Hemp Foods and Oils Primer

While the world is rediscovering hemp, people are discovering the nutritive powers of hemp foods and oils. High in complete protein and bountiful in essential fatty acids, hemp foods and oils are changing the way people eat.

Good Balance

Consuming a "well-balanced" diet requires a proper amount of the three different food categories:

CARBOHYDRATES
PROTEINS
FATS

MANITOBA HARVEST^TM Hemp Foods & Oils offer a high quality of each of these food categories in a balance suitable for life long consumption.

A Primer on Fat

Probably the most misunderstood of the food categories is fat. Fat is an essential part of a well-rounded and healthy diet. The major components of fats are short chain molecules known as fatty acids. All fatty acids are classified according to their carbon-hydrogen makeup into three categories;

The human body is capable of recognizing and utilizing all of these types of fatty acids, but for optimum health, 60-80% of the intake should be polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Essential Fats

Specifically, there are twenty(20) different types of fatty acids that the human body needs for optimum health. It can manufacture all but two(2) of these twenty. These two must be obtained from the diet and are known as the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs); OMEGA-6 Linoleic Acid (LA) and OMEGA-3 Linolenic Acid (LNA).

The Essential Fatty Acid Ratio

For optimum health, these two EFA's need to be consumed in a certain ratio. Recommendations for the optimum health ratio of OMEGA-6 to OMEGA-3 fatty acids in the human diet have been formulated by the World Health Organization, Sweden and Japan. The average recommended ratio is 4:1.



MANITOBA HARVEST Hemp Seed Oil has a natural 3.75:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio!

The Superfat

MANITOBA HARVEST Hemp Seed Oil also contains the super polyunsaturated fatty acid Gamma-Linolenic Acid(GLA)



GLA is an important step in the body's production of prostaglandin which helps maintain hormonal balance. The human body is normally able to metabolize GLA from the EFAs. A diet high in saturated and hydrogenated fats, a lifestyle filled with stress, and aging, will all block this metabolic process.Thus consuming GLA is vital to bypassing these GLA metabolism blockages.

The Unhealthy Fat

The unhealthiest fat to eat is a polyunsaturate which has been heated past 360 F. It is at this temperature that a polyunsaturated fatty acid will change it's shape from a "cis" to a "trans" configuration.



This "unhealthy fat", when absorbed into the cell, disrupts normal cellular functions and hinders metabolic activities. Many deep-fried foods and hydrogenated oils contain this fat

Comparison of Dietary Fats



Essential Amino Acids

Proteins in the body serve many functions, acting as enzymes, antibodies and structural components of tissues and hormones. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids and the main function of dietary protein is to supply amino acids for the growth and maintenance of the body tissue. Ten of the twenty amino acids are considered essential for life because the human body cannot manufacture them. When a food contains all ten essential amino acids, it is referred to as a complete protein.

Many plant proteins are labeled "incomplete" proteins resulting from the low amounts of one or more of the ten essential amino acids. Truth be told, the "incomplete" label is somewhat misleading as all plant proteins do contain each of the essential amino acids. But in most cases (e.g. grains, legumes), levels of one or more amino acids are insufficient for human needs. However, hemp protein supplies enough of each of the essential amino acids to contribute to the human body's requirements. In fact, an important aspect of hemp protein is that it is a quality source of the amino acids arginine and histidine, both of which are important for growth during childhood, and of the sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine, both of which are needed in the production of vital enzymes. Hemp protein also contains relatively high levels of the branched chain amino acids that are crucial in the repair and growth of lean body mass, making hemp protein a worthwhile investment.

THE OIL COMPONENT CONSISTS OF PREFERRED RATIOS OF ALL ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA’S):

With 78% essential fats, hemp oil greatly exceeds soy oil @ 40%, canola oil @30%, olive oil @ 10% and other oils.

Hemp oil contains more "Omega 3" EFA components (19%) than are found in any fish and in most fish-oil supplements.

Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats may reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, coronary heart disease and stroke.

The ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 EFA’s in hemp oil is thought to be the best in nature for promoting cellular health.

In reducing inflammation, hemp foods may be beneficial to those with arthritis, eczema, psoriasis -- even tuberculosis.

In improving circulation and reducing inflammation, hemp products may be particularly beneficial for diabetics.

As a rare source of GLA, hemp foods may be beneficial to those too ill to synthesize this EFA from other fats.

Hemp oil contains plant sterols which may reduce the risk of colon and prostate cancer.

Are you concerned about your health?

About high cholesterol, high blood pressure or potential heart disease?

About poor circulation - possibly resulting from Diabetes, possibly related to the inflammation of veins and arteries that have lost elasticity?

Do you suffer from the inflammatory aspects of arthritis or other diseases?

Are you concerned that a sluggish digestive system may lead to intestinal disease?

Are you concerned about your weight or your lack of
resistance to infectious disease?

Do you need more energy?

If you are middle-aged or older and if you have noticed that your health is deteriorating gradually, you are probably eating too much carbohydrates, too much sugar and too much saturated fat. An excess of potatoes, pasta, breads and rice, often sweetened and consumed with saturated fats, usually results in diets low in fruits, vegetables, proteins and essential fats (Omega 3 and 6) and usually results in premature health failure.

This is not a secret: After your health has deteriorated seriously, and your doctor finally diagnoses you with Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Celiacs Disease, Crones Disease, Obesity, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and other late onset health condidtions, he will tell you to eat less sugar, carbohydrates and saturated fats - and more protein and essential fats.

Improve your life NOW: A breakfast of four heaping tablespoons of Hemp Hearts, usually eaten raw on fruit or oatmeal, will change your life and benefit your health - from the first day! (Modify serving sizes and meal frequencies for diabetics and others with special needs)
