Flax Seed Oil - Essential Fatty Acid
Flax Seed
What is
Flax Seed Oil ?
Flax Seed Oil is also known as Linseed Oil. FlaxSeed is a
blue flowering plant that is grown on the Western Canadian
Prairies for its oil rich seeds. FlaxSeed oil is highly
recommended for the general well being, whole body nutrition and
helps in restoring body's natural balance of good and bad
prostaglandins.
Flax Seed Oil is considered to be nature's richest source of
omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the health of almost
all body systems. Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9
essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin,
magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.
Several scientific studies show that consumption of omega-3 oils
leads to a substantially lower risk of death from coronary heart
disease. Until recently, experts believed the best sources of
omega-3 were fish oils. However, flax seed oil contains twice as
much omega-3 essential fatty acids as fish oil products, without
the fishy aftertaste. Some nutritionists, researchers, and
scientists believe that it could be the most important
health-promoting supplement next to a multi-vitamin.
Some of the Benefits of
Flax Seed Oil are as under:
Researchers found low incidences of breast cancer and colon
cancer in populations that have high amounts of Lignan in their
diet. Lignan are molecules with anti-cancer, anti-viral, and
anti-bacterial properties.
Flax seeds are the richest source of lignans. Diets high in
lignans can lead to a lower chance of getting colon, prostate,
and breast cancer. Flax is 100 times richer in lignan than most
whole grains.
Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids help lower cholesterol and
blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in arteries, which may
result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.
Flax seed oil helps protect the body against high blood
pressure, inflammation, water retention, sticky platelets and
lowered immune function.
It shortens recovery time for fatigued muscles after exertion
and increases the body's production of energy and stamina.
Flax seed oil accelerates the healing of sprains and
bruises.
Flax Seed Oil eases weight loss in people afflicted with
obesity. Stimulates brown fat cells and increases the metabolic
rate making it easier to burn off fat.
Flax Seed Oil improves the absorption of Calcium,
strengthening of fingers and toenails as well as an improved
eyesight and perception of colors.
Flax Seed Oil can relieve some cases of asthma and alleviate
some allergies.
Flax seed oil is helpful in the treatment of Eczema,
Psoriasis, and Dandruff.
Flax Seed Oil can relieve the symptoms of Rheumatoid
Arthritis and Diabetes Mellitus.
Flax Seed Oil helps in the prevention of Atherosclerosis and
in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.
Flax Seed Oil helps in improving the behavior of
Schizophrenics and in some cases the depression patients.
Flax Seed Oil can provide relief in some cases of
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in females.
