Flaxseed, BIO, 550 g
Organic Flaxseed is a certified organic product from Damhert for effective stimulation of intestinal function and general well-being. Flaxseed is ideal for adding to salads, smoothies, muesli, yogurt and more, but can also be mixed into bread dough, pancakes, muffins, waffles and more. Soaking it in water creates a jelly-like consistency that can be used as a plant-based binder (egg substitute) in cakes and puddings.
Main advantages:
- High Omega-3 content;
- Presence of lignans with digestive and antioxidant properties;
- Significant concentration of vitamins B1, B5, B6 and B9 for energy metabolism.
Flaxseed has an anti-inflammatory effect by promoting the synthesis of prostaglandins PG3 and helping to maintain blood vessels in good condition. This prevents the accumulation of cholesterol and triglycerides. Several studies confirm that the consumption of foods enriched with flaxseed reduces the levels of C-reactive protein in the blood (a measure of inflammation) by up to 15%. The anti-inflammatory effect is used for the symptomatic treatment of autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, psoriasis and lupus.
It affects metabolic syndrome. Some studies have shown that its symptoms can be reduced by consuming flaxseed daily for three months. The seeds lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels. They help control weight, especially by reducing dangerous fat around the waist.
Affects some neurological diseases. Essential Omega-3 fatty acids are part of the membranes of neurons, where biochemical reactions necessary for the proper functioning of the brain take place. In this regard, it is likely that flax seeds can be used to combat various neurological disorders or to maintain and improve intellectual abilities.
Some researchers claim that flax may be helpful in cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, and may also reduce or prevent symptoms of some psychoses and bipolar disorder.
Helps against constipation, gastritis and enteritis. Flaxseed is rich in dietary fiber, and upon contact with water it acquires a viscous consistency, making it ideal for relieving constipation, as well as gastritis or enteritis.
Affects the symptoms of menopause. With its content of lignans and phytoestrogens, flaxseed relieves hot flashes, joint pain, water retention, weight gain, etc. Flaxseed is considered effective in preventing osteoporosis caused by menopause. The content of calcium, phosphorus and other minerals in its composition helps to slow down the loss of resistance and the weakening of bones and teeth.
It facilitates weight loss by burning fat, providing a feeling of satiety, preventing anxiety and stress, fighting fluid retention, and improving digestion.
