Sesame is black and white, black sesame can be eaten and used as medicine, and white sesame is the staple food.

" According to modern pharmacological analysis, sesame contains fat, sucrose, pentosan, lecithin, protein, sesamin, sesamol and vitamin E, among which the content of vitamin E ranks first among many foods.

Vitamin E can enhance the cell division of embryonic tissues and delay the aging of human cells. Scientists have found that in the process of life activities, fat metabolism is easily decomposed into lipid peroxide, which is not only an important factor to promote arteriosclerosis, heart, lung, liver, kidney and other important tissues and organs damage, but also one of the factors to induce cancer. Lipid peroxide can also destroy the structure of cell biofilm and accelerate the aging and degeneration of tissues and cells, so some people call lipid peroxide a "mysterious aging substance". Vitamin E has a strong antioxidant effect, which can prevent excessive free oxidation of fat, effectively protect the biofilm of tissues and cells, and delay cell aging. Vitamin E can also improve the blood circulation of peripheral blood vessels, enhance the blood nutrition supply of various tissues and cells, improve the immune function of the body, protect the human body from environmental pollution, and resist the harm of toxic substances to human tissues and cells. This is where sesame has anti-aging and longevity effects.
