The aroma of sesame comes from high oil content, belonging to the oil and fruit seeds in six major foods. Among them, the oil components are mainly polymorphic and fatty acids, followed by single non-fluid and fatty acid content, which has a protective effect on cardiac blood vessels. In terms of calcium content, the content of cooked white sesame seeds is 76 mg per 100 grams, while the black sesame seeds is 1479 mg, which is 19 times that of white sesame seeds, so "black" sesame seeds are also a good choice for calcium replenishment.
The impact of sesame on endothelial function of patients with hypertensionMediterranean diet in Greece and other regions is characterized by the use of food and beverages, supplementing dairy products, eating beans, fruits and fish, chicken, red meat, and using olive oil. It can help control hypertension and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Greek scientists studied 30 men with hypertension, using sesame oil instead of olive oil to add to salads, to observe the effects of long-term intake on vascular expansion ability, and to use the "endothelial suffocation function mediated by brachial blood flow" (Flow mediated dilatation, FMD) test, for 60 days, the daily diet, weight and activity volume are maintained during the period: the control group maintains the daily habit of using oil, takes olive oil or corn oil, and the experiment group takes 35 grams of sesame oil daily instead of olive oil and adds it to salad. The experiment found that compared with the control group, the FMD value increased significantly after sesame oil supplementation, which represents the enhanced vascular expansion ability of patients with hypertension.
Sesame affects degenerative inflammationOsteopathic inflammation, that is, degenerative inflammation, often occurs in the knee joints. Due to the lack of soft bones, the negative ability of shock absorption decreases, and symptoms such as painful kidney and decreased activity ability occur, which are related to inflammation and the production of oxides. However, some studies have pointed out that sesame has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Unlike Eastern countries that use rice as their staple food, in Iran in Central East, we often see large baked buns with hot pot and sprinkled with sesame seeds on the skin of fragrant sprinkled buns, which is one of the local delicacies. Local scientists conducted a two-month study on 50 patients with mild to moderate degenerative inflammation, and explored the effects of additional supplementation of sesame powder on unsuitable symptoms such as pain during drug treatment. The subjects were divided into two groups: Control group: Take 500 mg of pain-relieving medicine acetaminophen twice daily and 500 mg of glucosamine. Experimental group: The drug is the same as above control group, and 40 grams of sesame powder are added daily.
The results found that the additional sesame powder supplemented with the pain scale score is reduced from severe pain to moderate pain, and the patient's movement and static balance ability, and abnormalities are more improved.
The effects of sesame lignans on vitamin E and fat oxidationSesame seeds and sesame oil are rich in a natural chemical component — sesame lignans, which is the most abundant in sesamin. In recent years, research has found that sesame phenol has antioxidant and can enhance the activity of vitamin E, which can reduce the damage caused by free radicals in the human body to cells and reduce the oxidation of lipids. Oxidized lipids are especially oxidized low-density pyrosterols. Long-term accumulation will cause narrowing of blood vessels and loss of elasticity, which is one of the culprits of sclerosis of the asteroid.
study points out that vitamin E reduces the oxidation of low-density pyrosterols in the body, with the minimum effective dose of 400 international units (IU), that is, 276 mgα fertility alcohol amount (the calculation unit of vitamin E).
Sesamein accounts for a low proportion of sesame components, so high-dose ingredient-type nutrient supplements appear on the market, and there will be no doubt that there will be too much oil and fat after extraction. For example, 10 mg of sesamin is added daily with vitamin E, and the minimum effective amount of lipid antioxidant required for vitamin E is reduced to 112 IU, which is 1/3 of the amount studied before, and there is no doubt about safety.
Sesame oil is suitable for mixing. Sesame paste is very hot. In addition, there is a difference in food culture between Taiwan and Mediterranean. If the diet is not changed, it will be a burden on the body. In terms of diet, it mainly consists of white meat such as fish and chicken and beans, with less red meat, and a large amount of vegetables, 2 to 3 bowls a day. When cooking, avoid frying, steaming, boiling, roasting, and grilling, such as: lemon roasted fish. Sesame oil is suitable for mixing, stir-frying in medium heat or stir-frying with water, such as: sprinkle sesame oil and stir-frying with cucumber; sesame powder can replace high-hot foods such as drinks, snacks, dry baking, sweets, etc., to calm down, such as sesame paste. Only in this way can we get the nutrients of sesame, and avoid eating too much heat.
