Product details
100g !Prof Flax seeds
!Prof Flaxseeds are tiny, brown or
golden-coloured seeds, of a plant called Flax (Linum usitatissimum) which are also known as linseed or common flax.
The health benefits of these seeds have made them a part of the
traditional cuisines of Asia, America, and Africa. They can be eaten in their
raw form.
Flaxseeds are a great source of dietary fiber and plant-based protein and contain zero cholesterol. They are rich in alpha-linolenic
acid, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Minerals
present in these seeds include thiamine, manganese, and magnesium. They are also a rich source of vitamin
C and B6, calcium, iron, potassium, and sodium.
The powerful nutrients in flaxseeds can help
fight many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases,
inflammation, arthritis, allergies, asthma, and diabetes. Flaxseeds also help reduce the risk of various cancers and improve reproductive health in females. They
also aid in maintaining healthy eyes, skin, and hair.
Interesting Benefits Of Flaxseed
High Fiber
Content: Flaxseed keeps blood sugar levels in check. Due to
the presence of fiber, it keeps the stomach full and avoids the intake of
surplus calories through overeating.
Prevents
Heart Diseases: Flaxseed is a good source flavone C-glycosides. These polyphenolic compounds
inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, and capillary permeability
and fragility, thus leading to a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
Helps Manage
Diabetes: Flaxseed is a rich source of
both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. This aids in maintaining normal blood
sugar levels in people suffering from diabetes. Daily intake of flaxseed
improves glycaemic control in obese men and women with pre-diabetes.
Reduces
Cholesterol: Flaxseed is able to reduce the LDL cholesterol levels in postmenopausal women owing to
the presence of omega-3 fatty acids and lignans in it. The soluble fiber present in it
also helps in maintaining proper gastrointestinal functions,
and insoluble fiber plays a vital role in keeping the heart healthy
by lowering serum LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Rich in
Vitamins: Flaxseed is rich in most B complex vitamins and vitamin
E, as well as minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and iron. Vitamin E is
essential for healthy skin and bones. Potassium maintains nerve
health and iron is a vital component of red blood cells and many enzymes that
affect our general metabolism.
Good Source
of Protein: Flaxseed is a rich source of dietary proteins, having a high
essential amino acid index, and providing most of the daily intake of proteins
that our bodies need.
Rich in
Omega 3’s & Fights Inflammation: Flaxseed is a great source of
omega-3 fatty acids, preceded only by fish oil. The omega-3 fatty
acid is the most active agent that fights inflammation in the body.
Inflammation is a leading cause of heart diseases, asthma, allergies, diabetes,
and even certain cancers. It has also been shown to reduce the rate of
kidney inflammation in cases of nephritis.
Gluten-free:
Flaxseeds are 100% free of gluten, and therefore can be eaten by those with gluten
intolerance or celiac disease.
Weight loss:
These seeds can also help in weight loss because they are rich in
fiber and certain other healthy fats. They also help improve metabolism,
lower the risk of digestive problems, and improve obesity.
Blood
Pressure: Including flaxseeds in the diet is recommended for people
suffering from high blood pressure. The omega 3 and fiber in this
health food can lower blood
pressure, and thereby
prevent the risk of stroke, hypertension, and other heart
ailments.
Digestion:
The presence of plant-based lignans, omega 3s, oils, and fiber in flaxseed help
in improving the digestion of your body, by promoting lubrication and
preventing constipation.
Boosts
Immunity: The alpha-linolenic acid and the lignans found in flaxseed
boost the immune response in the body and prevent inflammatory diseases such as
rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and an autoimmune disorder called lupus.
Reduces
Menopausal Symptoms: Lignans, in flaxseed, can be used as an alternative
to hormone replacement therapy due to their estrogenic properties, and thereby
reduce the symptoms of menopause and arthritis in menopausal women.
Reduces
Ovarian Dysfunction: In menstruating women, regular consumption of
flaxseed is shown to inhibit cycle changes and a reduction in the ovarian
dysfunction.
Reduces Dry
Eye: Flaxseed consumption can reduce “dry eye” syndrome. Also, the
omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of macular degeneration, an eye disease
caused by damaged nerves in the eye.
