We all have that one product which adds a little extra something to our favorite recipes.
Admittedly, I have quite a few, but Dr. Mercola’s Mitomix Seed Blend is something I always end up coming back to.
Not only does it add a little kick to my cooking, but it is also specifically designed to complement a ketogenic diet and has a ton of health benefits.
Here are great reasons to try Mitomix:
It’s great for the gut.
Many people -paleo or not- struggle to reach their recommended 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day which wreaks havoc on the digestive system. The Mitomix blend contains whole husk psyllium and chia seeds which both promote regularity and overall gut health to keep everything moving exactly how it should!
Whole husk seed also acts as a prebiotic which helps your body in the absorption of nutrients and immune function.
It’s rich in antioxidants
Antioxidants play an essential part in protecting our bodies from attack. Not only can they boost immunity, but they’re also known to lessen the risk of developing diseases and can even slow down the aging process. Cool, right?
Mitomix is full of flax seeds which are the richest dietary source of plant compounds that act like antioxidants, lignan precursors.
There’s also a whole load of black sesame seeds and black cumin seeds in there. Black cumin seeds contain thymoquinone, which searches for destructive reactive oxygen species and free radicals to protect the body.
It’s the perfect source of plant omega-3 fats
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to prevent heart disease and strokes as well as control eczema and rheumatoid arthritis. They also provide a starting point for the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction, and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. High levels of omega 3 fats are found in flax seeds and hulled hemp seeds, both of which are part of the Mitomix family.
It keeps you satisfied for longer
Keeping at a steady and healthy weight is much easier when your body feels satiated after meals. Adding a sprinkling of this mix to smoothies, salads and even meat marinades (hint: see our paleo ‘breaded’ pork chops recipe) makes food that little bit more filling to keep your stomach happy and your body energized. Plus, a little scoop of this mix contains fewer calories than what you would eat while snacking.
It’s a good source of magnesium
Our bodies need magnesium for so many processes. Regulating blood sugar levels, making protein, regulating blood pressure, metabolizing food… you name it, it needs magnesium. Luckily for us (you guessed it), black sesame seeds are a fantastic source of this all-important micromineral which keeps our bodies in perfect form.
It’s SUPER CLEAN, Non-GMO, Soy Free, Gluten Free, USDA Organic!
So, if having a clean eating option is as essential to you as it is us then you will definitely want to make sure you get your hands on a bag! With it being Non-GMO, Soy Free, Gluten FREE, and all USDA Certified Organic this makes a hands-down easy choice for us. Plus, it makes you feel good to know the high quality you are putting in your body.
