How Can I Benefit Physically From Flaxseed?

Add A Little Flaxseed To Your Diet

Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, and fiber, as well as being excellent sources of B vitamins, protein & zinc. They're low in saturated fats, calories and they have NO cholesterol. Several studies have shown flaxseed oil to be helpful in reducing the pain, inflammation & swelling of arthritis, in addition to lowering blood cholesterol & triglyceride levels, plus helping to reduce the hardening effects of cholesterol on cell membranes. Other uses include treating constipation, benign prostatic hyperplasia, ulcerative colitis, and vaginitis. One tablespoon a day, as a supplement or on salads or veggies, can help ensure your supply of essential fatty acids. It's great for helping dry skin from the inside out!
