Rich Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These seeds are among the best plants for providing alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), a unique fatty acid that is classified as an omega-3 fatty acid. These unsaturated fats that maintain a healthy balance are the omega-3 fatty acids, which are critical for brain and heart health as well as for reducing inflammation throughout the body. When included in a diet, they can help people consume more omega-3 fatty acids-especially those who avoid seafood, which is another important source of these fatty acids.

High in Dietary Fibre: They are good sources of fibre, offering both soluble and insoluble fibre. Fibre has a critical role in maintaining the health of the digestive system, bowel movement, constipation prevention, and intestinal equilibrium. There are numerous benefits to using flaxseeds, including improved digestion and blood sugar regulation, which also helps to prevent some digestive problems including diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Antioxidant Properties: The plant components in these seeds, called lignans, are what keep us healthy and help our bodies get rid of toxins. In contrast to free radicals, which are destroyed by oxidative damage and contribute to aging, inflammation, and chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease, antioxidants are one of the most significant components.

Benefits for Heart Health: These seeds are widely recognized for being rich in lignans and omega-3 fatty acids, both of which have been linked to improved heart health. Possible

Preventive Measures for Cancer: According to one line of research, the lignans included in flax seeds may be able to prevent cancer. These lignans offer protection against bowel cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Lignans were found to have anticancer characteristics because they inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, which is one of their known anticancer properties.
