MY GRANDMA’S REMEDIES: HEMP
Firstly, please don’t think we’ve gone mad. Hemp is related to the cannabis plant but it is not the same. Hemp is actually a great super-food.
Packed full of healthy fatty acids, it is good for your heart and can help to achieve better blood cholesterol levels and reduce hardening of the arteries. The fatty acids also aid your memory.
High in fibre, hemp can keep the digestive tract healthy. A natural appetite suppressant, it is also useful if you are weight-watching. Omega 3 and Omega 6 further help to combat heart disease, stimulate skin and hair growth, and maintain healthy bones. The oil is used in many beauty products too.
Hemp is available as a supplement, seeds or oil, from larger supermarkets or health food stores. Use it to make a variety of things from pesto to muffins. You can even buy hemp chocolate – yummy. Visit www.facebook.com/THemptationfoods
