Flaxseed, called linseed in some countries, is a good source of dietary 
 
fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans.

Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B 
 
vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc. But now 
 
let¡¯s talk about the nutritional values of flax seed. They are the best 
 
source for Omega 3 fatty acids, which is great for the brain and 
 
concentration. Adding flax seeds to your diet can increase your ability to 
 
concentrate better and think faster.

Although drugs have very important clinical uses, they are only part of the 
 
solution. A comprehensive approach to treating cognitive disorders should 
 
include foods and supplements that benefit the overall health of brain 
 
cells. In one study men with prostate cancer who ate an ounce of ground 
 
flaxseeds (almost three tablespoons) a day as part of a very-low-fat diet 
 
were able to slow the progress of their cancers between the time they 
 
were diagnosed and the time of surgery.

Beating the Weight Loss Bandits

If you're on a weight loss program you're under constant attack - attack 
 
from the food bandits all around you.

There is food waiting to ambush your weight loss efforts at every turn.

+ It's there on every street corner: available, fast, in huge portions and 
 
full of fat.

+ It's there at every checkout: convenient, brightly-packaged and calling 
 
"Eat me! Eat me!"

+ It¡¯s there at work for every occasion: birthdays, promotions, leaving 
 
parties, "because it¡¯s Friday".

+ It¡¯s there at home brought to you larger than life on every TV set, 
 
seductively advertised, calling from the fridge and pantry "I¡¯m here! Come 
 
and get me! You know you want to!"

Given that the food bandits are out there, what can you do about them?

Be ready to defend yourself!

Know your weak spots ¨C those food temptations you find hard to resist, 
 
and plan to

1. Avoid Them

Like the omega-3s found in fish, it appears to reduce the risk of heart 
 
disease and numerous other ailments.

Flax Hull Lignans are very beneficial for many health conditions. Studies 
 
have shown that SDG or lignan (secoisolariciresinol diglycoside, but for 
 
simplicity this substance will be referred to as lignans) As a source of fiber 
 
mucilage, oral flaxseed (not flaxseed oil) may possess laxative properties, 
 
although only one human trial has been conducted for this indication.

Lignan are molecules with anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial 
 
properties. Flax seeds are the richest source of lignans. Diets high in 
 
lignans can lead to a lower chance of getting colon, prostate, and breast 
 
cancer.

There are many benefits to adding flax seeds to your diet. Well for 
 
instance they can get rid of your constipation problem.

Keep away from fattening food as much as you can. Don't drive past fast 
 
food outlets even if it means a detour. Keep tempting high-fat snacks out 
 
of your home. Give TV ads a wide berth ¨C in fact give TV a miss 
 
altogether and get out and do something. Walk away from offers of food, 
 
declining as politely and firmly as possible. "No thanks, I¡¯m not hungry just 
 
now" should be enough.

2. Use humour

Treat your encounter with food bandits with a sense of fun. Make a note 
 
in your mind that you¡¯ve spotted one "Alert! Food bandit on left flank. 
 
Eyes right! Defeat!"

3. Don't let them upset you

If you succumb once in a while to the food bandits, don't let it get you 
 
down. Brush yourself down and be ready to come out fighting against the 
 
next lot. 4. Celebrate your successes no matter how small

Be delighted each time you spot and overcome a food bandit. Feel proud 
 
that you were able to show who's in charge. You're the boss! Once you 
 
recognise the food bandits for what they are, they lose their power. Each 
 
time you take them on and defeat them, you'll notice their influence over 
 
you diminish.

Gradually you get into the habit of ignoring the bandits. Long term result? 
 
¨C a slimmer, healthier, beautiful you, in total control of the food you eat. 
 
Flaxseeds also contain omega-6 fatty acids in the form of linoleic acid; 
 
omega-6s are the same healthy fats found in vegetable oils.

In this Omega-3 benefits and facts section you will learn the basics about 
 
omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) from fish oils and their function in our 
 
bodies. Flax Seed muffins pregents Cancer? Find Flax Seed Recipe today! 
 
Omega-3 for health!

Flax Seed Oil is a rich balanced source of essential fatty acids. The high 
 
content of omega-3 fatty acids in flax seed oil is one of its positive 
 
attributes.

But saturated and trans fatty acids are more responsible to the statement 
 
above; while other polyunsaturated fats such as omega 3 fatty acids seem 
 
to offer a protective effect.

So if you decided to use pre-grounded flax seed like it Nutri Flax, store it 
 
in your refrigerator immediately after it is opened and used to minimize its 
 
oxidation.
