I
first got to know about these tiny little seeds about 2 years ago, when I was
in the U.S. You could find a whole section dedicated to flax in the
supermarkets with flax meal, flax cereals and what not. That’s when I did my
little research and understood the marvels of these seeds. Flax seeds are
considered the wonder food of the age. There is a growing popularity for these
seeds in all over the world and why not when it has such notable nutritious
powers in its bag. It helps cut down
cholesterol, aids dieters in curbing hunger when taken in between meals and
when both the above points are taken into consideration it ultimately assists
in weight reduction. There’s
some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. That’s quite a
tall order for a tiny seed that’s been around for centuries. Oh and by the way,
I can definitely guarantee the cholesterol reduction part as my dad is a
walking testament for it. His otherwise abnormal cholesterol levels got back to
normal in just 4 months with regular intake of flax meal and no omega-3
supplement pills!!
