Weill Cornell Medical Study states that flax can help women’s health.
A recently published study by the Weill Cornell Medical Center reveals that flax can improve mental health. It says that flax plays a significant role in promoting women’s health with respect to menopause and reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study can be found at https://news.weill.cornell.edu/news/2017/10/menopause-triggers-metabolic-changes-in-brain-that-may-promote-alzheimers and it should be an encouragement for women to age gracefully with the help of flax. The study said that “Our work indicates that women may need antioxidants to protect their brain activity and mitochondria in combination with strategies to maintain estrogen levels,” Dr. Mosconi said, noting that exercise and foods that are rich in antioxidants, such as flaxseeds, also may help boost estrogen production.
