The Amazing Health Benefits of Flaxseeds

“Flaxseeds are prebiotics: a plant-based medium that feeds the good bacteria in your gut. They are high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid fiber”

Flaxseeds, also known as Linseeds, are cultivated as a food and fiber crop in locations of the world with mild climates. It is interesting that in 2022, France produced 75% of the world’s supply of flax.

Some health benefits from these tiny seeds include:

  • A healthy Digestive system;
  • Protection against blocked or narrowing arteries;
  • Boosts your immune system;
  • Prevents and reduces wind and bloating;
  • Lowers blood pressure and supports healthy skin;
  • Reduces inflammation, and improves cholesterol levels, just to mention a few.

Flaxseeds do not need to be soaked before use. Sprinkle and use in salads, pastas, breads, puddings, pizzas and much more. It can be fun to experiment and decorate your food with them. Always remember to drink lots of water to help your digestive system.
