Fiber .
Compared to other seeds and nuts, flaxseeds contain the most fiber. But the greatest value is in lignans, which have phytoestrogen (natural estrogen) and antioxidant properties. These substances are recommended for women in menopause, when the body no longer produces estrogens on its own. Scientific studies show that if women consume flaxseeds before and during menopause, it reduces the risk of breast cancer. Fiber and lignans have a laxative effect - by increasing the volume of intestinal contents and liquefying them, intestinal peristalsis is promoted. Lignans normalize and strengthen immunity, they have antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effects.
- Vegetable fats. Mostly people talk about omega-3 fatty acids. There are three types of fatty acids in nature: two are found in fish, one in plant products. This one is found in flaxseeds - alpha linolenic acid. Many studies have shown that it reduces cholesterol levels (especially low cholesterol) in the blood, the development of atherosclerosis, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. There is a version that flax seeds grown further north contain more omega-3 linolenic oil.
- Microelements. Flaxseed contains magnesium, a relatively large amount of calcium and iron, but there is no single microelement that predominates. Flaxseed also contains vitamins A, E, F and B vitamins. Vitamin F is the only one that the human body does not produce, so it must be taken with food, and flaxseed is suitable for this.
