Presently, televisions and radio advertisements are flooding the airwaves with alternative medicines in the form of herbal food supplements. The reason why there are many alternative medicine advertisements is because people have gone crazy over the herbal food supplements thinking that the "cure all" promised by the marketers is true.
Maybe the reason behind all these craziness lies in the failure of traditional western medicine to live up to its expectations in the "art of healing". Also, recent surveys have shown that the younger generations are more prone to the diseases which are normally experiences when one reaches the age of 50 and above.
Thus the entrance of another natural herbal food supplement, flaxseed, which is said to improve ones health, came as no surprise. Using flaxseed for health reasons has long been practiced around 5, 000 BC in places such as Egypt, Greece and Rome. Believed to have possessed magical powers, people worshiped it because it not only improved energy and health conditions but was also able to heal the intestine and other skin conditions.
Though flaxseeds have been widely used a long time ago, it has been only recently that strong recommendation for its consumption has been released by top health professionals. The medicine and herbal world are now actively seizing this opportunity to commercialize the use of flaxseed for profit.
Thirty percent of flaxseed is fiber while 40% of it is healthy fat. The high content of fiber contributes to the improvement of the conditions of diabetic and hypoglycemia patients. Furthermore, flaxseed contains properties such as lignans and Omega 3 fatty acids. Lignans are responsible for improving heart conditions and combating cancer. Omega 3 fatty acids, on the other hand, nourish the brain and give that health glow to the skin and hair. The combination of fiber and Omega 3 fatty acid in flaxseed can increase metabolism in the body which can help reduce fat in the body faster.
