The benefits and harms of sesame oil for the body. Chemical composition

20.10.2019

Sesame (sesame) oil is an ancient healing agent used by healers in the days of the Egyptian pharaohs. It was even included in the Ebers papyrus, compiled by the strongest healers of Egypt in the 16th century BC! It was also used in China, and in India, and in Japan ... However, why was it used? Sesame oil is still successfully used by many Eastern healers today. For this product allows you to achieve such results that are difficult to achieve or completely unattainable by means of orthodox Western medicine.

However, as we already know, sesame seed oil has not only medicinal properties, but also excellent culinary characteristics (taste, smell, calorie content). And our ancestors, of course, also noticed this. After all, if they guessed how to make wine from sesame (and in one of the Assyrian myths, the ancient gods even started creating the world only after they drank sesame wine), then they learned to get sesame oil at least not later.

By the way, sesame oil has a much greater potential for long-term storage than the seeds themselves. With proper storage, it does not oxidize and retains all its properties for up to 9 years! Seeds, as a rule, are stored for no more than a year. After that, they become rancid and it is highly undesirable to eat them.

The chemical composition of sesame oil: the content of calcium and other minerals

The benefits and harms of sesame oil, as well as all its culinary virtues, depend entirely on its chemical composition.

It is generally accepted that the chemical composition of sesame oil contains a lot of all sorts of micro and macro elements (especially calcium), vitamins and even proteins. So this is all nonsense! In fact, there are not even hints of minerals and proteins in the composition of sesame oil. And of the vitamins, there is only vitamin E, and even then not in a “fabulous”, but in a very modest amount: according to various sources - from 9 to 55% of the daily intake.

In all likelihood, this confusion is due to the fact that sesame oil is often referred to as a paste of sesame seeds, which actually contains everything the same as whole seeds (with minor losses). Nothing but fatty acids, esters and vitamin E passes into the oil. Therefore, to the question: “How much calcium is in sesame oil?” there can be only one answer: there is no calcium in sesame oil at all. And hoping to cover the body's daily need for calcium with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame oil (as some "experts" promise) is simply pointless.

If we consider the fat composition of sesame oil, we get the following picture:

Omega-6 fatty acids (mainly linoleic): about 42%

Omega-9 fatty acids (mainly oleic): about 40%

Saturated fatty acids (palmic, stearic, arachidic): about 14%

All other components, including lignans (not just fatty acids): about 4%

We have indicated approximate values because the composition of each particular bottle of sesame oil depends on the content of fatty acids in sesame seeds, which in turn depends on dozens of factors (soil, storage conditions, weather, etc.).

Calorie content of sesame oil: 899 kcal per 100 grams.

What is useful sesame oil?

First of all, I would like to note lignans (sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin), due to which sesame oil oxidizes very slowly under natural conditions and behaves more stably during heat treatment. But this is not the benefit we wanted to talk about. The main advantage of lignans, which are part of sesame oil, is their estrogenic activity, as well as the ability to fight cancer cells (they have a powerful antioxidant effect).

The presence of lignans in sesame oil suggests that people who regularly consume it significantly reduce the risk of cancer of the prostate, breast and reproductive organs. Moreover, more recently, scientists have discovered that sesame oil helps to treat any type of cancer, including melanoma.

You can often hear recommendations for the use of sesame oil for weight loss. Do they have a right to exist? They definitely have, because sesame oil is actively involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism in the body, which ultimately directly affects body weight. In addition, including sesame oil in your diet, you thereby eliminate the causes of overeating (it saturates and nourishes the body well).

On the other hand, if you add sesame oil to a salad, pour it over a side dish, bake meat with it, and then, to be sure, decide in addition to drink a spoon or two of this wonderful remedy, then additional grams will definitely appear on your sides, stomach and buttocks. and even kilograms. In doing so, you will greatly harm your body as a whole.

