Flax Seed Oil and Wrinkles: Benefits of
This Natural Skin Moisturizer
Flax seed oil helps lubricate the
digestive system and softens the skin, reducing the appearance
of wrinkles. Flax seed is packed with oils, fibers and
protein that supply your body with essential fatty acids (EFAs),
notably omega 6 (linoleic acid) and omega 3 (linolenic acid)
fatty acids. Your body uses EFAs through hormone production,
the metabolism of vitamins and protection at the cellular
level. The lignans from flax seed hulls help control blood
sugar and insulin, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes.
Flax seed oil has also been shown to be helpful in reducing
"bad" cholesterol. Deficiencies in EFAs have been
found to be associated with eczema and dry skin. Some women
have also found flax seed be helpful to in relieving hot flashes
associated with menopause.
According to the Health Sciences Institute, the most effective
and inexpensive way to eat flax seed is to grind it fresh
and add it to cereal or juice. This is when the flax seed
oil and fiber is the most potent (it starts to lose potency
when exposed to air), and so you get the most benefit. Flax
seed has a mild, nutty flavor and is much more palatable in
the ground form than straight pressed flax seed oil. Further,
one quarter cup of ground flax seed is the equivalent of 17
flax seed oil capsules, so there is substantial savings.
