Learn More About a Health Condition And How Hemp Can Help

How does Hemp Seed impact Metabolism?

Metabolism, put simply, is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy. Our bodies require energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism.

Studies have shown that the ideal ratio for the fatty acids in hemp seeds is 3 to 1. At this ratio, these fatty acids help to support healthy cholesterol levels, immune system function, and may help regulate your metabolism.  Having a balanced omega 3:6 ratio in your body significantly reduces appetite and sugar cravings, and aids in increasing metabolism. 

If weight loss is a concern for you this means your body is able to burn food more efficiently. And since hemp seed also contains powerful anti-inflammatories, you may also benefit from increased performance in physical exercise and activities.

How does Hemp Seed support a Healthy Digestive System?

Gut health relates to more than just your stomach, it actually refers to your entire digestive tract, starting at your mouth and finishing at, well… the other end. The purpose of the gut is to transport food and break it down into the smallest particles to enable them to be absorbed by the bloodstream and used throughout the body. Anything remaining is waste material and needs to be… dumped. For all of these activities to happen in a healthy way, our gut needs to be in good shape.

A diet rich in fibre promotes good digestive health. Hemp seeds are one of the best sources of plant-based protein and dietary fibre. Whole hemp seeds contain both soluble fibre and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre slows down digestion by attracting water to create a gel-like substance in your gut. In addition to feeding the good bacteria in your gut, soluble fibre binds to substances like cholesterol and sugar and prevents or slows their absorption into the blood. This helps prevent blood sugar spikes and regulates cholesterol levels. Insoluble fibre, commonly referred to as roughage, adds bulk to your stool and helps keep you regular. Fibre not only helps to regulate blood glucose levels, but it can also help you feel fuller longer.

Improve your Heart Health with Hemp Seed Oil

The human heart beats around 2.5 billion times over a lifetime, pushing millions of litres of blood to every part of the body and carrying with it oxygen, fuel, and hormones. It also carries away the waste products of metabolism. When the heart stops, essential functions fail, some almost instantly. Given how hard the heart must work, it’s a wonder it performs so well for so long. But it can also be derailed by a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, infection, and unlucky genes.

Although many people develop some form of cardiovascular disease as they get older, it isn’t inevitable. A healthy diet and lifestyle, especially when started at a young age, goes a long way to preventing cardiovascular disease.

  • Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in hemp seed oil, can help lower blood pressure in people with hypertension (high blood pressure).
  • Hemp seed oil is rich in linoleic acid. Studies have shown that eating a diet high in linoleic acid significantly reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol levels reduces your risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease.

Research recommends using omega-3 fatty acid supplements alongside your regular blood pressure medication.

Improve your Skincare Health with Hemp Seed Oil

Contrary to what the skincare business may tell you, simplicity is the key. The best and safest solutions come courtesy of Mother Nature and incorporate skin-loving ingredients we can put on our skin as well as ingest. Fortunately, nature offers a plethora of beautiful plant-based oils that work in synergy with our bodies.

Incorporating hemp seed oil into your daily diet and skincare routine offers endless ways to glow from the inside out. Little wonder it’s one of the coolest ingredients in the skincare industry right now.


Skin – Hemp oil is perfect for most skin types as it can moisturize without clogging your pores. It can help to balance out oily skin, hydrating it and regulating the skin’s oil production. One of the omega-6 fatty acids that hemp oil contains is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory while simultaneously encouraging skin growth and new cell generation. This can help to calm inflammation and irritation on the skin, including acne, dermatitis, and psoriasis.

In addition to moisturizing and soothing the skin, hemp oil has anti-aging properties. Hemp oil can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as prevent signs of aging from developing.

Hair – Although there isn’t specific clinical research to support their claims, enthusiasts of using hemp seed oil for hair, whether applied topically or taken as a supplement, suggest that the oil helps to moisturise, strengthen, and stimulate hair growth.

Nails – Hemp seed is a superfood loaded with vitamins. The best way to get strong nails is from the nutrients found in whole food. Vitamins and minerals found in hemp seed can help eliminate deficiencies that cause brittle nails. Alternatively, massage a small amount of hemp seed oil directly onto your nails and cuticles to nourish, hydrate, repair and strengthen, and the anti-fungal properties are a bonus!

Support your Nervous System with Hemp Seed Hearts

The nervous system controls everything you do, including breathing, walking, thinking, and feeling. This system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of your body. The brain is the control centre and the spinal cord is the major highway to and from the brain. Diseases, accidents, toxins and the natural aging process can damage your nervous system.

Minerals found in hemp seed are essential to the normal functioning of our nervous system, brain, immune system, bone health, cellular health, and wound healing, to name a few benefits. Manganese is a trace mineral which your body needs in small amounts. It’s essential for the normal functioning of your brain, nervous system, and many of your body’s enzyme systems.

A single 30g serving of hemp hearts provides around 99% of our daily manganese requirement, 50% for magnesium, 27% for zinc, 13% for iron, and around 8% for potassium. Hemp hearts outrank pumpkin, flax, sunflower, chia, and sesame seeds in almost all of these minerals.

Healthy Brain Function with Hemp Seed Hearts

To properly improve your brain function, you need the whole range of minerals and vitamins every minute of every day! Brain development requires many nutrients, and in particular, essential fatty acids.

