Just a tablespoon of flaxseeds contains about 3 grams of fiber, which is great for promoting digestive health and keeping things moving smoothly. Flaxseeds are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3s are essential fats that play a vital role in heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation in the body. Including flaxseeds in your diet can help support a healthy heart and brain. In addition to fiber and omega-3s, flaxseeds are rich in antioxidants called lignans. These lignans have been linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help protect against chronic diseases.
