Have you heard of Sunflower Lecithin? There are a number of known benefits including it's awesome brain boosting power and goes great in a smoothie. We have 50g packets in stock for $14 - drop in to our shop on Gregory Terrace to try some out.
Some benefits may include:
1. Healthier Brain
Sunflower lecithin is loaded with phospholipids which the body uses to create, repair, and strengthen brain and nerve cells. People
who suffer from degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s have shown significant improvements to their
conditions when a daily dose of 35mg or more of sunflower lecithin is administered.
2. Cholesterol Lowering (Linoleic Acid )
Since lecithin is a fat emulsifier, it’s a vital component used by the body to remove excess fats from the bloodstream, including
triglycerides and free cholesterol. Linoleic acid is the main ingredient found in sunflower lecithin that helps the liver to accomplish this
task. The only other lecithin-containing plant that contains as much linoleic acid in it is olive oil. Soy lecithin contains very small amounts.
3. Liver Repair
When the liver gets over-loaded with excess lipids (fats), they start to accumulate inside the organ rather than being eliminated through
the bowels as they’re supposed to. This condition is known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and it’s a growing epidemic that causes
type-II diabetes, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Thephospholipids in sunflower lecithin help to keep the liver clear of these excess fats
and thus, work more efficiently.
4. Estro gen Free
Soy lecithin has been used for years an emulsifier for chocolates, baked goods, and butter. A couple of decades ago, science discovered
that soy products contain phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens cause men and women to produce estrogen which causes metabolic
problems, sexual disfunction, early menopause, weight gain, breast growth (in men and women) and autoimmune disorders of the thyroid
and adrenal glands.Learn more. Sunflower lecithin contains no phytoestrogens whatsoever.
5. Powerful Antio xidant
Sunflower lecithin contains one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, called phosphatidylcholine. This antioxidant prevents free radicals
from destroying the cells in our bodies. The oxidative damage done by free radicals causes premature aging and cancer throughout the
body.
6. Faster Healin g
The linoleic and other oleic acids in sunflower lecithin helps speed the release of inflammatory transmitters (cytokines) to the injured
areas of our body. To achieve this benefit on external wounds, apply lecithin straight to the affected area.
7. Nervous System Health
The abundance of fatty acids found in sunflower lecithin help to strengthen nerve tissues and increase neurotransmitter activity. Nerve
fibers are made up of myelin sheaths. These sheaths are like a complex information railroad that allows nerve impulses to travel to their
destination. When they’re disrupted the nervous system is thrown out of balance.
8. Lowers Blood Pressure
As you’ve learned already, linoleic acid is an emulsifier that works to break down fats of all kinds in the body, including excess triglycerides
and cholesterol in the blood. When levels of either are too high, they accumulate on the walls of our arteries causing arteriosclerosis (ie.,
thickening of the walls of the arteries) which leads to high blood pressure and eventually heart attacks and strokes.
9. Sleep Qualit y
Sunflower lecithin has more choline than almost any other plant or animal food source found in nature.Choline is converted
to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, which many people around the world are deficient in because of their processed food diets.
10. Arthritis
Lecithin is the fatty, viscous fluid that sits between and lubricates every joint in our body. Without adequate intake of lecithin, joints
become stiff which eventually leads to permanent joint problems and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Consuming 40 – 100mg of
sunflower lecithin
