Yes that's absolutely beneficial , but i've read it's VERY important to keep them in the freezer and only take some out and grind them when you're ready to eat them!  They can grow bacteria etc. if you don't keep them in the freezer.

flax seed oil contains essential omega fats,that can help speed up your metabolism,but its not a miracle cure for weightloss,there are no magic bullets,flax oil is just a really good source of the fat your body needs to operate properly.You need to combine that with portion control,calorie restriction a whole foods diet with organic fruits,vegetables,legumes,lean meat and plenty of exercise,pure water,fress air and love.

Garlic is amazing for lowering cholesterol. You can eat fair amounts of fresh garlic and also capsulated form (odorless). Lecithin granules added to the diet can help with removing arterial fat. Omega 3 fatty acids from flax or fish is beneficial too. (for anyone) These are some natural remedies but I would still consult with your physician.

My mother eats oatmeal everyday.  She cooks it with raisins to add natural sweetness.  It does wonders to the cholesterol level.\n\nDo not buy the instant oatmeal.  It has to be the one that you cook on a stovetop for a while.

Omega 3 is a vital essential fatty acid that ALL people must have in adequate amounts to ensure proper functioning of many body processes and to gain vibrant health. \n\nOmega 3 affects many processes in the body: critical in the structure of cell membranes, important in nervous system development, acts as a systemic, natural anti-inflammatory, helps in preventing cardiovascular/heart disease, can help prevent blood clots, essential for proper brain function, is able to help with joint (arthritis) problems, good for the skin.\n\nIt can be found in cold water fish--salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna. However, much of the fish today is contaminated with mercury. It's best if you can get "wild caught" fish from unpolluted waters. Omega 3 is also found in marine algae and dark, leafy green vegetables and, to a degree flaxseed oil, which will also contain Omega 6 and Omega 9. \n\nTaking a high-quality, toxic-free fish oil is the best way of ensuring you are getting adequate amounts of this essential substance. It comes as a liquid or in capsules. \n\nYou must make sure that you are also getting the correct amount of Omega 6. Omega 6 can be found in flaxseed oil. Check with your physician. Since most MDs are not too educated in this area you may want to go to a clinical nutritionist or a holistic/complementary MD or naturopathic physician who can give you a complete evaluation which will provide the best diet/supplementation/exercise program for your situation. There are many nutrients which can be of great benefit to you regarding the diabetes. I've known people who have been able to lower their insulin dosage, and some have been able to completely come off of their medication (pill form) and control the condition utilizing proper diet, supplements, exercise, etc. This takes a noble effort, diligence, perserverence and sacrifice. It is well worth the effort.\n\nIn addition to Omega 3, it is very important to make sure that you are receiving adequate amounts of Omega 6 (ex. flaxseed oil) and that Omega 3 is being consumed in the correct ratio with Omega 6. These essential fatty acids must be in the proper balance. Generally, in America, we are getting way too much Omega 6 (vegetable oils) as opposed to Omega 3.Again, the properly informed health care professional can help you.\n\nVERY IMPORTANT: If you are on any meds, especially blood thinners, DO NOT take Omega 3 fish oil without first checking with your medical doctor!\n\nBelow, some sources that can be of help.\n\nBest of luck and health to you!

Flax is beneficial for two reasons. First of all, it provides fiber which helps keep your bowels and digestive tract clear and helps move toxins out sooner, therefore they're less likely to be absorbed into nearby organs (like your prostate). \n\nSecondly, flax oil is a good anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants help to fight free radicals, which is what generally causes cancer. Your body can't get flax oil from whole seeds because the shell is too thick to digest. So if it's ground down into meal, you will be able to absorb the oil from it.\n\nHowever, flax meal or oil is probably not going to cure your cancer. You should definitely see a specialist. Also, there are lots of websites online with good information; check for a cancer clinic or the Mayo clinic (don't just trust any "cure" that you read about on any old website).

It definitely lowers your cholesterol..Mine was over 600 and after eating a bowl a day,for three months,along with watching my "fat" intake,it came down to 206..The meds I was on didn't do that good.I took myself off the meds and tried the oatmeal diet.My doctor said "whatever you're doing,keep doing it"..Goes to show you,meds aren't always the answer.

There are lots of ways, and I found two pages that can give you some tips -- also, in case its not mentioned, if you cant stay away from frying foods, try frying them in olive oil -- fried chicken is GREAT this way, as well as stir-frys. And olive oil is good for you v/s other oils and fats not being so good.

I did not know that it had anti-cancer causing properties, but it is a strong anti-oxidant ( which would fight carcinogens in the system), so I can see why it might help fight breast cancer. It does have alot of other good healthy effects on the body. Alot of people take flax seed oil these days. It couldn't hurt!

dont follow lay people dude, yes cross word puzzles and or high brain situlated things would work, but lets face it. it all comes done to your nutrition, if you increase antioxidants and phytochemmicals food mostly in veggies and fruits, whole grains lean meats non or low fat milk, and the omega 3 fatty acid (your brain is 60% fat) the DHA is the best compent of omega 3 for the brain, (get it mosyly from fish/fish oil, and to a lesser extent flaxseeds and flaxseed oil (some people cant convert the flax to the DHA) for antioxidants try eating healthy so your internal antioxidant enxymes function better and your mictrocodra in the cells produce maxuim energy, then you'll learn fairly rapidly (alpha lopic acid is an all purpose diverse antioxidant protecting like all of the cell and regenerating all ther anti oxidants from its free radical forms back to its functional form. with out comprmising itself shit like that dude, study nutrition and antioxidants, it might pervent the  degerative diseases that 85% of us will get

Red meats, processed meats such as hotdog etc. and try taking flaxseed oil tablets. You can get them anywhere in the vitamin section. It high in omega acids but does'nt leave the bad smell like fish oil. Also eat salmon or other fish, i've heard three times a week.

Get to a health store and purchase some Flax seed.  Grind it up in the coffee grinder and use 1 tsp a day in your cereal.  You won't have any more problems and it will clean out your intestinal tract.  It's tasteless.  You'll feel great.
