The nutrient value of flaxseed meal is well known. It contains good amounts of phenolic compounds, which have anticancer and antioxidative properties. There are three main phenolic acids in flaxseed: ferulic acid (10.9 mg\/g), chlorogenic acid (7.5 mg\/g), and gallic acid (2.8 mg\/g). Flaxseed also contains small amounts of phytic acid and flavone C and O-glycosides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flaxseed meal can be purchased in a bulk form in a health food store or grocery store. It can also be ground at home in a coffee grinder or food processor. It can be added to hot or cold cereal, bread, yogurt, or baked into a variety of baked goods. Be sure to drink plenty of water when taking flaxseed meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are diabetic, it is important to know the right amount of flaxseed to consume in your daily diet. The flaxseed meal should be at least half your daily value. This food is packed with nutrients and can help control your blood sugar levels. A teaspoon of flaxseed meal is equal to 2 mL of fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ALA fatty acid in flaxseed has anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic properties. These properties can help prevent and treat heart disease. It is also helpful in lowering cholesterol. High LDL cholesterol is associated with diseases such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. A 12-week study in 30 men with high cholesterol found that flaxseed reduced LDL levels. Furthermore, the omega-3 fatty acid ALA may treat clogged arteries, which is a major risk factor for stroke. In addition, studies on high blood pressure have shown promising results with milled flaxseed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
