Coriander seeds have been hailed as one of the best ingredients for many dishes. But this seed is not just some sweet-smelling pretty face. Coriander seeds are known to be one of the best natural medications for many disorders. You can even rely on coriander seeds to help you with nausea and anxiety. You can use coriander seeds directly, or you can use them to make Coriander water. Either way, you can rely on coriander to help you with your much-beloved fitness. Here are the other salient health and fitness benefits you can get with coriander seeds.
Supports digestive function
It is said that a person’s mood depends on how well their stomach is. Truly enough, who would want to smile when they have to rush for nature’s call every few minutes or have to wait all day long for the big one? I hope you understand what we are speaking about here.
One of the most common problems today is irregular bowel movement and indigestion. Be it for lack of healthy options or just lust for crispy crust cheese burst pizzas (among other things); you cannot neglect your digestive system. It is an important part of your body.
If you suffer from poor digestion, then coriander garnished food can be of great help. Besides giving your taste buds a really good time, coriander helps promote digestive functions. Coriander seeds are rich in fiber and minerals. They contain minerals like iron and manganese. These are what help in improving your digestive system.
Because it is a source of fiber, coriander seeds are not digested fully. Yet they help in improving your digestive functions. For better bowel movement and digestive health, be sure to use coriander in your daily meal.
Eye Problems
How many people in your home or office wear specs? If your answer is less than 30%, then you really live in a good place. And what about you? Do you have contacts or specs? Yes/No? If your answer is “yes”, then coriander seeds are for you. If your answer is “no”, you should consider coriander regardless to avoid that.
Perhaps you can pull off the look, the cutesy-dorky-nerdy or serious-focused look. But as they say, once a blessing, twice a curse. Ask the ones who have to wear them the trouble they have to bear to maintain their specs.
Soak a few coriander seeds in water overnight. Make a paste out of the seeds in the morning and as for the water, drink it. The paste you make can work wonders for your eyesight. Studies have shown that coriander paste can help relax your eyes.
Coriander also has proven to be quite effective in conjunctivitis. If you do not know what conjunctivitis is, it is an eye disorder that results in the inflammation of the conjunctiva of your eyes. Coriander can help cure conjunctivitis naturally. Who would want to waste money on costly eye drop when there is such a low-cost, effective natural remedy?
Helps Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for your body. Up till this point, you might have had to hear this statement for like a million times already. But, where to get this D, Vitamin D (ahem…)? Elementary science books mention “You can get Vitamin D from the sun”. Well, you can get a lot more from the sun now — an unwanted tan and melanoma courtesy of the ozone hole.
Vitamin D cannot be directly absorbed by our bodies. It needs help. Help from Vitamin K. Speaking of Vitamin K, have you heard that Coriander Seeds are rich in Vitamin K? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin whose effects are reduced by metals like mercury and lead. Coriander helps in removing these harmful minerals from our bodies.
