In addition, black sesame has many functions and effects, but people also need to pay attention to taboos when using it.

Black sesame benefits and functions:

1. Prevent osteoporosis

Roast the black sesame seeds and grind them into powder. Eat a small spoonful before meals every day, chewing them dry. If you persist in doing this for a long time, it can not only nourish the kidneys but also prevent osteoporosis. Sesame has the effects of nourishing the five internal organs, increasing energy and strength, growing muscles, and replenishing essence and marrow. The kidneys control the bones. Black sesame seeds enter the kidneys, strengthen the kidney qi, and make the bones strong. If the kidneys are well nourished, the body can still absorb calcium from the diet even if you don't take calcium tablets. Of course, this method is only suitable for health care and prevention. If you already have osteoporosis, you still need drug treatment.

2. Anti-aging

The magical effect of black sesame also lies in the fact that it contains vitamin E, which ranks first among plant foods. Vitamin E can promote cell division and delay cell aging. Regular consumption can offset or neutralize the accumulation of "free radicals", a substance that causes ageing in cells, and play an anti-aging and life-prolonging role.

Since ancient times, sesame has been regarded as "immortal" food. According to "Shennong's Herbal Classic", sesame "replenishes the five internal organs, increases energy and strength, grows muscles, fills the brain marrow, and long-term consumption can make the body light and prevent aging." Modern medicine has confirmed that sesame has anti-aging effects.

3. Black hair care

The vitamin E in black sesame helps blood circulation in the scalp, promotes the vitality of hair, and moisturizes the hair to prevent it from becoming dry and brittle. The high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium and other nutrients contained in sesame can nourish hair, prevent hair loss and gray hair, and keep hair black and shiny.

Contraindications of black sesame: People with chronic enteritis and loose stools and diarrhea should not eat it.
