Natural Healthy Properties of Flaxseed
July 30, 2009
Flaxseeds are smooth and shiny, hard shell seeds that are somewhat identical to sesame seeds but a bit larger in size. The colors of these seeds could be everything from orangey to rosy looking brown. The ground seeds are characterized by a soft crunch and can be soaked-up like a sponge.
Flaxseeds and its History
The flaxseed oil has been identified to be a great nutrient, which has a nut-type flavor. This oil dates back far enough in history to have been associated with fibers used for clothing and also as a food.
Not to mention it has been linked with omega-3 fatty acid, which has caused an investigation to be launched to determine if it’s the source for reducing the risk of some very popular illnesses like hypertension, stroke, some rare cases of cancers, skin discomforts, and some inflammatory disorders. Flaxseed has been reported to be good for the heart as well.
The Fiber: Lignin
Lignin, a brand of fiber, is reported to be associated with flaxseed oil. Lignin is also classified as a chemical with striking resemblance to the human growth hormone, estrogen, which is the topic of lengthy discussions in today’s Major League Baseball.
Estrogen comes about by way of the bacteria found in your digestive tract, which converts into an estrogen like substance. These substances are thought to contain an anti-tumor like property that can reduce the mobility of free radicals.
Research on Flaxseed
Research have revealed that men hampered by prostate cancer that consumes at least 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily were capable of slowing down the movement of their cancer from the time they were diagnosed until the time of their surgery.
The Flaxseed muffin has also been reported to provide miraculous results for women stricken with breast cancer. The studies have shown that a daily flaxseed muffin significantly slowed down tumor growth rates in women. However, it cannot be carved in stone that flaxseed can prevent or even cure cancer.
WOW! Did we have any idea that there’s flaxseed oil on the market that is making medical breakthroughs of such magnitude?
