Linseeds are a good source of fibre and omega 3 fatty acids. They have anti-cancer effects and may help manage menopausal symptoms. They can prevent and relieve constipation as well as soothe digestion.
Linseeds are rich in vitamins and minerals including zinc, iron, vitamin E, B-group vitamins, magnesium and calcium.
Studies have found that the soluble fibre in linseed can help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels, and the insoluble fibre - which makes up two thirds of the fibre provided by Linseeds - aids digestion by increasing bulk and reducing the time that waste remains in the body.
So, if you are suffering from indigestion or verging on menopause, then try to include more whole linseeds in your diet.
