Although generally not as popular as other seeds such as chia and flaxseeds, poppy seeds are not growing in popularity around the world for their high levels of nutrition and health promoting abilities. They are also a great source of healthy fats and can help to prevent certain types of disease. When consuming poppy seeds, you do not need to eat them in large amounts, as 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon is generally recommended per day. Now, lets discuss some of the amazing health benefits of eating poppy seeds consistently.

1. First, poppy seeds are loaded with many different types of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can promote our overall health. They are a great source of manganese, copper, phosphorus, calcium, thiamin and pantothenic acid to name a few. They are also high in dietary fibre and healthy fats, such as linoleic acid. Just make sure to consume them in moderation as they can be quite high in calories.

2. Poppy seeds can also help to promote proper digestion and nutrient uptake from the healthy foods we eat. This is because they are great sources of insoluble fibre, which is important for healthy digestion. This high fibre content can help to increase bulk which can aid bowel movements and treat unwanted digestive ailments such as constipation.

3. Consuming poppy seeds can also help to promote the health of our heart many different ways. They can help to regulate and lower cholesterol levels thanks to their high levels of nutrition and fibre content. As well, the high levels of both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in poppy seeds can help to prevent heart disease as studies have indicated. The oleic acid and high mineral content can also help to lower blood pressure levels.

4. They can also help to promote the overall health of our skin. This is often attributed to the high levels of essential nutrients and antioxidants found within poppy seeds. They can help to treat skin inflammation and conditions such as eczema. Also, poppy seeds have been shown to help moisturize the skin and cleanse the skin while making it appear clear and healthy.

5. Lastly, consuming poppy seeds regularly can help to strengthen our bones and promote overall bone health. This is because poppy seeds are great sources of calcium and copper, two important nutrients for bone health. These nutrients not only improve bone health, but strengthen bones and connective tissue. As well, the high levels of manganese found in poppy seeds helps with the production of collagen, an important protein that protects the bones.
