“I have to exercise constantly these day in order to not get fat but this is wasting my muscles instead of toning them as I am low in protein”

“Cardio” exercise, like running, walking, cycling, etc. will not build the kind of strength one needs in muscle. Strength building from weight resistance will build muscle instead of wasting it. It takes far less time to build strong muscles lifting heavy weights slowly a few times a week than it does to burn excess calories with aerobic exercise/cardio workouts. Strong muscles are key for good health, longevity, balance, weight control, and much more.

Aging and elderly people are especially prone to muscle wasting/loss of strength due to low protein intake and lack of strength building exercise. It becomes a perpetual cycle and results in lack of “reserves” if illness or accidents occur.

Processed protein powders may not be the way to go where hemp is concerned, but plain hempseed (hull removed, of course- they call it “hearts”) is a nice food. They say it has no phytic acid or phytates or whatever you call it. No one is saying it is to be used as a sole source of nutrition. It has a good Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. It is a fine supplemental food, not something one consumes by the bucket.

Hi Sally.
Let me just say that I love NT and have tried lots of the recipes. I do have a query about the use of sesame seed oil. I am a Nutrition and Herbs student as well as studying Tibetan medicine where sesame oil is spoken of highly and from what I gather has been used for a long time. They deep fry bread in it to make it palatable then drink it and it is said to aid in phlegmatic conditions.
It is also applied topically to increase flesh in skinny people or reduce it in those with thick flesh. I have also read in Chinese texts that it is the most absorbable by skin than any other oil.
However, in NT is is said to be high in Omega 6 and so not suitable for “exclusive use”. I would like to add it to my body oil formula for long term use and wonder what your thoughts on this are.
