Flaxseed Reduces Inflammation
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.
Flaxseed Reduces Inflammation
Stop these refined oils which are full of Omega-6 Fats
Eat more Omega-3 for Heart Protection
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.
Flaxseed as Natural Aspirin
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.
Poor Cholesterol didn’t cause tear, it’s just trying to repair it.
Cholesterol repairs damaged vessels
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).

38-50 g/d of flaxseed to the usual diet

in LDL cholesterol.
Flaxseed brooms clogged blood vessels
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.
