis; the nutrient also lowers blood pressure.


Thanks and Regards,
