Why Are Flaxseeds A First-rate Health Souce?

Finding Out More About Flaxseeds

Actual flaxseeds do little for your health UNLESS they have been pulverized in something like a clean coffee grinder. If this step isn't taken, the seeds pass through you undigested because the hulls are just too tough to dissolve. Flaxseeds are rich in fiber and contain liganans, phytochemicals believed to be cancer fighters. They are also a top-notch source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may reduce your risk of heart disease, as well as ease inflammation and improve your mood. They are helpful in lowering cholesterol, preventing constipation and keeping blood sugar levels steady.
