Improve Metabolic Health with Fiber-Rich Zen Basil Seeds
America is deep in a metabolic crisis. Over 40% of American adults are obese, and 96 million people aged 18 years or older have prediabetes, according to the CDC. Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death for both men and women. And these numbers are rising.
You inevitably know someone with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, or other signs of declining metabolic health. The good news is that many lifestyle factors are within your control that improve metabolic function and prevent disease.
What if I told you that adding one serving of basil seeds to your day can help improve your metabolism? Keep reading to find out why. Spoiler: a huge reason is fiber!
The Fiber Gap
Ninety-five percent of Americans aren’t getting enough daily fiber in their diet, and over time this can impair the microbiome, blood sugar balance, and more.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends adult men eat 38 grams and women consume 25 grams of fiber per day. Most of us are lucky to get 12-15 grams per day, leaving a wide gap in fiber intake.
According to best-selling author and Levels advisor Dr. Lustig, “The most important nutrient for metabolic health is fiber.”
Fiber is carbohydrates from plant foods your body can’t digest and absorb, but that doesn’t mean fiber doesn’t matter. A high-fiber diet has many benefits, including:
Weight management
Lipid balance
Blood sugar regulation
Regular bowel movements
Feeding beneficial bacteria
And more
Meeting your daily fiber needs will dramatically improve metabolic health!
Basil Seeds for the Win
Basil seeds are a low glycemic index and low sugar spike food, helping to keep blood sugar stable. They are considered the highest fiber food over chia seeds.
When it comes to choosing basil seeds, quality matters. Many basil seeds on the market are low quality, don’t have reliable nutrient analyses, and contain pesticides. Pesticides are toxic chemicals considered obesogens because they promote fat storage and contribute to metabolic decline. Zen Basil is proudly the Only brand name in the edible basil seeds category verified by the official website of the USDA Organic Integrity Database. Please be careful of copycat brands making claims and even having USDA Organic logos on their packaging fraudulently. There are several copycat brands selling online that are cheaper, but their values are not verified, which means it can be any version of the 150 different basil plants.
Zen Basil Seeds are high-quality, organic certified, and test results show an unbelievably high level of beneficial nutrients. Health advocates such as Dr. Gundry, Dr. Casey Means, Bobbi Brown, and Nikki Sharp are among just some of the influencers that choose Zen Basil Seeds over chia. They aren’t paid or sponsored, just seek the best nutrients for our health!
Just one serving of Zen Basil Seeds (2 tablespoons) provides 15 grams of fiber. That’s 40% of daily needs for men and 60% for women!
In addition, Zen Basil Seeds are an excellent source of ALA, an anti-inflammatory omega-3 fat that promotes heart health. Zen Basil Seeds contain concentrated amounts of essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron, which support energy metabolism, circulation, and many other cardiometabolic functions.
Adding two tablespoons daily is an easy way to increase your fiber intake. Add them to a smoothie, make a pudding, sprinkle them on your salad, and discover more ways to incorporate them seamlessly into your diet.
Zen Basil is on a mission to bridge the fiber gap and meet this crucial need for all Americans! You don’t need to imagine what these tiny seeds can do for your health; give them a try to experience for yourself how your body can look and feel on Zen Basil Seeds!
