How to cook flax seed porridge and what are its benefits: the expert tells

Flaxseed has recently become a very popular product. Nowadays, you can often find them in various yogurts and baked goods. It is also added to sweet breakfasts and salads. So the question of the impact of this product on the body is quite interesting.

The well-known Ukrainian nutritionist Svitlana Fus wrote on her Facebook page about why flaxseeds should be added to your dietю

The expert notes that flaxseed helps cleanse the intestines and satiates the body due to its dietary fiber. The product also contains a large amount of phytoestrogen. These are phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity that protect the female body from tumors. Flax also normalizes cholesterol levels. ⠀

One of the biggest advantages of this product is the large amount of omega-3 fatty acids that our body needs every day. They reduce blood viscosity, increase vascular elasticity, improve digestion, and reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity. But all this is only possible in combination with a proper diet. ⠀
