Universal Nutrition Source
So-called Marijuana, Cannabis, or simply hemp is often spoken of as the most versatile plant under the sun, and one of the many reasons are its beneficial effects on the human body. Despite years of propaganda portraying medicinal hemp as merely a harmful narcotic, many individuals consciously focusing on their health and well-being are now turning to this plant. And it's no wonder - marijuana seeds are one of the most nutritionally complete and healthiest foods you can find on this planet.
Hemp seeds contain a balanced ratio of Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids, all 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own - thus a quality protein source, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin D, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
"And it's no wonder - marijuana seeds are one of the most nutritionally complete foods you can find on this planet."
Moreover, hemp seeds are completely legal, and if you're worried about being put in an altered state of consciousness, you can stay calm. What you can expect, however, are the following health benefits:
1. Hormones (GLA)
In the 1980s, prostaglandins were discovered - a group of hormones responsible for the proper functioning of many body processes, especially regarding the muscular system - prostaglandins are able to reduce muscle contractions, suppress inflammation, and control body temperature.
GLA, or Gamma-linolenic acid, which is part of marijuana seeds, is an indispensable building block of prostaglandins, and scientists believe that proper supplementation of this substance is essential for hormonal balance.
2. Arthritis and Rheumatism
Medicinal hemp as help for rheumatism has already been discussed in our article "Medicinal Hemp and Rheumatoid Arthritis", where it proved to be a very beneficial alternative to commonly prescribed painkillers. In the case of arthritis, linolenic acid in seeds was shown to be a very potential substance in a study published in the Journal of Arthritis and Rheumatism. A 6-month test showed a 25% reduction in rheumatism symptoms, while patients given a placebo showed relief of only 4%.
3. Diet and Weight Loss
Hemp is also known as a tool to suppress appetite - it helps with a longer-lasting feeling of fullness and reduces sweet cravings. To suppress excessive cravings throughout the day, nutrition experts recommend adding about 4 teaspoons of hemp seeds to breakfast.
4. Digestion
Marijuana seeds are also rich in soluble and insoluble fiber, making them an excellent helper for maintaining a healthy digestive system. An added benefit is that fiber feeds the healthy bacteria in your digestive tract, which among other things leads to strengthening the immune system.

5. Hair, Nail, and Skin Health
The oil in hemp seeds can penetrate deeper layers of the skin and has a very positive effect on dry, reddened, or peeling skin. It is very often a part of (often more expensive) cosmetics such as soaps, lip balms, or facial waters. As the oil reaches deeper skin layers, it supports the healthy growth of new cells that create the basis for healthy and fresh skin.
Since hemp seed oil is also effective for conditions like eczema, it is recommended to consume at least a teaspoon of seeds daily along with using a cream that you can make at home - using a combination of hemp oil, shea butter, and an essential oil like lavender.
6. Cancer
As we mentioned in our previous article "Cancer", hemp can be an excellent aid in treating many types of cancer. In the case of seeds containing a balanced ratio of Omega-3/Omega-6 fatty acids, help is also at hand in the area of reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system.
7. Healthy Heart
The key to a healthy and strong heart is proper nutrition, with key ingredients all contained in marijuana seeds - fiber, plant protein, healthy fats, and minimization of refined sugars.
