Researchers recently discovered that linenrich in lignans – powerful antioxidants – and phytoestrogens reduced the risk of breast cancerof the’uterus or even the prostate. A study of a cohort of more than 6,000 pre and postmenopausal women showed that those who consumed flaxseed regularly had a 20 to 30% lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who did not. didn’t eat it. Promising results that can only encourage you to taste them, especially since these seeds with soft fibers facilitate the transit and allow the toxins present in the intestines to be evacuated.
…and a weapon against coronary heart disease
The antioxidants in flax seeds and their concentration in Omega 3 make it an interesting weapon against cardiovascular pathologies. The former preserve the health of the arteries. As for the latter, they thin the blood and dilate the vessels. In addition, the soluble fibers they contain help to lower the rate of “bad” cholesterol as well as triglycerides, which protect the arteries and the heart.
Help with hot flashes
In a study of 29 women who ate 40g of ground flaxseed daily for six weeks, researchers were able to observe the benefits of flaxseed when menopause. Not only their hot flashes were halved, but they were also in better spirits, and their muscle aches and joint also decreased. A result that must be qualified, however, since the sample of people tested remains small and other research must be conducted to date to confirm the advantages of linen in this area.
How to consume them?
• Whole flax seeds are poorly digested. They must therefore be ground before adding them to your yoghurts, salads, omelettes… or incorporating them into 1 or 2 rusks to make breadcrumbs.
• In grain products. The benefits of flax seeds are also used in the food industry: bread, bagel, cereal.
• Brunettes or blondes, it does not change anything in terms of health. It’s just a matter of taste and color, because the nutritional qualities remain the same.
• Via enriched eggs. Flaxseed is also used to feed chickens on many farms, producing eggs that are naturally enriched with Omega 3 : a great way to take advantage of the health benefits of linen casually!
