Recent studies by Japanese scientists have shown that sesamin, which accounts for only 0.5% of the content in sesame seeds, has excellent antioxidant properties and can protect the liver and heart.

Human trial results confirmed that when sesamin is transported to the liver by the blood, it can be metabolized into an antioxidant substance. Its antioxidant effect is much stronger than vitamin E, and the antioxidant effect of roasted sesame seeds is the best. Eating sesame seeds regularly can also remove aging substances such as "free radicals" within cells, delay cellular aging, and maintain youthful vitality in the body.

Sesame seeds can also strengthen the cardiovascular system. The main components of sesame oil are unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and palmitic acid, which are hailed as "vascular cleaners." They can promote cholesterol metabolism, remove deposits on the walls of blood vessels, and keep blood vessels "young." Additionally, sesame seeds have the highest iron content among all foods, with three times more iron than the same amount of spinach. Therefore, in treating iron-deficiency anemia, sesame seeds are unmatched by any other food.

Experts suggest that eating 40 grams of roasted sesame seeds per day can have health benefits. Sesame seeds come in black and white varieties. White sesame seeds are better for consumption, while black sesame seeds are preferable for medicinal use. Studies show that roasted sesame seeds have the best antioxidant effects.
