Flaxseed Benefits
Benefits
Digestive Health
As our ancestors knew only too well, flaxseeds provide relief from both diarrhoea and constipation. Flaxseeds are high in both soluble and insoluble fibre – it is the insoluble fibre that adds bulk to digestive waste, thus acting as a laxative and relieving constipation.
It is thought that the soluble fibre binds to water in the digestive tract which causes it to swell and increase the bulk of the stool, therefore preventing diarrhoea.
The fibre contained in flaxseeds is prebiotic, meaning it will also feed the friendly bacteria in the colon, further helping to cleanse waste from the system.
High in Omega 3
Flaxseeds are one of the richest dietary sources of Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA). ALA is the parent or pre-cursor to Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Whilst ALA is considered an important fat, EPA and DHA are critical to human health. If we rely on plant based Omega sources, our bodies must be able to convert ALA to these important fats. Conversions of ALA to DHA and EPA are dependent on adequate levels of other nutrients, such as vitamins B6 and B7 (biotin), copper, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
If our body’s assembly line for converting ALA is working smoothly and we are getting enough omega 3 supportive nutrients, consuming ALA rich foods such as flaxseeds is extremely beneficial to health. By providing the compound at the beginning of the assembly line, the body can then decide the exact types and proportions of omega 3’s it wants to create.
The benefits of Omega 3 are well documented and many:
Alleviate Anxiety and Depression – EPA appears to be the best for depression with one study finding EPA to be as effective as Prozac.
Improve Heart Health – Omega 3’s can reduce blood pressure, prevent blood platelets from clumping together avoiding blood clots, keep the arteries smooth and free from plaque and reduce inflammation.
Improve Eye Health - DHA is a major structural component of the brain and retina of the eye, it may help to prevent macular degeneration.
Anti-Inflammatory – Whilst inflammation is an important part of any healing process, chronic low-level inflammation can contribute to almost all chronic Western diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
