Flaxseed contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is one of the best plant-based sources of essential fatty acids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research into the weight-loss benefits of healthy fats is still ongoing. However, current information is that these fats may have the following benefits (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5872768\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve glucose sensitivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce insulin resistance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce markers of inflammation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speed fat oxidation by stimulating a specific receptor in the liver that affects fat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, choosing polyunsaturated fats is better for weight management than foods containing saturated fats.

Yes \u2014 and science has proven its enormous <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/what-is-palm-sugar\/\">benefits<\/a>. It\u2019s available as whole, milled, or ground seeds and as flaxseed oil. The best way to get the benefits of flax seeds is by consuming them ground instead of whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your digestive tract cannot break down and extract all the nutrients in flaxseed. Grinding them creates a flax meal \u2014 an easily digestible variety of the nutritional powerhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research has proven that extended exposure to oxygen, heat, and light reduces the potency of polyunsaturated fats (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4375225\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Experts recommend grinding the seeds at home so that the healthy polyunsaturated fats aren\u2019t exposed to oxygen for long while sitting on a shelf at the store. A coffee grinder or small food processor is good enough for the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have no choice but to buy pre-ground flax seeds, store the meal in a dark container not made of metal. Metallic containers contain minerals that contribute to fat breakdown, and may interfere with the levels of heart-healthy fats in the powder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flaxseeds are a versatile food that can be used as an ingredient or by themselves. To reap the health benefits of these seeds here are four ways you can use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the main ingredient \u2013 whole or as a flax meal, they can be the main ingredient for recipes such as bread and crackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an egg substitute \u2013 flax meal can replace eggs in any baking recipe by mixing 1 tbsp powder in 3 tbsp water and letting it sit for 15 minutes before use.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use flaxseed as a topping \u2013 flax meal can be sprinkled on smoothies, yoghurt, or oatmeal for more nutrition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a mix in \u2013 flax meal can be mixed into bread dough, applesauce, or smoothies to boost nutrition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a dietary supplement, flaxseed comes in different forms such as capsules, tablets, and powder. Oral supplements have less fiber but might be more convenient for people who don\u2019t have the time or tools to grind the seeds. The supplements contain pressed flaxseed oil which is packed with all the nutrients you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Flaxseed_Recipes_For_Weight_Loss\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38619 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Frame-5675-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Frame-5675.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Frame-5675-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Frame-5675.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Frame-5675.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Flaxseed_Recipes_You_Can_Use_At_Home\"><\/span><strong>6 Flaxseed Recipes You Can Use At Home<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a recipe with flax seed that suits your diet can be challenging.

The articles she writes focus on providing factual information \u2013 but never at the expense of providing an entertaining read.

So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body.
