🌱 Healthy Properties of Saffron

Saffron is not only a luxury for the palate, but also for the body. Since ancient times, it has been used as a natural remedy in different cultures thanks to its great nutritional and therapeutic value:

✦ Powerful Antioxidant

It contains active compounds such as crocin, crocetin, safranal, and picrocrocin, which protect cells from oxidative damage, delaying cellular aging and combating free radicals.

✦ Mood Improvement

Studies have shown that saffron can act as a natural antidepressant, helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety and mild depression. It has also been linked to an improvement in mood in cases of premenstrual syndrome.

✦ Digestive Properties

It stimulates the secretion of gastric juices, promoting better digestion and helping to relieve abdominal pain or issues like gas and acidity.

✦ Benefits for Vision

Thanks to its carotenoids, consuming saffron can improve vision, especially in people with age-related macular degeneration.

✦ Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activity

Its active principles help reduce inflammation and pain, being useful for people with joint or muscle discomfort.

✦ Natural Appetite Regulator

Saffron can help control food cravings, reducing cravings and promoting a more balanced diet.

Including saffron in your diet is a delicious way to naturally care for your body and mind.
