Flaxseed is considered one of the most powerful plants on the planet....

​Aside from evidence that these little seeds have the ability to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes there are all sorts of healthy components in flaxseeds that have given them a primarily healthy reputation. The following three ingredients are perhaps the most persuasive...

• Omega-3  Essential Fatty Acids- These are the so called, "good", fats that are advantageous to the cardiovascular system and good for heart health
• Lignans- Which has both plant estrogen and plant antioxidant qualities- which some studies have suggested can fight breast cancer.
• Fiber- Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber types making it a great addition to your diet because it will keep you fill and your digestive system on track and healthy. 

​Although it is hard to be conclusive with any health beneficiaries that show indications of reduced cancer... there is research which indicates that flax may indeed reduce the risk of certain cancers, as well as, diseases associated with the cardiovascular system and the lungs. Recent studies also suggest that flaxseed may have a protective effect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.
