Flax Seeds.
Flax is a
member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae. It is native to the region
extending from the eastern Mediterranean to India and was probably first
domesticated in the Fertile Crescent. It is a rich source of dietary fiber.
It has been found that it regulates the
increase of lipids in the blood after a meal. It is causes more balanced rise
and decrease in triglyceride levels thus controls the appetite of an
individual. This might have a slimming effect for some people as the metabolic
processes are slowed down thus the body require less energy.
The seeds
contain a lot of protein too which makes this to be a very balanced and
nutritious food. Just having a couple of spoons of flax seeds with any of your
meal a day will provide you with essential nutrients you don’t want to miss
out. Regular intake of flax seeds might boost your metabolism, improve
digestive health, lower cholesterol and possibly prevent many diseases
alongside with having a balanced diet and exercise of course.
