Long-term oxidative stress may contribute to the development of many chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Research suggests that sesame seeds may be especially beneficial for post-menopausal women thanks to their ability to increase and regulate levels of sex hormones, improve antioxidant status, and help manage cholesterol levels to optimize health. Plus, sesamin, a type of sesame lignan, has been shown to be converted by intestinal microflora to enterolactone, a phytoestrogen compound with estrogen-like activity.
