This is why you should regularly include Sunflower seeds in your diet...

If you want a health-supportive snack, have a handful of sunflower seeds that has a mild, nutty flavor and a firm but soft texture. This will not only quench your hunger but also provide you with a great nutritional value. Sunflower seeds are available all year round.
​
Sunflower seeds come from sunflower, a beautiful flower with rays of bright yellow-colored petals emanating from its center that is full of seeds. Sunflower seeds are encased in either black or gray-colored tear-drop shaped shells that typically feature stripes in black and white. Sunflower seeds are among the foods that are key polyunsaturated oil sources.

Sunflower seeds contain a rich supply of vitamin E; each serving of sunflower seeds equivalent to 1/4 cup or 35 grams contains approximately 61.5% vitamin E. Vitamin E provides essential anti-inflammatory benefits by protecting cholesterol, brain cells and cell membranes in the body. Vitamin E reduces the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and asthma, reduces colon cancer risk, decreases the frequency and severity of hot flashes in menopausal women, and reduces risk of diabetes-related complications.

Additionally, vitamin E plays a pivotal role in preventing cardiovascular disease. Since vitamin E is one of the key fat-soluble antioxidants in the body, it helps prevent the oxidation of cholesterol that causes atherosclerosis which triggers stroke, heart attack, or blocked arteries. Based on studies, high vitamin E intake significantly reduces risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack.

Sunflower seeds also have a good supply of magnesium; each serving contains approximately 28.4%. Based on numerous studies, magnesium reduces the severity of asthma, lowers high blood pressure, prevents migraines, and reduces risk of heart attack and stroke.

Additionally, magnesium counterweights calcium, that way, it keeps the nerves as well as the muscles and blood vessels they innervate calm. Inadequate or low magnesium levels in the body can lead to excessive contraction which triggers fatigue, soreness, muscle cramps, migraines, muscle spasms like heart muscle spasms and airway spasms in asthma, and high blood pressure.

Sunflower seeds also contain selenium; each serving contains approximately 26.5% selenium. Selenium may help in detoxification as well as cancer prevention which makes this trace mineral essential to human health. There is strong evidence that selenium helps repair DNA and synthesize damaged cells.
​
Furthermore, selenium is associated with the activity of various proteins like glutathione peroxidase which is especially essential for protecting against cancer. So insufficient glutathione peroxidase levels in the body may result in DNA damage and promote cancer cell development.
