Ordinary sesame paste is surprisingly the same nutritional ingredients with fish. In diet and health care, they have many similar nutritional effects.
Brain invigorating:
Fish is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids as called "brain gold", which is very beneficial to brain-invigorating and mental development of children. Sesame paste also has such a good brain invigorating effect, because it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids like fish. Fatty acid content per 100g of sesame paste is 13 times that of yellow croaker and 33 times that of grass carp!
Heart care & fat reduction:
Eating fish can protect the heart and cardiovascular system. These benefits are also due to the abundant unsaturated fatty acids in fish. Rich unsaturated fatty acids in sesame paste have the same effect. The contented fatty acids in a spoonful of sesame paste (about 20g) have that of half kg of grass carp and squid!
Calcium supplement:
Calcium content in sesame paste is also relatively high. Each 100g of sesame paste contains 612mg of calcium, which is much higher than the common calcium supplements such as milk and tofu.
Nourishing blood:
Sesame paste is also rich in iron and folic acid. Iron and folic acid are indispensable materials for hematopoiesis. Nearly 1/4 of the population in our country suffers from iron deficiency anemia. It is very critical to supplement foods rich in iron.
Anti-diabetic and anti-hypertension:
Zinc and potassium are also higher in sesame paste. These two minerals have good effect in preventing diabetes and high blood pressure: zinc participates in synthesis and degradation of insulin; potassium has functions of relaxing blood vessels and promoting sodium excretion, which is beneficial to blood pressure health.
Antioxidant, anti-distortion:
It must be mentioned about two kinds of vitamins in sesame paste; one is Vitamin E and the other is folic acid. The former has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, so eating sesame paste often can improve body's resistance to diseases and delay aging. Folic acid is not only a raw material for hematopoiesis, but also an indispensable nutrient for fetal neural tube development. When ready to get pregnant, women eat sesame paste every day and persist until 3 months of pregnancy to prevent the occurrence of neural tube defects in fetus.
