What is Flaxseed?

What is Flaxseed? Flaxseed is made up of lignans, fiber, & omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed has other ingredients that are helpful for the body as well. They make up a small percent of the Flaxseed oil but they are beneficial. The fiber in the Flaxseed oil can decrease blood pressure & keep digestive system running smoother, leading to weight loss. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart & they are not produced by the body. Therefore, they are an important part of our diet. Studies have shown that omega-3 has restrained tumors. It also helps the cardiovascular system of the body. If you are a woman, lignans can help reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. So all in all, here's the best things about Flaxseed:


-Radiant skin
-Smoother digestive system
-Reduces acne
-Lowers blood pressure


I take Flaxseed oil instead of omega-3 right now but the point is, are you keeping them in your diet? Have a good day.
