Yourwellness Magazine outlined seven major health benefits of mustard:
1. Lowers temperature. The myrosin and sinigrin found in mustard generate heat, which speeds up metabolism, increases blood flow and, as a result, causes sweat.
2. Stimulates the digestive system. As mustard is hot and spicy, it stimulates the secretion of saliva, which aids the digestion process.
3. Prevents cancer. In black and brown mustard, there are isothiocyanates, which have been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
4. Improves skin. The sulphur in mustard can be very beneficial for treating skin ailments.
5. Relieves inflammatory diseases. The anti-inflammatory properties of mustard can help to reduce the severity of asthma, migraines or rheumatoid arthritis.
6. Enhances heart health. Mustard greens and seeds contain magnesium, which is very effective against high blood pressure.
7. Protects the brain. The high levels of magnesium and selenium found in mustard seeds make them very effective against age-related memory disorders like Alzheimer’s.
