Omega-3 - Rich in Flax Seed Flax seed is recognized as nature’s richest plant source of Omega-3 Oils. The Omega-3 Oils found in flaxseed have been shown in studies to reduce cholesterol levels, promote cardiovascular health and may help treat many other ailments, including cancer. Omega-3 studies have shown flaxseed also helps lower blood pressure, which may reduce the risk of Heart Disease. Flaxseed is also the best known source of phytoestrogens (called lignans), which are potential cancer fighters. What is Omega-3? Omega-3 fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fats, one of four basic types of fat that the body derives from food. (Cholesterol, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat are the others.) All polyunsaturated fats, including the omega-3, are increasingly recognized as important to human health. Where is Omega-3 found? Eating too many foods rich in saturated fats has been associated with the development of degenerative diseases, including heart disease and even cancer. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, however, are actually good for you. Omega-3s (found primarily in cold-water fish) fall into this category, along with omega-6s, another type of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in grains, most plant-based oils, poultry, and eggs.
