Flax Seed Oil Benefits

---

This natural oil (also known as Linseed Oil) is highly recommended for the general well being and whole body nutrition and is considered to be one of the 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 and also provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from taking fish oil.

Should you add flax seed oil to your diet?

Some nutritionists, researchers, and scientists believe that it could be the most important health-promoting supplement next to a multi-vitamin. Nearly every system in the body can benefit from flax seed oil’s natural properties, including the cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, as well as joints.

Just look at this list of facts and studies of what Flax Seed Oil can and may accomplish:

• 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.
• Helps protect the body against high blood pressure, inflammation, water retention, and lowered immune function.
• Shortens recovery time for fatigued muscles after exertion.
• Increases the body’s production of energy and also increases stamina.
• Eases weight loss in people afflicted with obesity.
• Increases the metabolic rate making it easier to burn off fat.
• Improves the absorption of Calcium.
• Can relieve the side effects and stop development of many forms of cancer.
• Helpful in the treatment of Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dandruff.
• Helps prevent Atherosclerosis (the accumulation of fatty deposits inside the blood vessels, especially the large and medium-sized arteries, that many people experience during the aging process).
• Lowers high blood pressure in Hypertension sufferers.
• Can relieve some cases of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in females.

Unfortunately, our current diets do not come close to meeting our daily EFA (essential fatty acids) requirements. The richest sources of EFAs such as flax seeds, cold-water fish, and soy and canola oils are rarely found in our regular meals. In addition, more typical foods like red meats and egg yolks can actually encourage the body’s production of bad prostaglandins. Flax Seed oil can help restore the body’s natural balance of good and bad prostaglandins.
