Why Flax Seeds are Important For Your Heart, Hormones and Body?

With the rising emphasis on fitness and healthy eating, a tiny seed has come in to much prominence- Flax or Linseed, also known as “Alasi” in Hindi. The benefits of Flax seed are numerous and this tiny brownish seed is packed with micronutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy cholesterol that help fight several ailments such as, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, hot flashes. A single table spoon of ground flax seeds contain 2 grams of poly-unsaturated fatty acids, 2 grams of fiber and 37 calories. What’s even better is flax seed helps in losing weight and keeps the heart cholesterol free.

Benefits of Flax Seeds:

The history of Flax seeds as a food crop goes back to prehistoric Babylon as early as 3000 B.C along with Georgia, China and ancient Egypt. Although flax is a power house of nutrients, the basic health benefits of flax are as follows:

Omega 3 fatty acids: These are essential poly unsaturated fatty acids that are crucial for healthy heart functioning and protection against cancer. Omega 3 fatty acids are primarily found in sea fishes and eggs, therefore flax is a great alternative source of this “good” fat for the vegans.
ALA: Alpha-linolenic acid that protects the body against inflammation, that is especially beneficial for patients suffering from arthritis, and joint pain.
Lignans: Flax is the richest source of lignans, that has estrogen and antioxidant qualities that helps regularize hormonal imbalance in women.
Fiber: The high fiber content and low carbohydrate content in flax makes it a great option for weight loss, because the fiber expands in the stomach by absorbing fluids and gives us a fuller feeling, and checks hunger for a long time.

Antioxidants That Fight Cancer:

The high level of omega 3 fatty acid and Lignans present in flax combats prostate cancer, colon cancer and breast cancer. Three types of Lignans found in flax seed are-secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol and pinoresinol that has capacity to affect the hormonal workings and control hormone related cancers and hormone dependent tumors.

Shields the Heart:

The positive impact of flax on human heart is boundless. About 50% of the calorie contained in flax comprises of fats, which is a mixture of several fatty acids such as, poly-unsaturated fats, mono-unsaturated fats, and very little saturated fats.

Most of the poly-unsaturated fats remain in the form ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Now, ALA is a “miracle” fatty acid that helps to reduce bad cholesterol, while leaving the good cholesterol in the blood intact. It also reduces blood-pressure and chances of stroke.

Controls Diabetes:

Lignans present in Flax seeds work effectively in controlling Type 2 Diabetes. Research shows that a daily intake of flax builds up insulin sensitivity in glucose intolerant people. This is because of the high level of soluble fibers in flax. Consumption of a table spoon of ground flax seeds for a month has shown to improve fasting blood sugar levels.

Protect against Inflammation:

Two specific agents present in flax seeds, namely ALA and lignans have the capacity to check the flow of certain pro-inflammatory agents that are responsible for arthritis pain, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, joint pain, etc.

Controls Hormonal Imbalance:

The antioxidant property of Flax seed has been shown to reduce the symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as, hot flashes and night sweat in post-menopausal women. Research has shown that a daily intake of about 40 grams or 2 table spoons of ground flax seed helps to improve moderate hormonal problems as well as overall psychological health.

Responsible for Flawless Skin and Shiny Hair:

The omega 3 fatty acids helps treat skin diseases like acne, allergies and sun sensitivity. In addition, it rejuvenates the skin, regenerates the skin tone and makes it smooth, supple and glowing. It fights the problems of hair fall, dry scalp, dandruff, brittle hair and supplies nourishment to the hair follicles to make the tresses healthy and strong.

Flax Seeds and Weight Loss:

Flax seed is an excellent addition to the diet if you are looking to shed some extra pounds and stay healthy. The high fiber content in flax makes it heavier as it absorbs fluids and expands in volume that keeps the tummy fuller for a longer time and check cravings and over-eating. This is highly favorable for weight loss.

Although, calorie counters might feel a bit taken aback by the high calorie content of this seed, research shows that those calories come from “good fats” such as poly-unsaturated fats, and mono-saturated fats in the form of omega 3 fatty acids.

How to eat Flax Seeds?

It is better to grind the flax seeds rather than eating them whole, because the lignans are better absorbed by the body if it is consumed in the ground form. Make it a point to take plenty of water with the flax seed powder.

Get a food processor or blender, even your coffee grinder will do. Get a packet of regular whole flax seed available in the market, but remember that once you open the packet, the seeds must be stored inside an airtight container because flax seeds have a tendency to turn rancid.

Grind one cup of flax at a time and refrigerate the powder immediately and try to use it up with in a week. Start slow and take about 2 table spoons every morning in empty stomach for a few weeks and let your body get accustomed to it, and look out for any side effects such as nausea, constipation, diarrhea, bloating and stomach pain. If things seem fine, then start adding it to your fruit salads, fruit smoothies and yogurt.

How to Include Flax Seed in Your Daily Meal:

Don’t go for the whole seeds because it becomes too complex for the body to break it down and so it tends to pass through your system. Make it a point to grind the seeds before adding it to dishes.

Add to your favorite juice, energy drink and smoothie.
Sprinkle on dishes and salads.
Mix it with breakfast cereals.
Mix it with mayonnaise while making sandwiches.
Use flax seed power to bake cookies, bread, cakes, and muffins.

