]]> When it comes to healthy, nutritional eating, two food types that often get brought up a lot are that of nuts and seeds. But why exactly is that? What do they provide from a nutritional standpoint? Here are a handful of amazing health benefits you can look forward to when it comes to nuts and seeds.

Enhanced Mood

Nuts and seeds are known to have a positive impact on your mood. The antioxidants and healthy fatty acids they contain contribute to a sense of calm and relaxation in your body. They also aid in breaking down stress hormones. What could be bad about that?

Faster Healing

Rich in protein, nuts and seeds promote quicker and more effective healing in your body. This means your body can better handle cuts, wounds, and internal illnesses, aiding in faster recovery. In addition, their abundant vitamins and minerals strengthen the immune system. This empowers your body to fend off diseases and infections more effectively.

Improved Digestion

Thanks to their high fiber content and anti-inflammatory properties, nuts and seeds contribute to better digestion. They can help maintain a smooth digestive process and also provide relief if inflammation is causing any disruptions. When you consider all of these things, it’s no surprise people praise nuts and seeds so much!

]]> Coronavirus outbreak has the whole planet slowing down and many people are staying at home.

Pepitas! Aka pumpkin seeds – a good source of magnesium (essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium), potassium (able to balance salt intake and reduce blood pressure), fiber, healthy fats, iron, copper, and vitamin E. They are also one of the best plant-based sources of zinc, a mineral important for wound healing, immune function, and DNA synthesis. ⁣ ⁣ Pepitas are delicious raw or roasted, sprinkled on top of smoothies, salads, oatmeal, trail mix, or just on their own. You can roast them with any spices you like – cinnamon, paprika, etc. I went with just salt and olive oil here so I can use them with sweet or savory dishes.⁣ ⁣ Per cup of seeds, coat with 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1/4-1/2 tsp salt and roast at 350 for ~10 min, mixing around halfway through. 🌱