Hemp seeds are high in brain-friendly antioxidants and omega fats, making them one of the greatest plant-based protein sources. They also contain vitamin E, minerals, and resistant starch, a gut-friendly prebiotic. In a nutshell, these small seeds are nutrient-dense for the brain. Protein and fat are the two macronutrients found in hemp seeds that stand out. Let’s look at the incredible advantages that these two crucial players provide.

  • Protein is absolutely essential for brain development, function and mental health. So, what is it about hemp protein that distinguishes it from other proteins? Hemp seeds have a protein content of roughly 25%, which is exceptional. The protein in hemp seeds is very high quality because it contains significant amounts of all essential amino acids — the building blocks of protein.
  • Like proteins, there are some “essential” fats that your body cannot produce and must be obtained from food. Omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which are found in hemp seeds, are important for good health. A typical “Western” diet is high in omega-6 fats. This throws off the body’s balanced ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s. This is why there are so many recommendations for consuming more omega-3 fats through food sources or supplements. In fact, studies reveal that omega-3 EPA appears to be the most significant nutrient for mental health disorders like depression and anxiety.

Reduce Inflammation & Arthritis Symptoms

Arthritis refers to the inflammation of one or more joints. Symptoms may come and go, and includes limited joint function, pain, swelling, and stiffness ranging from mild, moderate, to severe. Over time the pain often worsens causing general tiredness, sleeping difficulties, and making daily activities such as climbing stairs difficult. Arthritis has a multitude of related conditions making it one of the leading causes of disability. Osteoarthritis, which is its most common form, is usually managed through inflammatory medicines, which often have serious side effects and can lead to tolerance and in serious cases, joint replacements may be necessary.

Despite ongoing research and new drugs to help treat arthritis, many people still prefer organic and natural alternatives to battle this excruciating and crippling disease. If you would rather avoid going down the pharmaceutical route, there is evidence to suggest that hemp seed oil may ease arthritic joint pain.

Hemp seed oil is extracted from seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant and have a rich profile of nutrients, fatty acids, and useful bioactive compounds. The extraction occurs through cold-pressing, in the same the way that olives are cold-pressed to make olive oil. Just to be clear, hemp seed oil is NOT the same as cannabidiol (CBD) oil. Hemp seeds are one of the most nutritionally balanced foods available. They contain all the essential amino acids that your body needs along with gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA may have anti-inflammatory effects similar to drugs like ibuprofen and one study found a 75% reduction in arthritis-associated pain in participants after nine months of GLA supplementation.

Sleep More Soundly with Hemp Seed Oil

Sleep is an essential function that allows your body and mind to recharge, leaving you refreshed and alert during the day. Healthy sleep also helps the body remain healthy and ward off illness. Without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly, adversely affecting your concentration, thinking processes, and the way you process memories.

According to the Health Sleep Foundation around a third of us suffer from at least mild insomnia, and the negative impact of sleep deprivation. Life and work stress, a disruptive bedroom environment, unhealthy diets, alcohol consumption, and medical conditions can all prevent us from receiving enough sleep.

Whilst there has not been enough research done to prove that hemp seed oil improves sleep, we can assert the following:

  • A single serving of hemp hearts provides 50% of your daily recommended intake of magnesium. Magnesium is an important mineral that is necessary for overall health by fighting inflammation and lowering blood pressure, helping to achieve deep and restful sleep.
  • Hemp seed oil contains Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation in the body. Reduced inflammation and joint pain means better sleep!
  • Additionally, there is evidence to suggest that nutrient-rich hemp seed oil makes an ideal carrier oil for rubbing into the muscles or onto sore joints as a pain-relieving massage. An end of day massage has proven benefits in terms of stress relief, relaxation, and better sleep

Plant-based Proteins for Muscle Recovery

Hemp is considered a superior plant protein since it is a complete, sustainable protein source, including the nine amino acids that our bodies are unable to produce on their own. Amino acids are the building blocks for all protein in our bodies, vital for tissue growth and repair.

Protein consumption after exercise plays an important role in promoting muscle repair and recovery. This can become increasingly important when looking to build and retain lean muscle, as well as during periods of heavy training. Hemp protein powder is ideal for using in pre- or post-workout smoothies.

Hemp hearts also are an ideal post-workout food because the omega-3s work to reduce inflammation in the body, allowing your muscles to repair and rebuild more quickly. Hemp seeds can be enjoyed raw or cooked. Add them to your favourite smoothie, toss them on a salad or stir them into oatmeal.

Can Omega-rich Hemp Seed Oil Help?

Hemp seed oil is rich in GLA (gamma linolenic acid), a building block from some prostaglandins.  Prostaglandins play an important role in the body’s function, helping smooth muscles contract, controlling body temperature and inflammation, and other bodily functions.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects up to 80% of women of reproductive age, causing many to suffer physical and/or mental health problems.  GLA supplementation appears to be beneficial for optimal hormone health, which may explain why so many women have reported a considerable reduction in PMS symptoms.  The exact process is unknown, but the GLA in hemp seed may regulate the hormone imbalances and inflammation associated with menopause. 

One study of women with PMS required the women take one gram of essential fatty acids (including 210 mg of GLA) daily. 

Hemp seed oil’s high omega-3 fatty acid content also makes it a beneficial supplement for women who are pregnant. Studies found that omega-3 fatty acids are vital during pregnancy. They support healthy brain and eye development for the baby and may also help prevent maternal depression.
