Keeping gray hair at bay using Nigella Satvia

Adding a few drops of black seed oil to your shampoo is a great way to keep your scalp in good condition. Maintaining a clean and healthy scalp helps to support hair growth. 

If you want a more intensive treatment, wash your hair then rub a mix of organic olive oil and black seed oil into your scalp. Leave it on for at least an hour and rinse it off. Many users swear that these oils help to keep gray hairs at bay and greatly slows hair loss. 

Using black seed oil as an anti-aging skin tonic

Using Nigella Satvia to stay strong and healthy

All of the above suggestions are about improving the way you look. However, the key to aging well is staying fit and healthy. Nigella Satvia can help you to do that.

Nigella Satvia reduces the rate of cell damage

Studies have shown that Nigella Satvia reduces the rate of lipid peroxidization within organisms. To help you to understand why this is important let us first explain what lipid peroxidization is and its impact on how much you age.

 

Lipid peroxidization is a process that occurs within your body. During the process, free radicals leach away some of the electrons that are a component of the lipids within each cell membrane. 

When this happens, the affected cells are damaged, which contributes to the aging process. Clearly, anything you can do to reduce cell damage within your body will help you to age at a slower rate. Therefore, it makes sense to reduce the rate of lipid peroxidization within your body as much as possible.

Potential health benefits of Nigella Satvia

We have already mentioned the connection between aging well and staying active. Numerous studies have shown that people who stay busy and regularly take part in physical activities live longer lives and stay healthy for a bigger percentage of their life.

The right dose of Nigella Satvia can help you to control your appetite. This makes it easier to stay at a healthy weight and remain active. One study looked at whether taking black cumin seed regularly could help obese men. The results were interesting; they lost a significant amount of weight and many of the men said they felt more energetic as well.

Nigella Satvia has been shown to be a great anti-inflammatory. As a result, it can reduce the symptoms of conditions like arthritis. This means that suffers feel better and find it easier to stay mobile. They can enjoy more activities and therefore are better able to stay fit and healthy and hold back the years.
