Viet Trinh is not alone in her love for lotus seeds as a snack; Hanoi-based influencer Ha Truc, often likened to actress Thanh Ha, credits lotus seeds for her 14 kg weight loss. Ha Truc often reaches for lotus seeds when hungry, finding that they curb her cravings for unhealthy snacks.

The Weight Loss and Health Benefits of Lotus Seeds

Lotus seeds may be small, but they pack a powerful punch when it comes to health and beauty. Rich in ancaloit and flavonoid compounds, they are a dieter’s best friend, aiding in rapid weight loss.

Additionally, their detoxifying properties help flush out unwanted toxins from the body. With a low glycemic index, they satisfy sudden hunger pangs and provide a lasting feeling of fullness. This makes lotus seeds an excellent snack for those watching their weight. The powder derived from lotus seeds also prevents the accumulation of LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or “bad” cholesterol) in the body, improving metabolism and helping maintain a balanced weight.

Incorporating lotus seeds into your diet is also a great way to boost your protein and fiber intake—two essential nutrients for weight loss. Protein has been shown to reduce appetite and curb cravings, while fiber keeps you feeling full throughout the day.

Anti-Aging and Skin Benefits of Lotus Seeds

The enzymes present in lotus seeds are believed to possess anti-aging properties. One such enzyme, L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase, helps repair and maintain damaged proteins, promoting collagen synthesis in the body. Lotus seed powder is now a common ingredient in cosmetics, used to reverse skin aging and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
