Linseed: Good For Humans And Animals

Flax in the diet comes in two forms: oil consumption prohibited in France because of Rancier which would make toxic and therefore limited to painting, and the seeds allowed. The major interest in flaxseed is its fat: because it contains draws oil, but especially interesting is a bold bringing famous omega 3 which is now found in many spreads.

So the good fats, with effect on blood lipids, brain, and emotional state. They are more fats which are not designed for storage but fit into the membranes of cells that make them more flexible, improving the exchange between the environments inside and outside the membrane.

So the seeds of flax are interesting for humans. And although they are also attractive to animals, both for themselves (their health, their fertility) and what they offer: eggs, dairy products and meat.

BLUE WHITE HEART is an association that wants to be "agricultural vocation health" as the title of his site, and using flaxseed in the diet of the animals and making bread. This association has been the partner of scientific studies. I summarizes improvements of the state of diabetes and obesity, a diet not restricted in calories but watched in its quality or bread with flaxseed, milk and eggs from animals fed with 5% seed flax. All this is wonderful except that it is not a breakthrough but a return.

In fact, the observed benefits of omega 3 (here linseed) are due not to a great innovation but simply to eat while we were missing. And why do we lack? Well because the new eating habits had taken unknowingly. And because food animals has changed: it is therefore the reintroduction of traditional foods, alfalfa grass lupine ... and linen purveyor of natural omega 3, while the feed in recent years maize and soybean is purveyor, she, omega 6, currently in excess in our diets. This chain omega 3 promotes a balance that had been destroyed.

Their site provides a list of products and places of sale, sellers and producers. This list includes Eggs, dairy products, bread and meat mostly hams with the logo of the channel on which it is stated: omega 3 natural flax industry tradition.

For a chain of flax it was normal to speak of omega3 flax and its benefits.

Nevertheless I would insist on two things: omega 3 are not "good" in the absolute. What is good is balance: there are several kinds of lipids and is the relation between them is "good". Here flax and Omega-3 is very positive because the omega-6 were in excess.

Moreover studies on cattle have shown that by changing their food is changed health status, and then the quality of milk or eggs of animals affect us. I hope he will one day be clear to everyone that our choice of foods has an impact on us, even if the body has great adaptability and the effects are not necessarily immediate. It is always a source that works effectively.
