Only the perfectly balanced essential acids are found in flaxseed. Reports published by the Karolinske Institute in Switzerland show that flaxseed contains 800 mg / kg.
Lignans (anticancer agents highly studied) 100 times more properties than the best whole grains. lignans help in the prevention of breast and colon cancers are within the reach of all people simply by adding ground flax seed to their diet.
One tablespoon of flaxseed also contains more than 800 mg. of ALNA, the primary fatty acid Omega 3, this is 10 times more ALN than most fish oils without the consequences like flavor, high cholesterol and high levels of saturated fats that fish oils contain more properties.
All essential fatty acids for human health Omega 3 are evident in flaxseed, these essential acids can not be manufactured by the human body should be included in the daily diet.
The soluble and insoluble fiber contained in flaxseed is recognized for its effect on cholesterol lowering, probably because it prevents it and bile acids from being reabsorbed by the organism when they are adhered to the fiber and carried out with the other wastes.
Other properties of flax
Finally the fiber is known for its ability to soften the large intestine, prevent constipation and maintain regularity when defecating (Erasmus V. Falts and Olis, Vancouver; Alive Books, 1986).
Mucílago (Soluble Fiber) is a gummy substance that is found under the cover of the Seed (Cascara) that has the properties of blocking excess acidity and acts as a natural laxative to soften and protect the delicate intestinal flora and to improve the regularity without side effects, the soluble fiber of flaxseed prevents the reabsorption of digestive acids, reduces the absorption of cholesterol contained in food and increases the amount of cholesterol that is excreted by the organism; Flaxseed Mucilage helps in the stabilization and modulation of blood glucose.
The most important beneficial properties are:
1.- Contributes to decrease cholesterol in the blood
2.- Assist in the control of high blood pressure
3.- Reduce the threat of blood clots
4.- Acts as a laxative
5.- It helps to control the level of sugar in the blood
6.- It contributes to improve the conditions of the skin
7.- It is a protector against the formation of tumors
8.- It contributes to the development and growth of the fetus
9.- It offers great nutritional benefits
10.-It can benefit sufferers of lupus
In the last 10 years a lot of scientific studies have been devoted to the research of flax seed and its surprising oils, known as alpha linolenic acids or omega 3.
In a recent conference held at the Flax Institute in the United States, some scientists focused their attention on flaxseed and its role in curing and preventing numerous degenerative diseases.
Research and clinical experience, show the following benefits due to regular consumption of flaxseed:
1) Cancer.
For over 35 years, lipid researcher and researcher Johanna Budwig has used flaxseed oil successfully in her therapies. She has more than 10,000 documented cases of successful treatments for cancer patients using flaxseed oil as the main treatment.
At his clinic in New York, the late Dr. Max Gerson, used flax as the main agent to fight cancer. More recent studies show that LNAs (essential fatty acids) eliminate human cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer cell lines from cancers of the breast, prostate and lung were studied. As previously mentioned, research suggests that lignans could combat the chemical agents responsible for initiating tumors and blocking estrogen receptors, which could reduce the risk of colon cancer. According to Dr. James Duke of the US Department of Agriculture, flaxseed contains 27 components identified as cancer preventive.
2. Cardiac Diseases.
One of the unique characteristics of the oil in flaxseed is that it contains a substance that resembles prostaglandins, which could well mean a potent therapeutic value. Prostaglandins regulate blood pressure and artery functions, also play an important role in calcium metabolism and energy metabolism. There is no other vegetable oil until now that equals the properties of linseed oil.
Similarly the ability to regulate the blood of LNAs prevents formation of blood clots within the veins and arteries due to excess fatty acids derived from polyunsaturated oils (beneficial fats). This involves prevention of heart attacks if it is used early and lifestyle is changed to one with moderate exercise along with a healthy diet.
3. Diabetes.
It is suspected that diabetes that originates in adulthood is due in part to deficiency of LNAs (beneficial fats) and excessive consumption of saturated fats.
Although this syndrome can take 30 years to emerge, as a disease, it can achieve reduction of symptoms with positive changes in diet and own supplementation of LNA of flaxseed oil. Deficiencies in consumption of vitamins and minerals can worsen the condition of the disease. LNAs may decrease insulin requirements for diabetics.
4. Inflammatory conditions.
Fatty acids reduce inflammation conditions of all kinds. Inflammatory conditions are those that end in "itis" which include: bursitis, tendonitis, tonsillitis,
gastritis, ileitis, colitis, meningitis, arthritis, plebitis, prostatitis, nepritis, splenitis, hepatitis, pancreaitis, otitis, etc. Like lupus, many of these conditions are relieved by the use of LNAs.
5. Skin conditions.
The animals that are exhibited in the "pedigree" show are fed with linseed oil, so that they maintain healthy skin and shiny hair. Similarly, recent studies have shown that human skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema improve markedly when patients are given flaxseed oil in their diets. These skin conditions are due to lack of essential fatty acids in their diets. If you use linseed oil regularly in your diet, you will notice that your foot and hair becomes softer and healthier. Oil is beneficial for treating dry skin, dandruff and sun-sensitive skin.
6. Sexual disorders.
Dr. Budwig found that flaxseed oil is a natural aphrodisiac. The most common cause of sexual impotence in men and lack of orgasmic response in women is blockage of blood flow in the pelvic area. Restriction of blood flow prevents complete expansion or erection of the penis and orgasm does not occur. The solution is to unblock the thinner arteries in general, and consumption of flaxseed oil may help. Flaxseed oil is rapidly gaining reputation as one of the best aphrodisiacs of the decade.
7. Calm under stress.
Many people find that increased calm is the most profound effect of using flaxseed oil. This brings a sense of calm very often in a matter of a few hours. This may be due in part to the fact that during stress, fatty acids delay the overproduction of biochemical agents such as arachidonic acid commonly found in chronically stressed people.
8. Retention of liquids.
Flaxseed fatty acids prevent the kidneys from excreting sodium and water. Fluid retention (edema) occurs in cases of inflamed lower extremities, some forms of obesity, PMS, and all levels of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
9. Vitality and athletic ability.
One of the most notable signs of improved health due to the use of flaxseed is increased vitality and energy. Flaxseed increases the metabolism and efficiency of cellular energy production. It simulates cellular and respiratory oxidation by which energy is produced and we experience it as heat. For athletes looking to reduce fat and have a slim body, these are great news !.
10. Other conditions.
Fatty acids are needed for visual functions (retina), adrenal function (stress) and sperm formation. Often the symptoms of multiple arteriosclerosis improve, in fact when the consumption of fatty acids is high this is rare. Flaxseed oil may be useful in fibrous formations, (fatty acids release viscous secretions and improve difficulty in breathing), some cases of sterility and abortions, some behavioral problems (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression), allergies, addictions (drugs and alcohol) and other wrong behaviors
