What Is
Flaxseed Oil
The seeds and oil of the
flax plant contain substances which promote good health. Flaxseed and
flaxseed oil are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty
acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease. ALA belongs to a
group of substances called omega-3 fatty acids.
Good health requires the right ratio of Omega 3 fatty acids to Omega 6
fatty acids in the diet. The ideal ratio is around 1:2. The average
american diet is more around 1:20 to 1:50, with way too much Omega 6 and
not enough Omega 3. The ratio present in Flaxseed oil is about 4:1. So
flaxseed oil is a good source of Omega 3. You should consume every day
small portions of flaxseed or flaxseed oil. However if flaxseed oil is
used in the diet for long time, without other oils, it may cause Omega 6
LA deficiency symptoms. So the best bet is to blend flaxseed oil with
other oils that contain more Omega 6, in order to get the right balance,
such as sesame oil, sunflower oil, evening primrose oil.
Flaxseed oil is good for the heart because it is the richest source of
alpha-linolenic acid. Flaxseed itself (ground or whole) also contains
lignans, which may have antioxidant actions and may help protect against
certain cancers, though not everyone agrees on this issue.
Benefits of including some flaxseed in your diet
Flaxseeds and flaxseed oil may help to:
- Lower cholesterol, protect against heart
disease and control high blood pressure. Several studies indicate that
flaxseed oil, as well as ground flaxseeds, can lower cholesterol, thereby
significantly reducing the risk of heart disease. Flaxseed oil may also
have a protective effect against angina (chest pain) and high blood
pressure. In addition, a 5-year study done recently at Boston's Simmons
College found that flaxseed oil may be useful in preventing a 2nd heart
attack. It may also help prevent elevated blood pressure by inhibiting
inflammatory reactions that cause poor circulation and artery-hardening
plaque.
- Counter inflammation associated with lupus
and gout. Omega-3 fatty acids appear to limit the inflammatory reaction
associated with these conditions. In cases of lupus, flaxseed oil not only
reduces inflammation in the joints, kidneys and skin, but also lowers
cholesterol levels that may be elevated by the disease. Taking flaxseed
oil for gout may lessen the often sudden and severe joint pain or swelling
that is a symptom of this condition.
- Control constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticular
disorders. Because they are high in soluble fiber, ground flaxseeds
can help ease the passage of stools and thus relieve constipation,
hemorrhoids and diverticular disease.
- Reduce cancer risk. The lignans in flaxseed
appear to play a role in protecting against breast, colon, prostate, and
perhaps skin cancer. In one study(1), prostate cancer patients who added
about 3 heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily to their diet, had
more slowly-dividing tumor cells and a greater rate of tumor cell death
than men who did not follow such a diet, after about 5 weeks.
The researchers found no significant difference in levels of prostate
specific antigen (PSA), a protein in the blood which indicates prostate
cancer progression, between the 2 groups - although men in the early
stages of the disease experienced a trend toward lower levels.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men, excluding
skin cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 198,000
new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. While
the cancer will be diagnosed in about 1 in 6 men, about 1 in 30 will die
of the disease.
Flaxseed oil with cottage cheese?
Dr. Johanna Budwig is known and highly respected around the world, as
Germany's premier biochemist. Over the years she has published a number of
books including "Flax Oil as a True Aid Against Arthritis, Heart
Infarction, Cancer, and other Diseases".
In the mid 1950's, Dr. Budwig began her extensive research on the benefits
of flaxseed because of its rich essential fatty acid content known as "linoleic
and linolenic". Dr. Budwig assisted many seriously ill, even those who
were given up for terminal by orthodox medical doctors, helping them to
regain their health through a simple regimen of flaxseed oil blended with
cottage cheese.
Dr. Budwig supplemented her patients' diets with 2 tablespoons of flaxseed
oil combined with 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Dr. Budwig found that a
yellowish green substance in their blood was replaced with a healthy red
pigment, hemoglobin. She also found that the tumors receded and
disappeared, anemia was alleviated, and vital energy was regained.