The benefits of sesame oil for mature and elderly women are obvious (mainly due to lignans). After all, even a small amount of this product helps to normalize hormonal levels and alleviate the condition of women suffering from hot flashes.

Useful sesame oil during pregnancy and lactation. For during these periods, the woman's body experiences an increased need for vegetable fats, and sesame oil helps to satisfy it. Moreover, the effect of sesame oil will be visible both with internal and external use. Because the nutrition of skin cells occurs on both sides. If there are not enough vegetable oils in the diet, then stretch marks will inevitably appear on the woman’s chest and stomach.

Speaking about pregnant and lactating women, we should probably mention children, but there are no specific features of the effect of sesame oil on children. And the fact that vegetable fats are necessary for normal development and growth, in our opinion, is obvious. It should be borne in mind that the needs of children for oils are minimal, and it is very easy to overdo it. "Overdose" is fraught with a rash and irritation on the skin.

Clinically proven that sesame oil:

slows down the aging of body cells (especially skin cells, hair and nails)

reduces the intensity of pain during menstruation

improves blood clotting (especially important for patients with hemorrhagic diathesis, thrombopenia, etc.)

strengthens the cardiovascular system, helps normalize blood pressure and prevents spasms of cerebral vessels

lowers bad cholesterol (low density) and helps the body get rid of plaque in the blood vessels

enhances blood supply to all parts of the brain, thereby increasing its ability to memorize and reproduce information

helps to recover from physical and mental stress

has a slight laxative effect, cleanses the human digestive system of toxins, toxins and salts of heavy metals

stimulates the formation and release of bile

eliminates dysfunctions of the liver and pancreas, stimulates digestion, and also protects the walls of the stomach and intestines from the negative effects of digestive juices and harmful substances that get inside with food

In addition, sesame oil increases the absorption of vitamins that come with food. Therefore, with hypovitaminosis, you should eat more vegetable salads richly seasoned with sesame oil.

But what is useful sesame oil from the point of view of traditional medicine:

raises immunity

helps to treat lung diseases (asthma, bronchitis)

lowers blood sugar levels

strengthens teeth and gums, reduces pain and eliminates inflammation in the mouth

Sesame oil also has other medicinal properties, but their disclosure requires the external use of this product. Our article is limited to the use of sesame oil inside.

How to take sesame oil?

Traditional medicine gives many recommendations in this regard. Moreover, here, as elsewhere: how many recipes, so many opinions. Therefore, let's leave the subtleties of taking sesame oil to healers and healers, and here we formulate the main ideas regarding the use of sesame oil:

To obtain a therapeutic effect, you should take sesame oil on an empty stomach.

Sesame oil should not be too much. Two or three spoons a day (depending on age and build) is the maximum.

The total amount of fat that enters your body per day should not exceed 1 gram per 1 kg of body weight. If there are so many fats in the diet, then a certain amount of animal fats should be excluded to take sesame oil.

Harm of sesame oil and contraindications to its use

Sesame oil helps to increase the level of blood clotting. It also does not tolerate long-term heat treatment (carcinogens are formed, and in the end, healthy oil will turn into a decorative coating like drying oil).

In this regard, contraindications to the use of sesame oil are as follows:

varicose veins, thrombophlebitis

individual intolerance (including sesame)

tendency to thrombosis

increased blood clotting

With a tendency to allergic reactions, sesame oil should be tried with extreme care, gradually increasing volumes.

If you have any doubts about the benefits and harms of sesame oil, as well as about folk recipes that include this component, be sure to contact your doctor or family doctor. This way you will avoid unnecessary nervousness and possible health problems.

Sesame oil in Ayurveda

There are often statements on the net like this: “Ayurveda recommends drinking sesame oil in the morning in order to be healthy and never die.” However, they have nothing to do with reality. Because Ayurveda treatment involves a very individual approach to each specific case.

