It is proven that flax seeds have twice as much Omega 3 acids in their composition compared to fish and in addition are rich in vitamins, fiber, minerals, estrogen, and seed oil contains lignin and linoleic acid, but also other substances. which can help prevent breast, prostate or colon cancer.

Lignin has the property of preventing and combating cancer. In addition to other proteins, dietary fiber, lignin content makes flax seeds highly valued. This is a special category of phytoestrogens that act in the same way as estrogen. Lignin is recommended for its considerable antioxidant capacity and is able to neutralize a large part of the free radicals in the body. Even if it is in several vegetables, flax seeds have the highest concentration.

In diets for weight loss many people completely give up fat. But doctors say the practice is incorrect because the body needs fat to function optimally. Flax seeds offer an advantage in this sense because they contain a large amount of fatty acids. Due to the concentration of fatty acids, flax seeds can maintain the integrity of the circulatory system and also have an antitumor and antioxidant effect, experts say.

If flax seeds are ground they are better. Studies over time show that flax seeds are much easier to assimilate when ground and we will take better advantage of their therapeutic benefits.

The very rich content of dietary fiber makes flax seeds a perfect ally in weight loss, according to experts. Flax seeds quickly give the feeling of fullness and also limit the assimilation of fats in the body.
