So, why are hemp seeds healthy and good for the body? These seeds are rich in fatty acids like omega-3. This form of fatty acid is good for the heart and can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. This fact is according to a reputable nutrition researcher at the UC or the University of Connecticut named Cassandra Forsynthe, Ph.D.. In addition, an ounce of serving of these hemp seeds can also give the body approximately 11 grams of protein. This kind of protein that hemp seeds give out is not the ordinary incomplete protein that we get from most plants. Moreover, hemp seeds give out all the needed amino acids which means that the protein content is comparable to protein that are found in dairy products, eggs and meat. You can toss around 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds in your stir fried noodles or your oatmeal. You can also add them to your milk or fruit shake to add as an extra dose of protein for muscle-building.