For example, Ayurveda recommends using sesame oil only for people with a predominant Vata dosha (and even then no more than 1 tablespoon per day). For those who have Kapha or Pitta as their predominant dosha, taking sesame oil orally is strongly discouraged.

At the same time, for cosmetic purposes (externally), sesame oil can be used by everyone. True, people like Pitta and Kapha do it better with caution and not often.

How to choose and how to store sesame oil?

Sesame oil is made from raw, roasted and roasted seeds.

Raw-pressed sesame oil is the lightest and most delicate of all. Has a light nutty aroma.

The most intense taste and aroma has oil pressed from roasted sesame seeds.

The benefits and harms of various types of sesame oil are approximately the same. The differences relate mainly to taste and smell. So, only you can determine which sesame oil is best for you, focusing on your own feelings.

In fairness, we note that there is also refined sesame oil, but it is not even worth considering seriously. Because there are much cheaper and equally safe options for "tasteless" oils suitable for frying.

It is better to store sesame oil in a dark, cool place in a well-corked glass or ceramic container.

The use of sesame oil in cooking

Sesame oil is a must have where Asian dishes are prepared at least occasionally. Spicy Chinese appetizers, seafood salads, pickled vegetables, meat, meat salads, deep-fried meats and even oriental sweets - all this goes well with sesame oil, which, in turn, "gets along" wonderfully with honey and soy sauce.

If the taste of sesame oil is too rich for your dish, then it can be mixed with any other vegetable oils. As a rule, oriental culinary masters recommend mixing it with peanut butter, because it is softer than sesame oil in all respects.

And once again: do not fry in sesame oil - take care of your health!

SESAME: BENEFITS AND HARMS

Sesame (sometimes called sesame in Russian) is one of the most common food products in the East. There it is called differently - more "fabulous" - simsim (Arabic version). In English, sesame is called "sesame", and in Latin - "Sesamum Indicum".

Sesame seeds have been known to the inhabitants of India, China, Korea, Egypt and other eastern countries for several thousand years. And since the acquaintance of mankind with this wonderful plant, many recipes for delicious dishes and useful potions have been invented. So the "Russian" perception of sesame seeds solely as a flavoring additive for sprinkling buns and bread, to put it mildly, is divorced from reality.

In ancient times, faith in the healing properties of sesame was so great that it was "included" in the composition of the elixir of immortality, which, according to legend, the gods ate, and which was able to prolong a person's life for many, many years. Apparently, since then, sesame has not come out of the "sources" of longevity, so even now in the east it is added to almost every dish. However, most of the "simsim" seeds these days are grown for a different purpose - namely, for the production of sesame oil., which is no less popular with culinary specialists, doctors and cosmetologists than sesame itself.

Useful properties of sesame

Sesame seeds are useful even in the smallest quantities. Even in lush buns made from refined flour and margarine, they show themselves in the best light. After all, sesame seeds contain a lot of dietary fiber, which helps any, even the most harmful and “sticky”, products to move through the gastrointestinal tract easily and naturally. At the same time, the stool is getting better, and at the same time, the amount of toxins and fragments of denatured proteins absorbed into the blood, which can easily provoke allergic reactions of any severity, is significantly reduced.

The fat composition of sesame, despite its high calorie content, copes well with excess cholesterol in the bloodstream. Moreover, lovers of sesame seeds not only reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, but also get rid of existing plaques in the vessels. And this is the real prevention of most cardiovascular diseases that torment modern humanity (atherosclerosis, hypertension, etc.).

Sesame seeds contain the rarest antioxidants (sesamin and sesamolin) that slow down the aging of human cells. And in terms of the effectiveness of resisting cancer cells, these substances are almost on a par with modern pharmacological preparations. At the same time, when using sesame and sesame oil, one does not have to fear serious complications and side effects, as is the case with anti-cancer drugs produced by the pharmacological industry.

Both oil and sesame seeds have the ability to improve blood clotting, which is a real find for people suffering from hemorrhagic diathesis.

