Flaxseeds: Benefits & Uses

Benefits of Flaxseeds:

  • Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Flaxseeds are an excellent plant-based source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which supports heart and brain health.
  • High in Fiber: Supports digestive health, prevents constipation, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
  • Hormonal Balance: Lignans in flaxseeds can help balance estrogen levels, supporting women's reproductive health.
  • Supports Weight Management: The fiber and healthy fats keep you fuller for longer, reducing cravings.
  • Improves Skin & Hair Health: The anti-inflammatory properties and nutrients nourish your skin and promote hair growth.
  • Lowers Cholesterol: Regular intake may help reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.

How to Use Flaxseeds:

  • Ground Flaxseeds: Add 1–2 teaspoons daily to smoothies, porridge, yogurt, or baked goods.
  • Flaxseed Tea: Simmer 1 tbsp of flaxseeds in water for 10 minutes, strain and drink.
  • Flaxseed Paste: Mix ground flaxseeds with water to make a natural laxative or face mask.
  • Egg Substitute (Vegan): Mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit for 5 minutes—great for baking.
