A supply of vitamins and Omega 3
A useful aid in this season is represented by Sesame: as early as the sixth century BC Assyrians were using its oil as an ointment, as a condiment and as a tonic medicine for injuries. Its healing properties are due to the significant amount of vitamins and linoleic acid it contains: this good fat, which protects the heart and circulation, also it has the amazing ability to take action on the metabolism of the subcutaneous cellular tissue, thus nourishing the skin and making it so protected and elastic. Furthermore, if we assume the sesame oil (but also its seeds) as a food supplement, it also improves the resistance of the mucous membrane attack from viruses and bacteria. Vitamin E, for its part, improves hydration of the skin and protects against weathering and smog, which tends to increase in autumn. Having strong antioxidant capacity, this vitamin is able to counteract the formation of free radicals during exposure to ultraviolet rays, thus preventing wrinkles, sun spots, dermatitis and hyper pigmentation.

The sesame oil contains eight essential amino acids important, as well as for the epidermal health, also for the metabolism of brain tissues, that this month are put to the test by the recovery stress. It is also a good practice to use the seeds as seasoning instead of salt: just toast them lightly in a pan and mix with chopped herbs to achieve a natural flavor enhancer super-rich in minerals, which also reinforces the "hard tissue" of the body such as the bones and nails.
