Flax is rightfully considered one of the most ancient cultivated plants.
Thanks to archaeological finds, it was possible to establish that it was used as food back in the Neolithic era, and later it was used in the production of textiles.
Of course, it is not for this reason that you should include flax seeds in your diet, but because they contain protein, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
But that's not all: flaxseed is one of the best plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid.
Our body is not able to synthesize this substance itself: this means that we can only get it from food.
In addition to the already mentioned benefits of flaxseed, it has another advantage: namely, it contains a large amount of fiber - 27.3 grams per 100 grams of product.
Here is the answer to the question of why the seeds of this plant should definitely be present in your dishes: eating foods rich in fiber promotes weight loss and weight control.
Of course, this can be said provided that there is a balanced diet and adequate physical activity.
