Flaxseeds – Superfood Health Benefits
Natural Diabetes Control and Multi-Purpose Disease Fighter
Flaxseeds (Linum usitatissimum aka Linseed, Lint Bells) prove to be a more interesting herbal remedy as the research continues, especially for natural diabetes control. Used since at least the 23rd century BC, in Egypt and the Middle East, modern studies on flaxseeds offer new and revealing medical properties, besides the nutritive values of the flax plant.
Flaxseeds have a long history of use for fighting inflammation and digestive issues, but as medical studies frequently indicate, the long-term benefits of flaxseeds in fighting more drastic health issues continues to grow – including the possibilities of antioxidant properties as a cancer-fighting agent. Flaxseeds are also an important source of Omega-3 fatty acids or “good fats,” beneficial in cell health and overall nutrition.
Inflammation:
Soothing infusions of flaxseeds are known to relieve (or reduce) inflammations throughout the body in mucous membranes including in the lungs, intestines and urinary passages.
Antioxidant:
The superfood flaxseeds are a powerful antioxidant. Help to maintain cell health and fight off the damaging effects of our modern environments. Maintaining healthy cell walls and genetic structures may help you fight off a variety of possible cancers later in life.
Flaxseeds contain one of the highest levels of lingans in the plant kingdom (as much as 75-800 times other plants). These nutrient properties are high in antioxidants, making the seeds ideal for ongoing heart health.
Add flaxseeds to cereals, yogurts and healthy snacks for added nutritional benefits.
Digestion:
With an active ability to reduce inflammation in a variety of mucosal membranes throughout the body, flaxseeds have been used for digestion for millennia. Some of the common medical problems that various cultures have used flaxseeds to treat include dysentery, diarrhea, urinary infections, kidney disorders and diseases, urinary stones and even pulmonary (heart) catarrhs. Effective laxative enemas derived from a decoction of flaxseeds. As a rich source of fiber, the seeds have natural laxative properties from normal ingestion.
Diabetes:
Flaxseeds and extracts may be a natural diabetes control. Some studies have indicated that the super food flaxseeds can also help lower and moderate blood sugars. Adding the seeds to a healthy breakfast of yogurts or cereals may have some ameliorating benefits for pre-diabetics or Type 2 diabetics.
Cancers:
Recent herbal and medical studies are indicating that flaxseeds have important cancer-fighting properties. Some of these properties are to the antioxidant benefits of the seeds as well. Recent medical studies indicate that flaxseeds may be particularly beneficial to males as one possible nutritive treatment (in the long term) to help reduce the risk of prostate cancers.
Miscellaneous:
For millennia, people have understood some of the benefits of flaxseeds. Some of the miscellaneous medical benefits indicate that flaxseeds area a demulcent and emollient with known qualities for aiding with ongoing or recurring coughs. Flaxseeds also have external medical uses including alleviating skin irritations.
Warnings: Flax oils and other herbal treatments derived from flax taken in large quantities may build up toxic levels. There is some naturally occurring cyanide, but the quantities needed for harmful effects are quite substantial.

Flax seed actually tastes good and has a nice nutty flavor. I have found that children rarely eat it! What I do is mix it in the pancake mix and the kids never know the difference. Check out my pancake recipe using flax seed.
Flax seed and Kylea’s Joint Life Plus formula can really help with arthritis of mild to moderate nature. Also, as an alternative to Flax Seed, Chia Meal is becoming more and more popular because frankly, it has more nutrition per serving and can also be used as a flour substitute.
