William St Apt 43B New York, NY 10005 917-474-3334. What is Flax Seed Oil and
how can it benefit me? I was faced with this question when I started hearing
about Flax Seed not long ago. It's become a 'buzz word' in society and seems to
be making great strides in increased health for many. I wanted to join that
wagon of wellness and so I researched until I felt satisfied that it could help
me, too. Here are my findings:
Personal trainers New
York City say Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is grown on the
Western Canadian Prairies for its oil rich seeds. This natural oil (also known
as Linseed Oil) is highly recommended for the general well being and whole body
nutrition and is considered to be nature's richest source of omega-3 fatty
acids that are required for the health of almost all body systems.
Personal trainer New
York City will agree that Flax Seed
Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium,
lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc and also provides approximately
50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from taking fish oil, minus that
horrible "fishy" after taste. Sounded good to me already!
Should you add flax seed oil to your
diet?
NYC personal trainers
agree Some
nutritionists, researchers, and scientists believe that it could be the most
important health-promoting supplement next to a multi-vitamin. Nearly every
system in the body can benefit from flax seed oil's natural properties,
including the cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system,
reproductive system, nervous system, as well as joints.
Just look at this list of facts and
studies of what Flax Seed Oil can and may accomplish:
- Research shows low incidence of
breast cancer and colon cancer in populations that have high amounts of lignan
in their diet. Flax is 100 times richer in lignan than most whole grains.
- Studies show that Omega-3 fatty
acids help lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in
arteries, which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.
- Helps protect the body against
high blood pressure, inflammation, water retention, sticky platelets and
lowered immune function.
- Shortens recovery time for
fatigued muscles after exertion.
- Increases the body's production of
energy and also increases stamina.

Unfortunately, our current diets do
not come close to meeting our daily EFA (essential fatty acids) requirements.
The richest sources of EFAs such as flax seeds, cold-water fish, and soy and
canola oils are rarely found in our regular meals. In addition, more typical
foods like red meats and egg yolks can actually encourage the body's production
of bad prostaglandins. Flax Seed oil can help restore the body's natural balance
of good and bad prostaglandins.
How much do I take a day?
The recommended daily dose for most
people is at least 1,000 mg taken one to three times daily. Even better is
adding flax seeds into your diet in breads, muffins or on salads. Scientific
studies have used up to 30 grams of flax seeds a day safely and without side
effects.
What do I look for when buying Flax
Seed Oil?
It's important to buy high-quality
flax seed oil as it is prone to rancidity. Light and oxygen will slowly
breakdown the essential fatty acids. Look for flax seed oil capsules (dark
coated soft gels) or oil that is bottled in amber-brown bottles, as these are
more resistant to the light and oxygen. Make sure you refrigerate your flax
seed oil to help extend its shelf life.
Flax seed oil takes a bit of time to
be absorbed into the body before the full beneficial effects begin, ranging
anywhere from a few days to as many as six weeks, depending on your overall
well-being.
Add Flax Seed to your diet and watch
what it will do for you! If you're unsure about trying Flax Seed, contact your
physician and ask for more information.
