FAQs
Flaxseeds are considered beneficial for prostate health due to their phytoestrogen content, which may have a hormone-balancing effect on testosterone. They are rich in nutrients like omega-3 fats, fiber, lignins, and antioxidants, supporting cardiovascular health by reducing risk factors such as triglycerides and cholesterol imbalance.
Additionally, flaxseed fiber aids digestion, relieving constipation and acting as a prebiotic to support gut bacteria. Flaxseeds are also touted for their potential in weight loss efforts, offering a feeling of fullness and helping to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Incorporating flaxseeds into daily meals, preferably in milled form, can provide these health benefits for men without making additional claims.
Flaxseeds are a powerhouse for women’s health, offering a variety of benefits from hormonal balance to heart health. Rich in phytoestrogens, they can help alleviate menopausal symptoms and regulate the menstrual cycle.
Additionally, flaxseeds contain lignans, which aid in balancing estrogen levels, supporting fertility, and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Their omega-3 fatty acids contribute to improved skin health, heart health, and cognitive function, while their high fiber content promotes digestive health and aids in weight management.
When considering milled flaxseed versus whole flaxseed, the primary difference lies in their digestion. While whole flaxseeds pass through the body without being digested, milled flaxseed, with its soluble and insoluble fiber content, is more easily absorbed, offering benefits like omega-3, protein, and magnesium.
Milled flaxseed is recommended for its ease of consumption and absorption, making it the preferred choice for incorporating into daily diets, whether sprinkled on breakfast items like porridge or blended into smoothies. Despite the appeal of whole flaxseeds for some consumers, the versatility and nutritional advantages of milled flaxseed make it a popular option for those seeking the benefits of flaxseed in their meals.
