In traditional medicine, black sesame is often used to nourish the blood and nourish the kidneys, thereby supporting hair growth to be fast, strong and black.
Modern studies also confirm the nutritional value of this seed. According to the Journal of Medicinal Food, black sesame is rich in lignans and phytosterols, active ingredients with strong antioxidant properties, helping to reduce free radicals that cause premature aging of hair and scalp. In addition, the copper and zinc content in black sesame plays an important role in stimulating the production of melanin, a natural pigment that helps hair stay golden black.
A diet rich in copper and zinc foods like black sesame not only nourishes hair follicles but also helps restore damaged hair and limit premature graying, says Dr David Kingsley, a hair and scalp specialist in the United States.
For effectiveness, nutritionists recommend eating black sesame in many ways: roasted and pureed with milk, cooked black sesame porridge, made cakes or use black sesame oil in daily meals. Maintain about 1-2 tablespoons of black sesame seeds per day, combined with a balanced diet and moderate activities to nourish hair from within.
Not only good for hair, black sesame also helps improve digestion, enhance cardiovascular health and comprehensively prevent aging. Thanks to that, adding this small but nutrient-dense seed to your daily menu is a simple secret to healthy black hair and a flexible body.