There is also evidence that sesame oil is great for toothache. To do this, rinse your mouth thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of oil, then spit out the oil and massage your gums. Just do not think that such a procedure will replace your dentist. Dental problems are best dealt with by a specialist.

Appreciate sesame seeds and athletes seeking to build muscle mass, because this product contains a lot of easily digestible protein (about 20%). At the same time, as you know, vegetable protein, unlike animal protein, does not wash out calcium and other minerals from the blood. And this means that the risk of injury when working with large weights at least does not increase, but at the maximum it decreases (read below about the benefits of sesame calcium).

In addition, traditional medicine claims that the beneficial properties of sesame also apply to the thyroid and pancreas, kidneys and liver.

On the other hand, sesame seed is not one of the completely safe products, and its benefits, albeit slightly, are limited by harm ...

Harm of sesame and contraindications to its use

Little is known about the dangers of sesame seeds. Which, given the duration of its use by humans, indicates its high nutritional value. However, sometimes sesame seeds can still be detrimental to health:

With increased blood clotting (see reasons above)

Small children (up to about 3 years old), due to the fact that their body is not yet able to fully break down and utilize fats, the proportion of which in sesame seeds sometimes reaches 50%

The rest simply should not be abused (eat through force), and then sesame will only benefit.

Sesame as a source of calcium

The daily norm of calcium, depending on age, ranges from 1-1.5 grams. This amount is enough for the cells of the body to fully function. The calcium reserve contained in the bones, in this case, remains intact.

100 grams of sesame seeds (unpeeled) contain up to 1.4 grams of calcium, which in most cases covers the daily requirement. It is also important that the calcium in sesame is organic and is absorbed by the human body with a bang.

Thanks to such a rich supply of calcium, sesame can prevent, and in some cases even cure people from osteoporosis and other diseases associated with a lack of calcium in the body.

It is also noteworthy that sesame also helps with fractures, as it significantly accelerates the regeneration of bone tissue (when consumed more than 100 grams per day).

In addition, it is extremely important to understand that calcium is not only about bone strength, but also about health in general, because it is calcium that alkalizes our blood. In turn, this prevents the development of oncology and significantly increases the body's defenses.

It is for this reason that you should try in every possible way to include sesame seeds in your diet.

However, it should be understood that the increased calcium content in sesame seeds is true only for unpeeled seeds. In purified seeds, calcium is 10-12 times less than in whole seeds. And, unfortunately, almost all sesame sold through retail chains is peeled.

On the other hand, sesame is interesting not only for calcium, but also for other useful trace elements, such as iron. After all, a 100-gram serving of sesame almost completely covers the daily need for this metal...

Important! When sesame is heated above 65 ° C, calcium passes into another form and is absorbed ten times worse. Therefore, the maximum benefit can only be extracted from raw sesame seeds.

Now you know everything about the benefits and harms of sesame! More precisely, everything that is required to maintain your body in a healthy state. Therefore, further we propose to consider sesame seed from a slightly different angle - from a culinary ...

The use of sesame in cooking

As mentioned above, Russian culinary specialists use sesame mainly for making pastries and gozinaki. However, we strongly recommend that you do not stop there and master at least a dozen recipes that are not related to rolls, rolls, loaves and bread.

So, for example, sesame milk is extremely useful, which is prepared in just a matter of minutes, but carries great benefits. Sesame milk, if desired, easily turns into “kefir” (within 12 hours in a warm place) and brings even more benefits to our body!

As for the culinary delights of sesame seeds, the most fragrant and delicious is black (unprocessed) sesame. It is ideal for salads. White sesame goes well with fish, meat and poultry.

In addition, sesame is part of many spices used in the East and Asia for all kinds of dishes. And in Korea, sesame is completely mixed with salt, after which it is used as ordinary salt (like our iodized salt).

Helpful advice: for a more complete disclosure of the taste and aroma of sesame seeds, they should be calcined a little separately in a pan, and only then mixed with the rest of the ingredients.

