Protein is the building unit in our body and performs many essential functions. Even though of so much importance, our bodies can’t store protein, thus we require a regular intake of protein through our diet. To fulfill the protein requirement of our bodies, we have to take protein-rich food each day, or our bodies will start to break down.

One crucial source of this macronutrient ‘protein’ is Hemp seeds. Although obtained from a misunderstood plant “Cannabis Sativa,” hemp seeds are used all over the world for its protein content. Always  buy from your trusted source of High THC Seeds. Let’s see the benefits of hemp seeds.

Benefits of Hemp Seeds as a Protein Source

  • They contain easily digestible proteins: – Other rich sources of protein like legumes contain phytic acid, and beans contain saponins, which are harder to absorb and act as anti-nutrients. But hemp seeds contain proteins like albumin and edestin, which are essential for our bodies are quite easy to digest.
  • They do not have trypsin inhibitors: – The function of trypsin is to digest proteins and convert them into smaller units called amino acids. Trypsin is secreted from the pancreas in the form of trypsinogen. Most of the protein-rich food contains trypsin inhibitors, which reduce the digestive effect of the hormone because of which all the protein present in the food is not adequately absorbed. But it’s not the case with hemp seeds; they don’t have trypsin inhibitor, making them an excellent source of essential proteins.
  • They contain all the essential amino acids: – Amino acids are the basic monomer unit of proteins. In general, our body requires 20 amino acids in total. Out of these 20 amino acids, we synthesis 11 amino acids in our body, the remaining nine amino acids are obtained from different food sources. Hemps seeds are a good source of proteins as they contain all the nine essential amino acids making it an ultimate diet to receive all the essential amino acids at once.
  • They have no additives and contaminants: – Other sources of proteins like meat, juices, vegetables, etc. need processing and packaging before they can make it markets. These processes mean they would be treated with different preservatives, flavoring agents, and other chemical substances to keep them fresh and attractive. This is not the case with hemp seeds; they do not need any artificial preservatives or flavoring agents to keep them safe and fresh, which means we get what we see.
  • They are natural hypoallergenic: – Other essential sources of proteins like legumes, grains, nuts, meat, etc. are seen to trigger allergic reactions in some persons because of some of their components. Wheat, Barley, rye, and other grains contain gluten, which is not suitable for people with Celiac disease. On the other hand, to date, hemp seeds are not known to include any of the allergen components and cause any allergic reaction in any person.
  • They have more protein density than any other food: – It is found in researches that hemp seed contains around 25 gm proteins per 100 gm of  seed. This amount of proteins outnumbers almost all of the food items known till now. The only food item which has better stats is soy. It contains 32 gm of proteins per 100 gm. But soy has a high number of trypsin inhibitor components present because of which most of the proteins remain unusable for our body. Because of this hemp, remains our unbeaten champion.
  • They control cholesterol, inflammation, and reduce the risk of blood clots: – Apart from essential amino acids, hemp seeds also contain a balanced amount of all the vital acids. This fair amount of fatty acids makes them work efficiently in our bodies and increases the density of omega-3 in our bodies. The increased quantities of omega-3 show many beneficial effects on our bodies. These effects include maintenance of blood pressure, improving metabolism, anti-inflammatory effects, and many other benefits. 

Ways to use hemp seeds

One can easily add hemp seeds to the daily diet. Although coming from the cannabis plant, these seeds do not contain THC, so it does not cause any intoxicating effects on our body; thus are safe to use for all age groups. So here are some ways to use hemp seeds in your diet.

  • Sprinkle raw on salads: – It is pretty safe to eat hemp seeds fresh, for that you can add hemp seed to your salad for a nutty and delightful flavor.
  • Blend them in drinks: – If you don’t like the taste of raw hemp seeds, you can consider blending them in your drinks. While making a smoothie or shakes, add a spoon or two while blending it, and you wouldn’t even know it’s there. And with that, you will have your homemade protein shake ready.
  • Hemp milk: – It would nothing be like dairy milk you are costumed to drink, but for some change and if you are lactose intolerant, you can try it. Blend a handful amount of hemp seeds with some water and some vanilla essence, and it’s ready. You get a different punch in milk for a change.

Hemp is one of the most misjudged plants present. Even with lots of beneficial effects of both plant and seeds, which are scientifically proven, people might be reluctant to add them to their diets. To break that stereotype, read the beneficial effects of hemp seeds mentioned above and add them to your daily diet.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
