Health Benefits of Flax Seeds

Cardiovascular Health

Flax seeds help maintain heart health by reducing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and balancing blood pressure. Essential omega-3 fatty acids improve blood vessel flexibility and function, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, heart attack, or stroke.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Soluble fibers in flax seeds slow down sugar absorption into the bloodstream, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels. This effect is especially beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes, as it helps increase insulin sensitivity and prevent sudden blood sugar fluctuations.

Healthy Digestion

Thanks to their high fiber content, flax seeds support digestive health. They help regulate intestinal transit, preventing constipation, and provide nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a balanced intestinal flora and better nutrient absorption.

Highly beneficial for oncology patients. See the Budwig Diet.

ATTENTION!

Flax seeds should be consumed within 15 minutes after grinding, as they oxidize.
