Flax seeds are rich in fiber

Suitable for vegetarians

The benefits of flax seeds
1. Rich in nutrients
Flax seeds are one of the oldest agricultural crops in the world. There are two types, brown and golden, both of which are equally nutritious. Just one serving provides a good amount of protein, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, along with several important vitamins and minerals.

One tablespoon (7 grams) of ground flaxseed contains:
Calories: 37, Carbohydrates: 2 grams, Fat: 3 grams, Fiber: 2 grams, Protein: 1.3 grams, Thiamine: 10% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA), Copper: 9% of the RDA, Manganese: 8% of the RDA, Magnesium: 7% of the RDA, Phosphorus: 4% of the RDA, Selenium: 3% of the RDA, Zinc: 3% from RDA, Vitamin B6: 2% from RDA, Iron: 2% from RDA, Folic acid: 2% from RDA.
Flax seeds are especially rich in thiamine, a B vitamin that plays a key role in energy metabolism and cellular function.

2. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Flaxseeds are an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to heart health and is found mainly in plant-based foods. ALA is one of the two essential fatty acids that you must obtain from food, because the body does not produce them. Each tablespoon of ground flax seeds contains approximately 1.8 grams of plant-based omega-3.

3. Rich in dietary fiber
Just one tablespoon (7 grams) of ground flax seeds contains 2 grams of fiber, which represents approximately 5% and 8% of the recommended daily intake for men and women, respectively. In addition, flax seeds contain two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble - which are fermented by intestinal bacteria to support intestinal health and improve intestinal peristalsis. While soluble fiber absorbs water from the intestine and helps slow down digestion, which can help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels, insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool, which can help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movements.

4. It can lower cholesterol levels
Flaxseeds can also help regulate cholesterol levels. These potential effects may be due to the fiber in flaxseeds, which binds to bile salts before they are eliminated from the body. To renew these bile salts, cholesterol is extracted from the blood in the liver, resulting in lower levels.

5. May help regulate blood sugar levels
Flax seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote glycemic control. This potential effect can be attributed to the soluble fiber content of this seed.

6. It might help you manage your weight
Several studies suggest that flax seeds can help with weight management. This is probably due to the fact that soluble fibers can contribute to slowing down digestion and increasing the feeling of satiety.

7. It can help reduce inflammation
Two components of flax seeds, ALA and lignans, can help reduce inflammation by blocking the release of certain pro-inflammatory agents in the body.

8. Versatile and easy to use
Both flax seeds and flax oil are easy to use and can be added to a variety of food recipes. Here are some simple ways to increase their intake:

Add flax seed powder to water or add it to smoothies.
Add a little linseed oil over fresh salads instead of salad dressing.
Sprinkle ground flaxseed over hot or cold cereal for added fiber and flavor.
You can mix flax seeds in your favorite yogurt.
Add a healthy touch to baked goods by mixing flax seeds into biscuits, muffins or bread.
Combine flaxseeds with a little water for a simple egg substitute.
Incorporate flax seeds into meat or vegetable meatballs.
Here are some tips on how to add these tiny seeds to your daily diet.

Consume ground flax seeds. Ground flax seeds are much easier to digest than whole ones. This is partly due to the fact that the intestine cannot digest the hard outer "shell" of whole seeds.

Linseed oil is usually produced by cold pressing, which helps extract the oil from the seeds efficiently. Since this oil is very sensitive to heat and light, it is recommended to keep it in dark glass containers and store it in a dark and cool place. Because some of the nutrients in flaxseed oil are sensitive to heat, it is not suitable for high-temperature cooking methods such as frying. However, some studies show that light frying up to 177°C did not reduce the quality of the oil. It is important to mention that flaxseed oil contains more ALA than ground flaxseed. Just one tablespoon (7 grams) of ground flaxseed contains 1.6 grams of ALA, while one tablespoon (14 grams) of flaxseed oil contains about 7 grams.

However, flaxseeds contain many other beneficial nutrients that are not found in the oil, such as fiber. To take full advantage of the benefits of this food, ground flax seeds should be the first option.

Precautions and Side Effects
Although flax seeds are associated with many health benefits, there are some negative aspects to consider. First of all, it is important to keep in mind that ground flax seeds are rich in fiber, 2 grams in each tablespoon (7 grams).
● Although dietary fiber is beneficial, rapidly increasing intake can lead to digestive problems, including bloating and gas.
● Although rare, allergic reactions to linseed and linseed oil have also been reported.
● In addition, flax seeds can interact with several drugs, including anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.
● Due to the fact that certain compounds in flaxseed can mimic the effects of estrogen, people on hormone therapy should talk to their doctor before adding them to their diet. Also, caution is recommended if there is a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
