Benefits of flaxseed.

Flaxseed is a very multifunctional product, it contains a huge amount of useful substances, vitamins and trace elements. They are useful for both men and women. It is an excellent source of fiber, minerals and plant-based Omega-3s. Seeds can be eaten whole, but in order for them to be well absorbed, it is best to germinate or grind into flour. Flax seeds are good for women's health due to the content of phytoestrogens - plant analogues of female hormones in the outer layer of seeds (they are especially abundant in white flax). Regular consumption of flax seeds alleviates the negative manifestations of menopause and is an excellent prevention of cancer of the breast and uterus. In 2005, a study of 30 women showed that consumption of 40 grams of flaxseed per day can reduce the frequency or severity of hot flashes in women who do not use estrogen therapy during menopause.
