Although small in size, flaxseed offers multiple benefits. Recent studies have shown that flaxseed, widely used around the world for thousands of years, may help: reduce cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels, decrease bone mass loss, and aid in weight loss.
Flaxseed is rich in: Vitamins and minerals, including most B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and manganese. Soluble and insoluble fiber. Phytochemicals, including many powerful antioxidants such as lignans.
In fact, as a plant-based food, flaxseed is one of the best sources of lignans. Omega-3 fatty acids, essential for fighting inflammation. Flaxseed is the best plant-based source of the omega-3 known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Flaxseed oil consists of about 50% ALA, five times more than walnut oil or canola oil, which are the next highest sources of ALA.
The benefits of flaxseed:
Lowers blood cholesterol and sugar levels. The soluble fiber in flaxseed has been shown to reduce cholesterol, helping prevent the buildup of arterial plaque, which can block arteries and lead to high blood pressure, stroke, or heart attack.
Fiber is also believed to lower blood sugar levels, which is important for people with type 2 diabetes. Reduces bone loss. A study on diabetic mice showed that a diet rich in flaxseed slowed down bone mass loss, thanks to its high concentration of fatty acids.
Aids in weight management. Flaxseed expands when consumed, making you feel full. Eating flaxseed 30 minutes before a meal can help control appetite. Improves digestive health.
The fiber in flaxseed can relieve constipation.
