The Benefits of Sacha Inchi Oil

The Sacha Inchi plant also known as Plukenetia Volubilis is a edible seeds that are high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acid, protein and other nutrients including vitamin E and beta-sitosterol.


Despite being a fairly recent discovery in the health community of the United States, sacha inchi has been cultivated and used as a food source for 3,000 years in the Amazon rainforest. The fruit that these seeds grow in is inedible, but when lightly roasted with low heat the seeds take on a crisp nutty flavor. Moreover, Sacha Inchi is said to offer a variety of benefits.

Some proponents claim that eating Sacha Inchi will help you lose weight by reducing excess abdominal fat. In addition, Sacha Inchi is said to help with cholesterol reduction, heart disease preventation, and diabetes control.


This superfood is easily digested and unlikely to cause allergies or irritation. The oil is also available. It has a similar flavor to olive oil, just slightly lighter and nuttier, but it contains more protein and omega 3,6 & 9.

The following is the benefits of Sacha Inchi Oil:

  • Cholesterol
    Sacha inchi lowers LDL and raises HDL cholesterol. Cholesterol levels may not be the biggest marker for cardiovascular problems we once thought them to be, but they are still a concern and can reflect dietary problems and genetic dispositions toward some diseases.

  • Well Being
    These seeds contain a good amount of tryptophan, a precursor for serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good hormone and neurotransmitter that helps us deal with stress and feel calm and happy. The omega 3 also reduces inflammation in the brain, which can cause mood shifts, headaches, and more.

  • Weight Loss
    Higher serotonin levels, thanks to the tryptophan, also regulate appetite so we don’t get cravings, overeat, or snack more than we need to.

  • Brain Health
    The majority of our brain is composed of fat. We need good, healthy fats to resupply those cells and to continually fight inflammation. Inflammation in the brain can cause depression, fatigue, memory issues, and exaggerated responses to pain.

  • Heart Health
    Sacha inchi improves circulation while lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation throughout the body. All of this makes for a healthier, happier, less stressed cardiovascular system, from arteries to heart and beyond.

  • Bone Health
    Omega 3s help the body absorb calcium. Foods rich in omega 3 improve bone density, staving off some of the deterioration that occurs as we age.

  • Joint Health
    The anti-inflammatory nature of sacha inchi may make it a good supplement to ease joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis. Consider combining sacha inchi oil with ginger for even more benefits.

  • Vision
    The vitamin E, vitamin A, and omegas in sacha inchi can improve vision and maintain eye health. Like the brain, the eyes rely on a good amount of fat, and are prone to inflammatory damage, especially as we get older.

  • Diabetes
    Omega 3 helps control glucose levels. Many doctors and researchers argue that omega 3 may actually reduce insulin resistance in those with type 2 diabetes. Omega 3 also lowers triglyceride levels, which are often high in diabetics.

Why is a Healthy Breakfast the Most Important Meal of the Day?

Image taken from Google Did you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Eating breakfast are more likely to participate in physical activities.   Have you ever wondered when is the best time to eat breakfast? The best time to have breakfast is within two hours after waking up. Having breakfast after you wake up is better for your metabolism and decreasing appetite throughout the day.   Skipping breakfast may (to some people) deplete energy levels and productivity. In my opinion, everyone has a different type of body metabolism. Research shows that the body’s energy source is glucose . Glucose is broken down and absorbed from the carbohydrates you eat. The body stores most of its energy as fat. But your body also stores some glucose as glycogen, most of it in your liver, with smaller amounts in your muscles. During times of fasting (not eating), such as overnight, the liver breaks down glycogen and releases it into your bloodstream as glucose to keep your b...
