Flax seed oil also known as Linseed oil is highly recommended
for general wellbeing and for whole body nutrition and is considered to be
nature’s richest source of omega-3 fatty acids
Omega 3 fatty acids are needed for the health of almost all body
systems. Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B
vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fibre, protein, and zinc and also
provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from
taking fish oil.
Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids found in Flax Seed oil
help lower cholesterol. The EFA’s are also known to help protect the body
against high blood pressure, inflammation, water retention and lowered immune
function.
Flax Seed oil is known to reduce the risk of cancer, due to the
high content of lignan in it. Research suggests that populations with a large
amount of lignan in their diet show fewer incidences of cancer, especially
colon and breast cancer.
Flax Seed oil is also known to help to lower cholesterol,
protect against heart disease, promote the growth of healthy hair and nails,
improve absorption of calcium, and help increase the metabolic rate, making it
good for weight loss.
Flax Seed oil is also known to be helpful in the treatment of
Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dandruff and can relieve some cases of Premenstrual
Syndrome (PMS) in females.
Unfortunately, our current diets do not come close to meeting
our daily EFA (essential fatty acids) requirements. It’s recommendable to take
Flax Seed in oil form rather than capsule form, as about 10 -15 capsules makes
for the recommended amount which is just short of 1 tablespoon of Flax Seed
oil. The best way to ingest this is by adding it to your shake or smoothie to
disguise the taste, although the taste according to many is not that bad and
almost nutty.
Considering the so very many benefits of the humble Flax Seed,
begin including it in your daily diet and reap its many benefits for health.
