Flax Seed

Flax seed oil is noted to have high nutritional value, making it a priority choice of food for health conscious people. Flaxseed oil bears the distinction of providing an optimal balance of two Essential Fatty Acids; the omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid). Essential fatty acids (EFA's) have several vital functions. They increase metabolic rate, improve metabolism, increase oxygen uptake, and increase energy production. These oils are the only fats that become prostaglandins, which play key roles in regulating the cardiovascular, digestive and reproductive functions; inflammation and healing; functioning of the brain; and body heat and calorie burning.
