Benefits of flaxseed
It is rich in fiber
Each tablespoon of flaxseed has 8g of fiber (more than double that of a kiwi), with several health benefits:
Regulates intestinal transit, preventing constipation
It has a satiating effect, helping to maintain a healthy weight.
Reduces cholesterol levels
Helps control blood sugar levels
Among other benefits
Promotes a healthy heart
One of the benefits of flaxseed is its richness in omega-3 fats, whose role in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels and protective effect against cardiovascular diseases is scientifically recognized.
It is an ally in menopause
Flaxseed contains lignans, plant compounds that, according to science, act as a weak form of estrogen. A study published in the Society for Integrative Oncology journal suggests that daily flaxseed intake helps reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes characteristic of menopause.
May reduce cancer risk
Thanks to its omega-3 fatty acid content, flaxseed can slow the development and growth of cancer cells, protecting against various types of cancer.
