Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) is a highly nutritious and healthy food, popular with many people for its many benefits. Here are some reasons why flaxseed is considered by many to be a healthy food:
-
Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Flaxseed is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids are important for cardiovascular health and may help reduce inflammation.
-
High fibre content. Fiber supports digestion, may help with feelings of fullness and may help prevent constipation.
-
Source of lignans.
-
Iron and Calcium Source.
-
Gluten-free and Vegan Food: Flaxseed is gluten-free, making it suitable for those who are sensitive or intolerant to gluten. In addition, flaxseed is a vegan source, making it ideal for avoiding animal-based foods.
-
Good Amino Acid Profile. This is important for the body for healthy cell formation and tissue maintenance.
-
High in Omega-6 Fatty Acids: Although modern diets tend to be overly high in omega-6 fatty acids compared to omega-3, flaxseed nevertheless contains a balanced amount of omega-6 fatty acids.
-
Easily incorporated into the diet: flaxseed is easy to incorporate into the daily diet. It can be added to breakfast cereals, yoghurt, salads or used in smoothies. Ground flaxseed can easily be added to pasta, breads or other baking and cooking recipes.
As with all foods, it is important to eat flaxseed in moderation and it is always a good idea to consult a health professional, especially if you have specific health problems or special dietary needs.
