5. Bone Health Enhancement
As people age, they are more susceptible to degenerative bone diseases such as osteoporosis and spondylosis. Over 80 percent of those over 60 have some type of bone disease.
These conditions can limit mobility and reduce quality of life. Calcium is essential for bone density. Every 100 grams of sesame seeds contains 975mg calcium. Sesame oil provides a concentrated source of this essential nutrient.
Zinc is another mineral that can be found in sesame oil. This mineral helps to prevent skeletal diseases by preventing calcium leaching from the bones. Most bone-health supplements contain zinc and calcium. Sesame oil can be used as a natural alternative to expensive supplements.
Sesame seed oil is rich in protein, tryptophan and amino acids like isoleucine and leucine. The building blocks for bone cells are amino acids and protein.