How to take sesame oil?

We figured out what sesame oil is (benefit and harm). How to take it with maximum benefit for the body?

Conclusion

Sesame oil is obtained from raw or roasted sesame seeds. The differences between these species are significant.

Roasted seed oil has a dark golden brown color, attracts with a spicy aroma and frankly stimulates the appetite.
Its counterpart, raw seed oil, varies depending on the preparation method. The unrefined product also has a spicy smell and excellent taste. This oil is obtained by cold pressing, it is desirable to store it in the refrigerator.
After heat treatment (refining), the oil becomes yellow, with a slight nutty aroma. Such oil is stored longer, however, it loses many useful properties for traditional medicine recipes and home cosmetics.

Composition of sesame oil

Like all vegetable oils, sesame oil is a high-calorie product: 884 kcal per 100 gr. product. It is interesting for humans primarily because of the high content of fatty acids. Here are the substances we find in the composition of sesame oil:

Up to 45% omega-6, predominantly linoleic acid;
Up to 42% omega-9, mostly oleic acid;
Up to 15% saturated fatty acids (primarily stearic and palmitic);
Up to 4% lignans and other components.

The structure of fatty acids varies somewhat - depending on the composition of the feedstock.

In addition, the oil contains vitamins (most of all vitamin E) and practically no mineral salts.

It is important to understand that unlike sesame seed, its oil is not a source of calcium and other trace elements, since the pressing technology does not allow metals to pass into oil. Look for calcium in the sesame itself or in sesame paste.

The benefits of sesame oil

Knowing the composition, let's evaluate why certain properties are attributed to this oil.

Lignans and cancer prevention in women and men

Let's start with lignans. Sesamin, sesamol and sesamolin - phenolic compounds of the plant compound - make sesame oil useful for oral use in the prevention of cancer, primarily breast in women and prostate in men.

Today, the estrogenic activity and antioxidant properties of lignans are being actively studied as part of the search for adjuvants for the treatment of many types of cancer, including melanoma.

Omega-6 fatty acids and diseases of civilization

Recall the high content of omega-6-unsaturated fatty acids (up to 45%) and immediately dispel the myth about the benefits of sesame oil instead of sunflower oil. Alas, the significant concentration of omega-6 makes it not the best choice in the daily diet.

Why is this happening? Because of the need to balance the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 in our food. Think! On average, we consume 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids. While the harmonious ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 should not exceed 4:1.

Therefore, we should eat such vegetable oils where the content of linoleic acid does not exceed 30%. Sesame is not one of them, but olive oil is worth a closer look.

Otherwise, we will remain hostages of a dangerous nutritional imbalance in omega-6 - with a catastrophic lack of omega-3. Vascular problems due to progressive atherosclerosis, various oncologies, Parkinson's disease, dementia juvenile, an increasing number of clinical depressions and developmental delays in children - all these formidable conditions are associated with an excess of omega-6 in the diet.

The benefits of sesame oil for the skin of the face and body

The ability to protect us from harmful ultraviolet rays is one of the most sought after healing properties of sesame oil for the skin of the face and body. Photoaging is the main cause of skin fading, reduction and degeneration of harmless moles into malignant neoplasms. That's why sunscreen must be included in your day care products.

Modern cosmetology actively uses sesame oil as a UV filter in the manufacture of natural-based creams. We can use the oil pure or diluted - in the summer on the beach, applying it to the skin during sunbathing.

Effective recipes for home cosmetics

Moisturizes, nourishes, actively regenerates, harmonizes the work of the sebaceous glands and stimulates skin immunity. All these actions are inherent in sesame oil when applied to the surface of the skin.

