Flaxseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, which the body needs to properly function, but cannot produce them on its own. One of the Essential fatty acids found in flaxseed oil is alpha-linolenic acid, which the body converts to omega-3 fatty acid, appears to reduce the risk of heart disease and other ailments. According to the Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute, a flaxseed is about 40% oil by weight, of this oil 55% of it is omega-3 fatty acid. One teaspoon of flaxseed oil contains 2.5 grams of omega-3, twice as much as people normally get from their diet. Flaxseed oil provides approximately 50% more omega-3 than you can get from fish oil, minus the awful after taste. Flaxseed oil also contains linoleic acid or omega-6 fatty acid, omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.

Almost every system in your body can benefit from flaxseed oil’s properties they include: cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, as well as arthritis related joint pain.

Cardiovascular and circulatory system health: Research has shown that Omega-3 fatty acids help lower blood triglycerides and cholesterol. Also aids in preventing clogged arteries, which can result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.

Immune system: Flaxseed oil can protect against lowered immune system function. More studies need to be done, but alpha-linolenic acid may also treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and may increase lung function in asthma sufferers, prevent breast cancer, combat allergies, aid with diabetes, prevent and treat depression and reduce menstrual pain.

Muscle Health: It also helps fatigued muscle recover faster after exertion, healing sprains and bruises; and increase energy in the body and stamina. Research showed that Omega-3’s essential fatty acids increased protein metabolism by restoring diabetic sensitivity, which the body needs to effectively use food for energy and rebuild tissues.

Flaxseed oil may also helps with healthy growth of hair (both internal and external health), with Sjogren’s syndrome, and burning body fat. Alpha linoleic acid helps skin cells regenerate and become plumper, which visibly reduces fine lines and deeper-set wrinkles in the skin. One report showed that women who consumed the most linoleic acid had the youngest looking skin among persons 40 – 74 years of age. It also may help with dry skin and eczema since persons who suffer from these ailments have essential fatty acid deficiencies. Flaxseed oil has been shown to improve the body’s absorption of Calcium, for stronger teeth, bones and nails.
