Flaxseed is considered one of the most powerful foods in the world. Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes are diseases whose risk is drastically reduced by consuming this oilseed.
Fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin D, magnesium, selenium and zinc are important components of flaxseed, but the most important for its effectiveness are lignins as its main ingredients.
Lignins represent phytoestrogens that have antioxidant properties and show good effects in the treatment of hormone-dependent tumors.
Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fibers, which are beneficial for digestion, intestinal health, maintenance of ideal body weight and cholesterol regulation.
