Effects of Perilla Seed Oil.

1. Improve human immunity

Perilla seed oil contains a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids, of which linolenic acid and linoleic acid are essential fatty acids for the human body. The human body cannot synthesize them by itself and can only be absorbed through food. If these two fatty acids are lacking for a long time, it will lead to various symptoms such as reduced immunity, insomnia, and susceptibility to illness.

The α-linolenic acid in perilla seed oil can prevent or improve autoimmune diseases. It can accelerate the metabolism of "autoreactive T cells", thereby improving the body's immunity, promoting normal body functions, and counteracting autoimmunity. disease.

2. Prevent arteriosclerosis

Research shows that perilla oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid. After alpha-linolenic acid enters the human body, it can be converted into EPA. EPA can inhibit the aggregation and deposition of platelets and prevent thrombosis; it can reduce cholesterol levels; it can enhance the toughness and elasticity of blood vessel walls; it can inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and prevent the formation of atherosclerosis. Perilla oil is also rich in vitamin E, which can prevent lipid peroxidation in the body and maintain blood vessel elasticity. Therefore, perilla seed oil can prevent hardening of arteries, reduce blood viscosity, and promote blood circulation.

3. Anti-cancer and anti-cancer

The high content of α-linolenic acid in perilla oil can reduce the amount of linoleic acid absorbed by cancer cells from the blood, forcing cancer cells to lose an important nutrient. α-linolenic acid can compete for the metabolism of cancer cells. The required enzyme, alpha-linolenic acid, makes the cell membranes of cancer cells more unsaturated, which can promote the natural death of cancer cells and slow down the development of cancer.

4. Delay aging

Alpha-linolenic acid in perilla oil inhibits aging and even reverses the aging process by quickly and greatly increasing the activity of sod and reducing the amount of free radical metabolite mda. Generally speaking, alpha-linolenic acid can enhance the skin activity of cells , effectively eliminate skin spots, leaving the skin in a tight, plump and shiny state.

5. Brain-building and intelligence-enhancing

Perilla seed oil is rich in α-linolenic acid. α-linolenic acid is one of the important substances for brain development. It is a nutritional factor necessary to maintain the function of the brain and nerves. It is an essential substance for brain formation and IQ development. That is to say The raw material needed for the growth of nerves in our brain is linolenic acid, and the energy needed by nerves and neurons is provided by linolenic acid. The intake of α-linolenic acid can promote the development of brain cells and the improvement of brain functions, and is conducive to improving brain memory and thinking ability, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence.
