The Benefits of Flax Seed
Flax seed has many benefits including lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) levels, and may also help to lower blood triglyceride and blood pressure.
It also keeps platelets from becoming sticky which reduces the risk of a heart attack.
Flax seed is also rich in lignan which is a type of antioxidant and it also provides fiber.
Include flax seed in your diet by adding to your cereal and salads. You can also substitute flax seed oil for any other oil.
My husband had high LDL cholesterol and he went to the doctor and was on medication for a month and during that time I was sneaking flax seed into a lot of his food and after one month his cholesterol levels had dropped drastically.
He hasn’t taken any medication since and I continue to add flax seed to his food any chance I get.
It tastes really great too. It has a nutty taste which is great for almost anything!
