Flax seeds

Flax seeds are small nutritional powerhouses, they are considered to be the best source of fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based omega-3s.

They include significant amounts of fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. Flax seeds provide a lot of nutrients and could also help avoid atherosclerosis. Regular consumption of flax seeds lowers blood sugar and unblocks the arteries by reducing cholesterol levels and stopping the increasing levels of atherosclerotic plaques. According to one study, when rabbits who had been fed a high-cholesterol diet also consumed flax seeds, their risk of developing plaque was reduced by 40%. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), a lignan compound found in flax seeds, has anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering actions that help prevent atherosclerosis.
