How to make nature's cholesterol fighters work for you.
With the increasing consumption of processed foods, our diets are becoming overloaded with omega-6 fatty acids at the expense of the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, which are found primarily in flaxseed and its oil, and in deep-water fish. Although they have been used therapecutically for over 5,000 years, only recently have scientists learned that flaxseed or flaxseed oil may lower blood cholesterol levels that are often associated with heart attacks and strokes, reduce the viscosity of blood, lower arterial blood pressure, prevent colon and breast cancer, improve moods, diminish allergies and produce a healthier skin. As detailed in this informative booklet, the increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseed products may well provide protection against some of our major degenerative diseases.
