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.

Flax Seed Oil also helps in a better liver function.