While adding flax seed powder to any dish, keep in mind not to put the powder directly in to the oil, as it tarnishes the nutty flavor of the powder and excess also destroys the valuable properties of the seeds. There are no serious side effects of flax seed as such, and it’s a food that has been with us since prehistoric times.

There is no particular time or season to consume flax. You can add ground flax seeds to all your foods to load up on nutrients, promote blow flow to the breasts and increase breast size. You can also apply a paste of soaked fenugreek seeds on your breasts and massage for 10 minutes, leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with water.

You can naturally balance the level of hormones in the body and regularize your periods by seed cycling. This process involves adding pumpkin, flax, sunflower and sesame seeds to the diet in order to produce the required hormones or eliminate excess hormones. During the Follicular Phase (Days 1-14) you can have pumpkin seeds and flax seeds every day that helps in production and absorption of estrogen in the body. Take 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds and flax seeds daily during this stae. During the Luteal Phase (Days 15-28) take 2 tablespoons of sesame and sunflower seeds every day that blocks excess estrogen.

Bipasha Mukherjee

October 31, 2015 - 10:11 am

Reply
Flaxseed contains cyanogen, which is fine in small amounts; but, eating more than 2 tbsp. a day could prevent the thyroid from taking up the proper amount of iodine. It is best to cook the flax seeds in order to prevent this problem. Flaxseed also contains goitrogens. Goitrogens suppress thyroid functions. So it is best to consult a doctor before taking falxseed or falxseed oil for hypothyriodism.

Flaxseeds do work for weight loss. i have lost about 20lbs just using flaxseeds and husks. It also helps with constipation. Remember that flaxseed oil is different from the actual flaxseeds. If I ever dont have time to do a flaxseed shake, I take the Lady Soma Detox which is like super flaxseed and husks. Thats definitely the quickest way – but also including flaxseeds in your meals helps as well.

I had heavy bleeding and doctor asked me to do a d and c and said that e shall remove the thick lining over the uterus which will help in the treatment.
After which the thick lining was sent for a biopsy and the report said it was anovular endometrium. After going through the report, the doctor said it was hormonal imbalance and has prescribed me norethisterone acetate for 21 days after which the periods will start and has asked me to visit on the 2nd/3rd day of the period.
I went through many articles on hormonal imbalance and am very confused whether to take the medicine as this may result in many side effects or can we do alternate treatment like yoga, exercise healthy food etc to regulate the hormones.
Please advise.

  There is no particular time or season to consume flax. You can add ground flax seeds to all your foods to load up on nutrients, promote blow flow to the breasts and increase breast size. You can also apply a paste of soaked fenugreek seeds on your breasts and massage for 10 minutes, leave it on for 20 minutes and wash off with water.

Due to this problem i have gained fats and facial hairs also take the laser treatment but no benefit.

- Bipasha Mukherjee
  
  September 14, 2015 - 4:42 pm
  
  You can naturally balance the level of hormones in the body and regularize your periods by seed cycling. This process involves adding pumpkin, flax, sunflower and sesame seeds to the diet in order to produce the required hormones or eliminate excess hormones. During the Follicular Phase (Days 1-14) you can have pumpkin seeds and flax seeds every day that helps in production and absorption of estrogen in the body. Take 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds and flax seeds daily during this stae. During the Luteal Phase (Days 15-28) take 2 tablespoons of sesame and sunflower seeds every day that blocks excess estrogen.

I am having hypothyroidism. Does flaxseed be taken when I am taking medicine for thyroid.
- Bipasha Mukherjee
  
  October 31, 2015 - 10:11 am
  
  Flaxseed contains cyanogen, which is fine in small amounts; but, eating more than 2 tbsp. a day could prevent the thyroid from taking up the proper amount of iodine. It is best to cook the flax seeds in order to prevent this problem. Flaxseed also contains goitrogens. Goitrogens suppress thyroid functions. So it is best to consult a doctor before taking falxseed or falxseed oil for hypothyriodism.

My wife has hormonal imbalance and she’s also got hypothyroidism. She is also 6 months pregnant. Is it OK for her to take flax seeds as mentioned by you through an oatmeal. etc..

Flaxseeds do work for weight loss. i have lost about 20lbs just using flaxseeds and husks. It also helps with constipation. Remember that flaxseed oil is different from the actual flaxseeds. If I ever dont have time to do a flaxseed shake, I take the Lady Soma Detox which is like super flaxseed and husks. Thats definitely the quickest way – but also including flaxseeds in your meals helps as well.

I had heavy bleeding and doctor asked me to do a d and c and said that e shall remove the thick lining over the uterus which will help in the treatment.
After which the thick lining was sent for a biopsy and the report said it was anovular endometrium. After going through the report, the doctor said it was hormonal imbalance and has prescribed me norethisterone acetate for 21 days after which the periods will start and has asked me to visit on the 2nd/3rd day of the period.
I went through many articles on hormonal imbalance and am very confused whether to take the medicine as this may result in many side effects or can we do alternate treatment like yoga, exercise healthy food etc to regulate the hormones.
Please advise.