Among the simple recipes for home cosmetics, the following are most effective:

Soften the skin on the feet: We heat the oil in a water bath to a noticeable warmth and with pushing movements massage the feet with it. From above we put on cotton, and then woolen socks. Such warming at night will positively affect not only the condition of the skin, but also the health of the hormonal system.
Getting rid of superficial wrinkles: Apply the oil to a cotton swab and gently pat your eyelids, face and neck. We leave for 15 minutes, after which we get wet with the remaining oil and go to bed.
We nourish normal and dry skin of the face: unrefined sesame oil is mixed with cocoa powder, applied to the face and kept for a quarter of an hour.
Cleansing oily skin We dilute 3 tablespoons of turmeric with sesame oil - to a thick gruel. With such a mixture, you can massage not only the face, but the whole body, especially the décolleté and, where pustular rashes most often occur with excessive oily skin. At the end of the massage, leave the oil for 5-10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Fight cellulite: active massage techniques with sesame oil and even simple application of it 2 times a day in the morning and evening on problem areas will be effective - for 1 month.

Sesame oil in the treatment of lung diseases

Another recipe from traditional medicine suggests using sesame seed oil for rubbing the chest. The procedure is especially beneficial in chronic lung pathology, helps to thin the sputum and soothes the epigastric.

Rubbed with warm oil. Depending on the purpose of therapy, you can first rub the person, and then do a drainage massage, ending with laying in drainage positions - on both sides for 7-10 minutes. Or time the rubbing to sleep, wrapping the patient in warmth after the procedure.

Sesame oil during pregnancy

Judging by the composition of sesame oil, it does not have significant advantages over sunflower oil, and there are also a lot of calories. Trying to add it to the diet of a pregnant woman is an empty idea when the changes will not bring significant benefits. It is better to pay attention to the sources of omega-3 fatty acids - fresh and high-quality fish oil, purified from mercury.

In addition, sesame oil can be a dangerous product for a woman's kidneys and urinary tract, especially in the third trimester.

Sesame oil on an empty stomach for gastritis and constipation

One of the popular recipes says that sesame oil helps to reduce high acidity when. Natural medicine doctors suggest drinking it before meals, 1 teaspoon 3 times a day, one of which in the morning on an empty stomach.

Similar recommendations can be found for treatment: drink 1 tablespoon of sesame oil - immediately after waking up. It is important to understand that drinking any oil on an empty stomach, and even drinking it with acidified water, we achieve a clear choleretic effect and bring the moment of bowel movement closer.

First of all, it is not the special composition of the oil that works here, but the time and conditions for taking the oily product. However, this method has strict contraindications. You can not drink oil in the morning for those who have gallstones, who suffer from functional reflux or GERD.

Sesame oil: harm and contraindications

Due to the high content of oxalates, both sesame oil and its oil should not be consumed by people prone to kidney stone formation, after operations on the organs of the urinary system, in conditions of an insufficient drinking regimen, during periods of stress with increased sweating.

It is especially dangerous to combine oil with foods that are rich in oxalic acid (green vegetables, parsley, beets, citrus fruits, oatmeal, gooseberries, instant coffee, chocolate, cocoa, etc.). In everyday cuisine, this means that you should not season cucumber salads, beets and any dishes with greens with sesame oil.

In addition, oxalate restriction may be indicated:

With a delay in speech development in children
In the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy
In old age
Against the background of taking certain medications (aspirin, groprinosin, etc.).

We hope that the information we have collected has clarified the main issues, what are the benefits and harms of sesame oil and helped to figure out how beneficial it is for you and your loved ones to take it.

The product clearly stands out among other vegetable oils: nutty taste, spicy notes of aroma, easy digestibility and beneficial effect on the human body.

pomace types

There are three popular types of sesame oil on the market today:

unrefined from raw sesame;
unrefined from roasted sesame;
unrefined black sesame.

All three species are edible. They differ in their taste. The most fragrant and bright in taste is the pomace of white roasted sesame seeds. Such oil perfectly complements and enriches the taste of familiar dishes: vegetable salads, casseroles and even mashed potatoes.

