High in Fiber, but Low in Carbs

One of the most extraordinary benefits of Flax seeds is that they contain high levels of mucilage gum content.  Mucilage is a gel-forming fiber that is water soluble and has incredible benefits on the intestinal tract.

The mucilage can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine which can increase nutrient absorption.

Flax is extremely high in both soluble and insoluble fiber which can support colon detoxification, fat loss and reduce sugar cravings.

It is recommended one should consume 30-40 g of high fiber foods daily to keep the digestion right.

Healthy Skin and Hair

If you want healthier skin, hair and nails then consider adding 2 tbsp of Flax seeds to your smoothie or 1 tbsp of Flax seed oil to your daily routine.

The ALA fats in Flax seeds benefits the skin and hair by providing essential fats as well as b-vitamins which can help reduce dryness and flakiness. It can also improve symptoms of acne, rosacea, and eczema. This also applies to eye health as Flax can reduce dry eye syndrome.

Weight Loss

Since Flax is full of healthy fats and fiber, it will help you feel satisfied longer so you will eat fewer calories overall which may lead to weight loss. ALA fats may also help reduce inflammation.

Lower Cholesterol

The journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that adding Flax seeds into your diet can naturally reduce cholesterol levels.

The soluble fiber content of Flax seeds trap fat and cholesterol in the digestive system and make it unable to be absorbed. Soluble fiber also traps bile, which is made from cholesterol in the gallbladder. The bile is then excreted through the digestive system, forcing the body to make more, using up excess cholesterol in the blood and lowering cholesterol overall.

Flaxseeds are Gluten-Free

Using Flax is a great way to naturally replace gluten-containing grains which are inflammatory where Flax is anti-inflammatory.  So, Flax seeds are great for those who have Celiac disease or have a gluten-sensitivity. They may also be a good alternative to omega-3 fats in fish for people with a seafood allergy.

Besides other incredible nutrition facts, Flax seeds are also packed with antioxidants. Lignans are unique fiber-related polyphenols that provide us with antioxidant benefits for anti-aging, hormone balance and cellular health.

Maybe the biggest Flax seed benefits come from its ability to promote digestive health. The ALA in Flax can help protect the lining of the digestive tract and maintain GI health.
