Question 1

what is cucumber seed good for?

Accepted Answer

You decide: Like all living things, cucumber seeds contain a huge number of substances some of which do things to cells in tissue cultures and so forth. And like everything else it has some vitamins and minerals in it. I would caution you against using this or any other supplement for a specific purpose, especially if you are actually sick. It's your money.

Question 2

are raspberry seeds good for you?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Raspberries are a natural fruit though and would be part of a healthy and balanced diet to be sure. 

For overall health, it is probably more important to focus on a well-balanced, low fat and low calorie diet and regular physical activity rather than new and fad diets and supplements.

Question 3

what is a good way to incorporate flax seed in the diet ?

Accepted Answer

Flax seed: You can use flax seed oil in dressings and toss flax seeds onto salads or other dishes.

Question 4

are sesame seeds good or bad?  if yes what is it's benefit?

Accepted Answer

Neither.: They are both good and bad and part of a healthy diet.  Don't eat too much or too little of anything.  By the way, if you have no heart disease, don't smoke and do not have diabetes, the absolute benefit of taking crestor (rosuvastatin) is probably pretty small no matter how high your CHOL.  Might want to look at the framingham risk calculator and discuss with your doc.

Question 5

i was wondering is flax seed a good recovery food for after a workout?

Accepted Answer

No magic: Have yourself around 20 grams of lean protein instead. Ignore all you hear about 'superfoods'. Very glad you're working out. It's a wonderful gift to yourself that gives benefits that can't be bought for any amount of money.

Question 6

are pumpkin seed good for me?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

are rock melon seeds good for health?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Although people do eat melon seeds, I could find no data on health benefits of eating honey rock melon seeds.

Question 8

are chia seeds good for lowering cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Any seed helps: Seeds are rich in unsaturated fats. Diets that contain a lot of  these fats tend to decrease bad LDL cholesterol and increase good HDL cholesterol. This would be true for diets that contain chia seeds as well as those that contain other forms of seeds or nuts or vegetable oils. Be aware that the magnitude of the change in cholesterol is not generally large and so medication may still be needed.

Question 9

what are "good fats"?

Accepted Answer

Unsaturated: The weight of opinion is that a diet high in saturated fat increases LDL cholesterol / vascular risk (heart attack, stroke). Epidemiologic studies especially based on what people say they've eaten and without controlling for other factors generate unreliable results; this is "best current thinking." trans-fats are generally no longer available over concerns about risk despite no real animal model.

Question 10

how good is lipotrim?

Accepted Answer

Not very effective: Most of these diet products do not work well, the most effective way to loose weight and keep it off is a good balanced diet, moderation of potions, regular exercise, and life style changes.
