Flaxseed benefits
Flaxseed
You can flash your way in a better health by using flax seeds. These seeds have been used for thousands of years. Start to get a tablespoon of flaxseeds in on the daily within 3 weeks you will notice a different. Nothing wants to be eating especially seeds. This is why I may come with a hard coating. This also stops from the nutrients that's inside from being exposed to the environment. This is why you consume and seeds is best to crack them open. When you crack them up then you are exposing yourself to the nutrients.
You may have heard that flaxseeds contain Omega-3 which they do but. They contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which is 1/3 of the omega-3 family. The body must convert to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) then to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The conversion rate changes from person to person it all depends on your gut bacteria. So it's best to consume a allergy supplement with EPA and DHA already in it. Omega-3s are normally high and seafoods and fish oil supplements. But they only contain high levels of omega-3s because they consume the vegetation that has omega-3s already.
They contain antioxidants which help reduce free radicals. Free radicals are a natural part of cell metabolism. But too many of them causes of oxidative stress which is damaging. Anytime there is free radicals there is some form of inflammation. Think of free radicals as fire🔥 antioxidants as water 💦.
Whenever you consume any animal product you are consuming the middle man per se. This is why the nutrient levels of animal products versus plants is normally higher. Animal products are synonymous with protein in the protein in the animal comes from consuming plants. And if you pay attention the meats people consume heavy are typically from herbivores or omnivores and mostly eat plants.
Helps reduce cholesterol levels which is a major contributor to cardiovascular death. Which is the number one cause of death in the world. It takes a life every 33 seconds then 7 seconds later a person is having a stroke/ heart attack. If something is good for the hard it is good for the blood pressure, cholesterol and weight. These seeds are great for helping with type 2 diabetes reduce their blood sugar and increase insulin sensitivity.
Assists with digestion, constipation, bloating, gas, acid reflux, reduces candida overgrowth, fiber aka prebiotics etc. A prebiotic is fiber which one exist in fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds etc. Fiber is not found in any form of meat I’m talking about seafood, fried kangaroo pouch, chicken, boiled platypus beak/ tail, beef, snake scales, pork, BBQ turtle back, bison, smoked patrick starfish legs, turkey, stir goose neck, elf, deer etc.
You whole digestive tract from your mouth to your anus has microbiota. Which has bacteria, fungi, viruses etc which have good and bad functions. Whenever the bad functions happen problems will happen. You may have heard of someone having H pyloi or candida. The majority of people have H pyloi and everyone has candida. It's the overgrowth of these bacteria that are the problem.
Prebiotics is what the bacteria mainly feeds on, probiotics are the bacteria and postbiotics are the byproducts of probiotics. Examples of postbiotics byproducts are bacterial lysates (bacteria compounds) , cell wall fragments, cell-free supernatants (bacteria and yeast compounds), exopolysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, serotonin (90% of the production), short-chain fatty acids ,Vitamin B1 thiamine, Vitamin B5 panthotenic acid, Vitamin B7 biotin, Vitamin B9 folate, Vitamin K etc.
Interesting enough they have build a $50,000,000,000 plus industry mainly based off of people being uneducated or miseducated on their health. This is why education has to become a mandatory it shouldn't be seen as optional.
Fiber is a carbohydrate that has 4 calories. Over 90% of people do not get into fiber in daily. There are 3 forms of fiber soluble, insoluble and resistance starch but we will focus on the first two. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t. Soluble fiber creates a gel when it dissolves also is good for cholesterol and sugar. Insoluble fiber attracts water into your feces that makes it softer and more simple to defecate without stain. Besides not getting enough fiber not getting enough water leads to constipation. Insoluble fiber also helps increase insulin sensitivity.
Plants usually contain a mixture of both types. It’s mixed views on if you should count fiber for or against your total calorie intake. Since soluble fiber feeds the bacteria some say it should be counted towards are total calories. Some say even with that it shouldn’t count towards are total calories but substracted. To keep it safe instead of multiplying 4 calories per gram with fiber multiple by 1.5 or 2.
