Flaxseeds A Day Keep The Doctor’s Away
Recently many people are getting into the trend of using natural alternatives in place of laboratory made medicine. Philippine television and radio are filling the waves with “herbals” as the best alternative food supplement advertising it as potent against all forms of diseases.
The emergence of such craze is mainly because of the ever growing percentage of young people who are getting more and more prone to diseases. Diseases that is usually common to people ages 50 and above have now become increasingly found in the younger generation. It seems that the calling of being an “art of healing” of the usual western medicine has failed.
Thus the entrance of another natural herbal food supplement, flaxseed, which is said to improve ones health, came as no surprise. Using flaxseed for health reasons has long been practiced around 5, 000 BC in places such as Egypt, Greece and Rome. Believed to have possessed magical powers, people worshiped it because it not only improved energy and health conditions but was also able to heal the intestine and other skin conditions.
However, it was only later that health professionals highly recommend the consumption of flaxseed because their findings have shown flaxseed to be beneficial to health. Taking advantage of the findings, medicine and drug companies are busily commercializing flaxseed.
Flaxseeds are composed of 30% fiber and 40% healthy fat. Its high fiber content allows flaxseeds to improve hypoglycemia and diabetes condition. It also decreases the chances of having heart diseases, coronary artery diseases and stroke. Flaxseeds also contain lignans, which help the heart and also contain anti-cancer properties, and Omega 3 fatty acids, which nourishes the brain and give a healthy glow to the skin and hair. Also, when Omega 3 is combined with fiber, it helps in hastening the burning of fat by making person’s metabolism to burn at a higher rate.
