Benefits for the Skin and Hair

Buckwheat is supercharged with B complex vitamins including thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), and folate (B9). These vitamins work both synergistically and individually to promote healthy skin and strong hair. In addition, the rutin in buckwheat has strong antioxidant properties which can help keep premature wrinkles at bay.

But these are not buckwheat's only benefits for the skin and hair. This unsung superfood is also a wonderful source of high-quality protein which is crucial for normal hair growth. The protein in buckwheat contains essential amino acids which are needed for healthy keratin production. Keratin, a fibrous protein, is the main structural constituent of hair and nails.

Skin Benefits of Buckwheat

Skin problems are a major cause of concern in the present scenario. Proper supply of nutrients to the body is essential for healthy and radiant skin. The quality of skin largely depends upon genetic factors, but it is also influenced by environmental factors to a significant extent such as exposure to pollution, level of stress, lifestyle etc. Being a powerhouse of nutrients, buckwheat has an important role to play in skin health.

Skin Health

The high rutin content in buckwheat acts as a natural sunscreen and protects the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. The rich blend of antioxidants and flavonoids also help in preventing signs of ageing, like fine lines and wrinkles. Magnesium found in buckwheat boosts blood circulation and gives the skin a radiant glow.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect the body from the harmful effects of by-products known as free radicals, made normally when the body changes oxygen and food into energy. The discovery of antioxidants raised hopes that people could slow ageing simply by adding them to the diet. So far, studies of antioxidant-laden foods and supplements in humans have yielded little support for this conclusion. Further research, including large-scale epidemiological studies, might clarify whether dietary antioxidants can help people live longer, healthier lives. For now, although the effectiveness of dietary antioxidant supplementation remains controversial, there is positive evidence for the health benefits of fruits and vegetables.

Hair Benefits of Buckwheat

Healthy hair greatly enhances the appearance of an individual and is often a source of admiration. But in the present scenario, there are several hair problems ranging from hair loss, split ends, dandruff, hair thinning and alopecia. Just like skin, proper supply of essential nutrients is extremely important for strengthening the hair follicles and maintaining healthy and damage free hair. Buckwheat contains some of the essential nutrients that are beneficial for hair health.

Helps Hair Growth:

Buckwheat contains 75% of complex carbohydrates. Whole grain-carbohydrates are good for proper growth of hair. Buckwheat is rich in vitamin A, B-complex vitamins and zinc, making it highly conducive for hair growth.

Improves Hair Health:

Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is vital for hair growth and health. Being soluble in water, this vitamin cannot be stored in the body. It has to be replenished from some food source or supplement. Buckwheat is a great source of vitamin B6
