Why are flax seeds so highly recommended by health professionals? These tiny seeds might be small but they pack a ton of nutritional value. The mild nutty flavor won't overpower the flavor of what you are using it in, it only has around 35 calories per tablespoon, and that tablespoon packs loads of vitamins, minerals and the highly valued OMEGA-3 fatty acids...around 1500 mg per tablespoon.
These healthy fats will help lubricate your joints, lower cholesterol, and even help with reducing your risk of heart related issues...not to mention that these healthy fats can help to feed your brain.
The body can't make Omega-3's..these are called essential fatty acids, and we can only get them from the foods we eat. This fat is an essential food for children's developing brains and also for adults to maintain proper brain function. If you consider fat lubricating joints...this also works for the brain in order for it to run smoothly. This fat can help with memory, performance and can help the brains transmitters to fire properly. Omega's may also support with warding off depression and support the alleviation of some focus related mental issues. Flax seeds pack protein as well, and can help to ward off certain types of cancers, they pack a ton of fiber and they are filling so can help with weight control.
One of the easiest ways to get your suggested one tablespoon per day is to add it to your smoothies.
