Why Eat Flax Seeds?

Flax is a great source of fiber, which is beneficial for digestive health and can also help lowercholesterol.

One tablespoon of whole seeds contains 55 calories, 3 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein, and about 2,300 milligrams of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fat. ALA has been shown to help decrease the risk of certain inflammatory diseases likediabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. Flax seeds are also an excellent source of magnesium, manganese, and thiamin and a good source of selenium. They also contain gamma-tocopherol, a form of the antioxidant vitamin E.

Flax contains powerful antioxidants called lignans, which are phytochemicals (or plant chemicals) that provide many health benefits. They are metabolized by friendly bacteria in your gut, then absorbed and circulated in the blood. This is where they help prevent plaque build-up in your arteries and help lower LDL (or bad) cholesterol. Studies have also found that lignans may also help improveblood sugarin those with diabetes.

This combination of lignans,fiber, and omega-3’s has gained nutritional notoriety. Studies have linked flax to cardiovascular protection and the reduced risk of prostate cancer.
