Is sunflower seed for snack fattening?
Sunflower seeds are an excellent snack by themselves


or as an ingredient, offering a wealth of nutrients,


many of which are hard-to-get. Full of healthy


unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, minerals, vitamins


and phytochemicals, nutrition scientists are realizing


that we should pay better attention to this


power-packed whole food.





Sunflower seeds are also recognized by the U.S.


Dietary Guidelines for their nutrient density. They


are specifically noted to be the best whole food


source of vitamin E, providing 84% of the daily


value in just one ounce (1) A lower risk of deathfrom stroke has been associated with vitamin E-rich


foods (2); and since studies have shown that only


5% of men and 4% of women meet the RDA for


vitamin E, choosing sunflower seeds to increase vitamin


E intake is a wise and easy solution Adding sunflower seeds to baked goods, sprinkling


them on salads, or using them as a coating on


chicken can add a lot of protein and many important


nutrients to your meal. It’s easy to incorporate


sunflower seeds into your diet in a tasty and healthy


way
Reply:One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to


http://health-thin.info and order you free trial, also you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!