Raw sesame pomace is considered more useful, since the raw material for its production does not undergo heat treatment, which means it retains a maximum of useful properties.

Black sesame oil is in the middle between those listed above in terms of aroma and taste. The same oil is considered the most useful, and black sesame is one of the most expensive types.

About the culinary meaning

Any sesame oil will be an excellent addition to the daily diet as a source of easily digestible polyunsaturated fats, minerals and other biologically active substances. Due to the thermal instability of its chemical compounds, it is impossible to fry in sesame oil. In addition, unlike sunflower oil, avocado and olive oil, it starts to burn at fairly low temperatures, which can spoil the taste of the dish.

Sesame oil is best added to ready-made salads, cereals, pasta, pasta, first courses. It will give the most vivid taste when added just before serving.

Baking with sesame oil acquires original taste. The product should replace other fats - sunflower, butter, margarine. In contrast, sesame pomace has an impressive shelf life - up to two years. It is worth using sesame oil in cooking for people who follow strict diets or dietary restrictions due to religion or lifestyle. In this case, the product will increase the energy and nutritional value of other foods.

What does sesame juice contain?

The oil is extracted from sesame seeds, which are 60% fat. This provides impressive volumes of the final product. The very name of the seeds - sesame - means oily. The pomace stands out from the background of all other vegetable oils by the content of useful natural components. The chemical composition of the product is balanced, and it is also very well absorbed by the body, which is the reason for the benefits of sesame oil.

Fatty acid

The main medicinal ingredients of pomace are polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are represented by linoleic and oleic acids, from the omega-6 and omega-9 series. These compounds in the human body are transformed into an active form, providing a number of specific actions:

improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system;
reduce cholesterol levels;
normalize the elasticity of blood vessels;
regulate the work of the endocrine system;
normalize the balance of sex hormones;
reduce blood sugar levels;
stimulate fat metabolism;
strengthen immunity;
prevent malignant diseases;
neutralize the negative impact of harmful factors;
accelerate regenerative processes;
rejuvenate the body at the cellular level.

vitamins

The reason for the internal and external use of oil in order to improve the appearance is the content of an antioxidant complex, including retinol, tocopherol, and ascorbic acid. This complex improves the functioning of the immune system, normalizes regenerative processes in the body, and also participates in the processes of humoral regulation. It is also important to combine the mentioned nutrients with B vitamins, as well as rutin. It has a positive effect on the health of the visual apparatus, improves twilight vision, increases its sharpness, and also prevents eye complications of vascular diseases.

Micro and macro elements

Sesame oil is considered one of the saturated mineral compounds. It contains substances that are equally necessary for women and men:

calcium;
magnesium;
potassium;
zinc;
phosphorus;
iron;
selenium.

Calcium is an essential mineral for the human body. Its importance is high not only for teeth and bones. Calcium ions are active participants in electrolyte metabolism, which ensures the transmission of nerve impulses, contraction of smooth and striated muscles. Zinc and selenium are necessary to keep the skin clear and the internal metabolic processes at the highest level. Iron is very important for blood formation. The ability of sesame oil to normalize the rheological properties of blood and its composition has been scientifically proven.

Hormone-like substances

Important biologically active substances in sesame oil are phytosterols. These are hormone-like components of plant origin that regulate the hormonal background in the body and compensate for the deficiencies of some hormones. The second category of compounds most important for humans are phospholipids. Their role in the body:

absorption of antioxidants in the body;
activation of the work of the humoral system of regulation;
cleaning and improving the functioning of the liver;
normalization of the state of blood vessels;
improving the conductivity of nerve fibers;
activation of mental activity.

Substances characteristic only for sesame - sesamol and sesamin, are involved in the synthesis of sex hormones, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. The so-called T-factor was also found in the composition of the oil. This is a substance of an unknown nature that can improve the production of platelets in the bone marrow, which allows the use of the product in thrombocytopenia.
