Indications for Linseed Oil
1.Lower Cholesterol:Flaxseed oil and other sources of omega-3 fatty acids may increase your level of HDL--what is commonly called "good" cholesterol--and can help lower LDL ("bad" cholesterol) levels.
2.Healthy Heart:One of the elements in flaxseed oil, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), can lower your risk of heart disease through a number of factors. ALA keeps your blood vessels healthy, keeps platelets from sticking together and may even prevent minor arrhythmias.
3.Reduce Inflammation:The omega-3 found in flaxseed oil is a naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory agent. People who have arthritis, lupus, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disorders may find a reduction in inflammation by adding flaxseed oil to their diets.
