Potential Benefits: Sesame may help modestly lower blood pressure and blood sugar, support heart health by improving cholesterol profiles, and provide significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, with emerging research showing neuroprotective potential against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
