- Rich In Beneficial Minerals
- Sesame seeds are a very good source of copper, and calcium.
- Just a quarter-cup of sesame seeds supplies 74.0% of the daily value for copper, 31.6% of the DV for magnesium, and 35.1% of the DV for calcium. This rich assortment of minerals translates into the following health benefits:
- Copper Provides Relief for Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Copper is known for its use in reducing some of the pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Copper's effectiveness is due to the fact that this trace mineral is important in a number of antiinflammatory and antioxidant enzyme systems. In addition, copper plays an important role in the activity of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme needed for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin--the ground substances that provide structure, strength and elasticity in blood vessels, bones and joints.
