Harvard medical study reports on how flax fights against inflammatory disease

Harvard Medical School reports on how flax fights against inflammatory disease

Many studies have concluded that flax can help with inflammatory disease.  This recent study from Harvard Medical School can be found at https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/simple-tips-to-fight-inflammation.  Flaxseed inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and lipid mediators derived from arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and thus reduces inflammatory responses. This effect is likely due to one or both of the following constituents present in flaxseed: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the essential omega-3 fatty acid, and lignans, which are phytoestrogens that exhibit antioxidant ( may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals), antimitotic (helps stop cancer cell growth) and antifungal ( prevents the growth of fungal organisms) activity.[3] With its unique fatty acid profile, flaxseed is the richest source of ALA in the North American diet—ALA constitutes 57% of the total fatty acids in flaxseed.[4],[5] It is also the richest source of lignans, providing 75-800 times more lignans than other plant foods such as legumes, cereals, vegetables and fruits.[6] ALA and lignans appear to influence inflammatory responses by different mechanisms.  You can read more about this study on our website at https://www.goldenvalleyflax.com/flax-facts/health-research-articles/flaxseed-reduces-inflammation/  and the really good news is that flax helps in so many ways that your entire family will be healthier eating flax every day.  You may also like to know that because of our high quality Golden Valley Flax, our farm has supplied Harvard University with flax.  What we have said before needs to be repeated, our flax is the best tasting flax and highest quality flax in the nation because of the micro climate the surrounds the area we farm.  We not only want you to eat flax because of the health benefits but we also want you to enjoy it.  Golden Valley Flax, fresh from our farm to your home is the answer.  You can order securely online at https://www.goldenvalleyflax.com/product-category/flax-seed/ and start your family on the road to improved health.
