Description

Why should you eat flaxseed?

  1. An excellent source of Omega 3 in the form of ALA fatty acids. ALA is an essential fatty acid that our body cannot produce. According to the results of studies, the consumption of ALA obtained from flax seeds can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. (1)
  2. An excellent source of fiber. One tablespoon of flaxseed contains 3 grams of fiber, which is 8-12% of the recommended daily intake for men and women. Moreover, flaxseed contains two types of fiber: soluble (20-40%) and insoluble (60-80%). This combination is beneficial for your gut health. Soluble fiber slows down digestion. It can helps to control blood sugar and lower cholesterol (2). Insoluble fiber can beneficial in case of constipation (3).
  3. It can help lower cholesterol. In a study, people with higher-than-normal cholesterol levels consumed 3 tablespoons (30 grams) of flaxseed per day for three months. Total cholesterol levels dropped by 17% and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels by almost 20% (4). For postmenopausal women, the daily consumption of 30 grams of flaxseed is reduced total cholesterol by 7% and LDL cholesterol by 10% (5).
  4. It can lower blood pressure. According to a Canadian study, consuming 30 grams of flaxseed per month for six months reduced systolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 7 mmHg (6).
  5. It can help balance blood sugar levels. Several studies have shown that people with type 2 diabetes who added 10 to 20 grams of flaxseed to their daily diet for at least one month reduced their blood sugar levels by 8 to 20% (7) (8).
  6. It can help you achieve your ideal weight. One study found that adding 2.5 grams of ground flax fiber extract to a drink reduced hunger and overall appetite (9). The reduced feeling of hunger is probably due to the soluble fiber content of flaxseed. It slows down digestion in the stomach and activates a series of hormones that regulate appetite and make you feel full (10).
