Review on 🔋 Power Up with Anavii Hemp Hearts Protein: Unlocking a Natural Protein Powerhouse by Phanikumar Larsen

INGREDIENTS: Hemp hearts.PLUS1. This hemp powder is fresh.2. Contains no additives.3. The hemp seeds used in this product are easily ground into a light powder that is easy to mix into smoothies or mix with water or juice. It has a mild, harmless taste.5. It comes in a resealable bag, not a thick plastic canister.6. Hemp heart is an excellent source of vegan protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids (see below). Hemp kernels are the "refined" version of hemp seeds. They have the same protein and omega-3 content as whole hemp seeds but contain less fiber. Without a hard shell, they are softer and easier to chew. AGAINST 1. These hemp hearts are non-organic.2. The manufacturer does not indicate the country of origin of this cannabis.3. If you're looking to add hemp to your diet, buying whole, unground hemp seeds is already a bit pricey. If you buy them in powder form, as is the case with this product, you pay a little more for that convenience. Personally, I usually buy whole hemp seeds and grind them up in a spice grinder before adding them to my morning smoothie. If you would like to try organic hemp seeds instead of this product, there are several suppliers on the market. The brand I buy the most is Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts. This is a Canada based company and their organic hemp is grown in Canada. They have two manufacturing facilities, one in Winnipeg and one in St. Agate. They have been growing and selling hemp for over 20 years, since 1998. They have an AA+ rating from BRCGS, Canada's leading consumer protection organization. After doing extensive research on the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids (see below), I decided to add hemp seeds to my vegan diet as these seeds are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Hemp seeds have another big plus: One ounce (28 grams) contains a whopping 9.3 grams of protein and 1 gram of fiber, as well as a very healthy fat. Because of this fact, by consuming hemp seeds, I was able to cut the cost of an expensive vegan protein powder from my grocery budget. When adding whole hemp seeds to your diet, it is extremely important to understand that when consumed without grinding, first in powder form (which the manufacturer has done with this product), they simply pass through the body undigested, like very expensive ones fiber. Omega-3 fatty acids whose health benefits have been well studied. These include DHA, EPA and ALA: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are called marine omega-3 fatty acids because they are fully bioavailable in oily fish and some algae, especially schizochytrium algae. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is found in plant sources like green leafy vegetables, soybeans, walnuts, and seeds like chia, flax, and hemp, with flaxseed containing the highest amount. It's important to note that in order to get the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from these sources, the body must first convert ALA to EPA and DHA, and this conversion process is inefficient in humans. On average, only 1-10% of ALA is converted to EPA and only 1-5% to DHA. The amount of conversion is also affected by the presence in the body of sufficient amounts of the following nutrients: B6, B7, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and iron, which most vegans and vegetarians are likely already adding to their diet (especially B vitamins) . Please note that the US Institute of Medicine recommends a daily intake of 1600 mg ALA. per day for men and 1100 mg. A day for women. It's difficult to get enough ALA from just leafy greens because, for example, 1 cup of raw spinach only has 40 mg. ALA and 1 cup of raw cabbage contains only slightly more ALA at 120 mg. But if a vegan or vegetarian is willing to regularly add the following seeds and nuts to their diet (I've added all of these to my diet), getting an adequate dose of EPA and DHA from the diet is easy. separately: One ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds contains 4915 mg of ALA. The body converts this to 49-490 mg. EPA and 49-245 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of flaxseed contains 6388 mg of ALA. The body converts this to 64-640 mg. EPA and 64-320 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of hemp seed contains 6,000 mg of ALA. The body converts this to 60-600 mg. EPA and 60-300 mg DHA. One ounce (28 grams) of walnuts contains 2542 mg of ALA. The body converts this to 25-254 mg. EPA and 25-127 mg DHA. Health Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids Studies have shown that the greatest health benefits come from omega-3 supplements or the food sources listed above that provide a combination of EPA and DHA. Some of these benefits are: 1. Anti-inflammatory. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation. This is very important as numerous scientific studies over many decades have shown that inflammation is either a direct cause or a major factor in almost all diseases including but not limited to cancer, heart disease and autoimmune diseases such as arthritis. . It is very likely that this is why it was found to improve or cure all these diseases. Prevents heart disease and strokes. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids can help lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and increase blood flow by improving blood vessels' ability to dilate normally. improvement in eye health. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce cases of dry eyes, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.4. improvement in brain function. Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids can help improve mental clarity and reduce the risk of dementia and depression.
