Dr. Om Verma discusses the health benefits of flaxseed, emphasizing its role in reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing atherosclerosis by acting similarly to aspirin. He highlights clinical trials showing that flaxseed can significantly decrease LDL cholesterol and notes its importance in preventing strokes and heart attacks. Incorporating 30-50 grams of flaxseed daily into the diet can be beneficial for heart health.

6. Flaxseed inhibits the production of pro-
inflammatory cytokines, eicosanoids,
cytokines and platelet-activating factor
derived from arachidonic acid (an omega-6
fatty acid) and thus reduces inflammatory
responses.

7. Alpha Linolenic Acid helps the heart is by
decreasing the ability of platelets to
clump together, a reaction involved in the
development of atherosclerosis (hardening
of the arteries), that means it acts as
natural aspirin.

8. Flax seed helps to lower high blood
pressure, clears clogged coronaries like a
sweeper, lowers high blood cholesterol,
bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride
levels and raises good HDL cholesterol.

9. Flaxseeds has shown to decrease the ratio
of LDL to HDL cholesterol in several
human studies and to increase the level of
apolipoprotein A1, which is the major
protein found in HDL cholesterol (the
"good" cholesterol).

10. Three clinical trials found that adding
38-50 g/d of flaxseed to the usual diet
for 4-6 weeks resulted in 8-14% decreases
in LDL cholesterol.

11. Flaxseeds prevent clot formation in
arteries, which may result in strokes,
heart attacks and thrombosis. Omega-3
Fatty acids present in Flaxseed appear to
enhance the mechanical performance and
electrical stability of the heart and to
protect against fatal arrhythmias.

cooking
 Sprinkle ground flaxseeds onto breakfast
shake or your cereal.
 Add flaxseeds to your chapatti, cookie or
