The Benefits Of Hemp

Hemp was the first plant known to have been domestically cultivated and the oldest relic of human history is hemp fabric dated to 8,000 BC from an area which now forms part of present-day Turkey.  Hemp seed and hemp protein has been used for as long as recorded history can show for food, fuel, fiber, and health supplements.As those in the health profession are increasingly turning away from chemically based medication, looking towards alternative health products and natural supplements to treat a range of conditions, hemp looks set for a mass resurgence.Hemp is an extremely versatile natural food and can used in many different ways for different health benefits, for example health professionals often recommend hemp oil over other oils for reducing symptoms of eczema, cardiovascular, and the menopause.  Justin Blair, Director of Creative Nature, one of the leading suppliers of health supplements and energy products, said, “Hemp seed oil has been used as an important health supplement for centuries and is particularly good for reducing cholesterol profiles, and ultimately helping to reduce the risk of heart disease.“Many natural supplements are in fact more effective than their chemical counterparts, and this is being increasingly realised, not just by patients but by the medical profession, and as such substances such as hemp are coming back into the public domain.”Creative Nature supply a variety of natural health products and supplements including many hemp based remedies.  Their hemp seed products are high in amino acids, vital for the immune system, and also contain oils vital for healthy hair, skin, eyes and even mental wellbeing. Similarly, the Canadian Hemp Protein Powder is packed full of antioxidants and Omega 3, as well as being a great source of protein.  Hemp protein powders are quickly becoming the protein supplement of choice for many top athletes. At around 50% protein, Hemp powder supersedes meat (typically between 15-30% protein) as a source of protein, making it a valuable dietary supplement for active sportsmen. Unlike nuts, grains and pulses, Hemp powder also contains the essential amino acids necessary for protein absorption. Much healthier than Whey Protein, Hemp protein is much lighter and easier on the digestive system than its dairy based alternative.Hemp is one of the most sustainable crops on the planet and because it is essentially a weed, requires no harmful pesticides or agrochemicals to grow. If you would like to do your bit for the planet and have a stunning physique for the summer then you could do a lot worse than incorporating Hemp Protein into your diet!   Creative Nature also stock a wide range of natural supplements including anti-ageing products, herbal teas, and energy products.
