Sesame Seeds
Eating the tiny Sesame Seeds could help keep your body in top form by bringing down cholesterol and boosting blood levels of heart cell protective anti-oxidants.
In a study, postmenopausal women who took 50 grams (a little more than 3 tbsps) of these sesame powder daily for five days reduced their total and bad (LDL) cholesterol. The women also had lower levels of substances linked to lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress (both of which causes cell damage) and higher levels of heart-protective Vitamin-E. Buy some tahini paste (made from sesame seeds) from a store and make some hummus a healthy treat.
