Did you Know that plant like the amaranth? Heard something? And I know that it is just incredibly useful for the human body?

Amaranth – flower of the future

So, the ancient Incas and Aztecs cultivated this plant, along with corn and stevia. Amaranth seeds were eaten by Indians. Recognizing the healing power of flower, they called it a “Golden seeds, sent by God”. But the conquistadors conquered South America, imposed a strict ban on the cultivation of such plants as amaranth. The flower was gone into oblivion. And all because of the fact that the figures of the pagan gods of the Aztecs and Incas were sculpted from dough made from amaranth flour. But after the Millennium, flowers amaranth (the photo you see below) re-gaining its position in agriculture.amaranth flower

Plants

Amaranth is an ornamental plant with bright purple flowers hanging down like tongues of flame. A tall plant reaches a meter in height, and sometimes more. Translates the name "amaranth" as “the unfading flower”.

Amaranth - flower-doctor

Why this plant became popular again? All because its seeds and leaves contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, such as stearic, palmitic, linoleic, arachidonic, oleic acid. I want to reiterate linoleic acid, in the plant it contains up to 50%. This acid is not synthesized in the body, therefore must come from food. Seed oil 2% consist of vitamin E in a particularly active form. But the most valuable is that amaranth contains squalene from 5 to 15 %. It is truly a magical substance is present in large quantities in shark liver. And squalene content of amaranth has no equal. Squalene is used as an antitumor agent and as an immunostimulant. In cosmetics for preventing wrinkles apply amaranth oil. Squalene is in the luxury anti-aging cosmetics. But not only seeds are valuable in this plant: the leaves and stems have not less advantage. If you have a headache or you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown, drink tea brewed from the leaves of amaranth. It is also useful to take this infusion in diabetes mellitus and for the prevention of cancer.flowers amaranth photo
