Bombshell Superfood: Hemp Seeds

Hemp is no longer just for hippies and stoners.  The seeds of the hemp plant are tiny little wonders that contain enough minerals, protein and necessary nutrients to pack a powerful beauty boost. Hemp seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids, as well as the perfect ratio (1 to 3) of essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6. While they won't get you high (there are only minuscule amount of THC in the seeds) here is what this Sexy SuperFood can do for you:

  • Helps burn excess fat
  • Illuminates skin from within, giving you a gorgeous glow
  • Strengthens hair, nails, and skin
  • Fights acne and wrinkles due to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties
  • Supports immune health
  • Balances hormones
  • Protects from the sun
  • Helps reverse gray hair and male pattern baldness thanks to its high mineral content
Hemp seeds make an excellent salad topper, and can also be added to smoothies or sprinkled on oatmeal.  With all these benefits, pour them on!
