Flax seeds are enriched with some of the most essential and basic nutrients that our body requires. These come enriched with fiber, protein, magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, lignin among other nutrients and minerals. Aligns present in them help in battling high levels of estrogen and help in maintaining balanced hormonal levels. Since flax seeds are energy-dense with great satiety value, these make you feel full and therefore facilitate weight management.
The study of Flax seed for diabetes patient showing a tablespoon of daily ground flax seeds for a month appears to improve fasting blood sugars, triglycerides, cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1c levels in diabetics was a non-blinded, non-randomized small study. If it was some drug they were testing, I’d never prescribe it based on this one study, but this isn’t a drug. It’s just flax seeds. There are just good side effects, so even if this study was a fluke or fraud, flax seeds have other benefits. In the worst case scenario the seed would still end up benefiting patients who aren’t quite ready or able to reverse their diabetes completely with a plant-based diet.
Flax seeds are caloric ally dense, but even adding a half cup of ground flax a day may not lead to weight gain. When 4 tablespoons a day were tested for 3 months the flax group ended up with a slimmer waist than the flax seed oil or control group. Because of the potential of raw flax seeds to interfere with thyroid function at high doses, though, I would only recommend 2 tablespoons a day. And I would not recommend flax seed supplementation during pregnancy.
