First of all, I want to point out that these seeds, if not ground or soaked beforehand, pass through the body without having any effect. Therefore, I suggest you consume them in the morning in oatmeal, cereals, yogurt, or smoothies. They can also be used in salads, cakes, and natural flax bread. The recommended amount is 1 teaspoon/day.

Flax seeds have been appreciated for their qualities for 4000 years, being consumed by the Greeks and Romans like nuts. These small seeds are of two colors, brown and gold, but have similar properties. Together they are on the top list of seeds rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that visibly lower cholesterol, prevent blood pressure, have anti-inflammatory properties, maintain a healthy heart, reduce the risk of arthritis, Parkinson's, help fight constipation and hemorrhoids, remove and prevent the formation of gallstones, reduce dry eyes and prevent an eye disease called Macular Degeneration.

A high percentage in this seed is Lignans, being the only plant that has the richest deposit of lignans and fiber. This is a chemical component found only in plants, having a chemical composition similar to that of estrogen (phytoestrogen) and antioxidants. Because of the hormone balancing element called lingan and the plant estrogen (phytoestrogen), all deposited in flax oil, it helps stabilize and balance the estrogen-progesterone dose, helping to improve uterine function, regulate the menstrual cycle and cramps, female infertility, endometriosis, as well as to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. Also in the case of menstruation, flax oil helps block the formation of a type of hormone called prostaglandins, which is often released in excess during this period, leading to excessive blood loss.

Lignans can help lower cholesterol and improve digestive health, help maintain a healthy heart, have anti-cancer properties and against the formation of certain types of tumors. Also in the case of diabetes, it can reduce the severity of the disease and stabilize blood sugar levels. (Source)

Another well-appreciated property is the high fiber content that can help in some cases of constipation. In the first places in combating chronic constipation, before flax seeds are the following but separately: green juice, a cup of warm water with lemon in the morning on an empty stomach, 2, 3 tablespoons of bran with honey, also on an empty stomach and flax seeds but in the form of flour because that's the only way they work. It is also good to know that per 100 g of seeds we benefit from 20 g of protein, 28 g of fiber and 41 g of healthy fats. (Source)
