1- Strengthening bones
The nutritionist explained that cress seeds help strengthen bones, and the reason is due to their high content of calcium, which makes them more solid and protects them from fractures and fragility.
She added that cress seeds also contain a high percentage of vitamin K, which plays a major role in increasing the concentration of calcium in the bones.
2- Preventing arthritis
Marwa pointed out the ability of garden cress seeds to reduce the incidence of arthritis, and its effective role in alleviating its symptoms in patients, due to its richness in antioxidants, which fight free radicals that cause inflammation in the body.
3- Anti-roughness
She confirmed that garden cress reduces the risk of osteoarthritis, because it contains vitamin C, which stimulates the body to produce collagen, which contributes to maintaining the integrity of cartilage and protecting it from corrosion.
