The main side effects of consuming black sesame seeds daily include:
1. Indigestion: Black sesame seeds are high in protein and oils. Long-term excessive intake may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms of indigestion such as bloating and abdominal pain.
2. Risk of obesity: Black sesame seeds are calorie-dense and rich in fat. Long-term excessive consumption may lead to excess energy being converted into body fat, increasing the risk of obesity.
3. Hair loss: Although moderate consumption of black sesame seeds may help nourish the kidneys and promote healthy hair, excessive intake may trigger hormonal imbalances, leading to excessive oil secretion on the scalp and subsequent hair loss.
It is recommended to consume black sesame seeds in moderation to avoid adverse effects associated with excessive intake. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
