Despite their small size, flaxseeds offer numerous benefits. Recent studies have shown that flaxseeds, widely known for thousands of years, can help reduce cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels, decrease bone mass loss, aid in weight loss, boost immunity, and combat cancer.
Flaxseeds are rich in:
- Vitamins and minerals, including many B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese.
- Soluble and insoluble fibers.
- Phytochemicals, including powerful antioxidants like lignans. Flaxseed is one of the best sources of lignans.
- Omega-3 fatty acids, crucial for fighting inflammation. Flaxseed is a top source of the plant-based omega-3 known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), containing about 50% ALA—five times more than walnut oil or canola oil.
Flaxseeds may:
- Lower blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The soluble fiber in flaxseed has been shown to reduce cholesterol and help prevent atherosclerotic plaque formation, which can block arteries and lead to high blood pressure, stroke, or heart attack. It may also lower blood sugar levels, which is important for type 2 diabetes.
- Decrease bone loss. A study on diabetic mice showed that flaxseed slowed bone mass loss due to its fatty acid concentration.
- Aid in weight management. Flaxseed expands when consumed, making you feel full. Taking flaxseed 30 minutes before a meal can help control appetite.
- Improve digestive health. The fiber in flaxseed can relieve constipation.
- Boost immunity. ALA has been shown to reduce inflammation, enhancing immune function. Recent studies suggest flaxseed may help manage autoimmune and inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus.
- Combat cancer. Studies have indicated that flaxseed plays a significant role in fighting cancer, particularly colorectal and breast cancer, due to its high lignan content, which may inhibit tumor growth.
