Hemp is an amazing crop. It has thousands of uses including clothing, rope, fuel, oil, building products, paper products, feed and most importantly it is a highly nutritious food.
Every part of the hemp plant is used, from root to seed. If properly valued, grown, cared for and processed, hemp could solve many of earth’s problems from saving our tree population to feeding the hungry.
In North America, hemp is primarily used for food. Nutritionally, it is so nutrient dense and allergenic free, that everyone should be eating it. The following are reasons why:
Hemp Builds Muscle: Hemp protein powder is almost 50% protein and it is very easy to digest. It is non-allergenic and can be used by all. A protein shake made with hemp protein helps muscle recovery after a workout.
Hemp Keeps Your Heart Healthy: Hemp has the ideal 3:1 balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. These Essential Fatty Acids are fats are essential to life and cannot be made by the body. They promote heart, brain, eye, and nervous system health; they reduce inflammation; they support the immune system, the brain, skin and hair; and also promote optimal fat metabolism.
Hemp Supports The Immune System: Hemp is the highest plant source of globulin edestin, a simple protein that helps form enzymes, antibodies, and many hormones.
Hemp Reduces Sugar Cravings and Provides More Energy: Hemp is a complete protein. Eating protein with carbohydrates helps slow down sugar absorption which provides you with more balance energy, rather than sugar highs and lows which keep you going back for more sugar.
Hemp Is Easy To Digest: The live enzymes in Hemp help you digest and get the most nutrients out of your food. Hemp does not contain gluten and has no enzyme inhibitors that prevent protein absorption and cause digestion problems.
Hemp Has Lots of Fibre: The fibre in hemp seeds gently cleanses the intestines which help reduce intestinal toxins. Cleaner intestines allow for better absorption of nutrients like amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
Hemp Has Chlorophyll: Hemp is the only dense protein that has a chlorophyll count. This helps your body get into an alkaline state that keeps you healthy and energized. Gorillas are among the largest, most muscular animals in the animal kingdom and they are vegetarians. They eat large amounts of chlorophyll and fibre that helps keep their bodies clean and alkaline and their muscles growing.
Look for organic hemp seed and hemp protein powder in your local health food store or the organic section of your local grocery store.
