Secrets To Health – Flaxseeds
Recently many people are getting into the trend of using natural alternatives in place of laboratory made medicine. Philippine television and radio are filling the waves with “herbals” as the best alternative food supplement advertising it as potent against all forms of diseases.
Maybe the reason behind all these craziness lies in the failure of traditional western medicine to live up to its expectations in the “art of healing”. Also, recent surveys have shown that the younger generations are more prone to the diseases which are normally experiences when one reaches the age of 50 and above.
The search for the ultimate herb has never stopped and recently another herb, namely flaxseeds, is gaining popularity among the masses. Used as far as 5, 000 BC in Egypt, Greece and Rome, flaxseeds was said to be worshipped because of its “magical powers” to promote healing in the intestine and skin imperfections, to improve health and to boost up energy.
Commercializing of flaxseeds and its availability to the masses has only been done recently when medicine and drug companies took advantage of the findings done by reputable laboratories. Furthermore, its commercializing has gone into full throttle because of the strong recommendation for its use by health care professionals.
Thirty percent of flaxseed is fiber while 40% of it is healthy fat. The high content of fiber contributes to the improvement of the conditions of diabetic and hypoglycemia patients. Furthermore, flaxseed contains properties such as lignans and Omega 3 fatty acids. Lignans are responsible for improving heart conditions and combating cancer. Omega 3 fatty acids, on the other hand, nourish the brain and give that health glow to the skin and hair. The combination of fiber and Omega 3 fatty acid in flaxseed can increase metabolism in the body which can help reduce fat in the body faster.
