Anti-Inflammatory and Cardiovascular Benefits from Sunflower Seeds' Vitamin E

Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E, the body's primary fat-soluble

antioxidant. Vitamin E travels throughout the body neutralizing free radicals that would

otherwise damage fat-containing structures and molecules, such as cell membranes, brain cells,

and cholesterol. By protecting these cellular and molecular components, vitamin E has

significant anti-inflammatory effects that result in the reduction of symptoms in asthma,

osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, conditions where free radicals and inflammation play a

big role. Vitamin E has also been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer, help decrease the

severity and frequency of hot flashes in women going through menopause, and help reduce the

development of diabetic complications.
