ABSOLUTE ASCENDANCY

Overview

For something so small, flax seeds certainly pack a punch. I sprinkle these with my porridge every morning. I have tried both flax seeds and chia seeds but have found my preference to lean towards flax seeds. This bias is based both in terms of texture and overall benefits, though it is mostly a preference in taste. Loaded with nutrients, flax seeds offer numerous advantages, three of which are listed below.

Good Source of Omega-3 Fats

Like avocados, flax seeds contain a decent amount of Omega-3 fats, especially for people who do not consume any fish. The body cannot produce these on their own, so it is imperative you incorporate foods into your diet to provide these fatty acids. They help to promote heart health and reduce cholesterol levels.

Contains Plant-based Proteins

As an athlete on a vegetarian diet, I certainly need to have plenty of protein supplied by plant-based sources. Flax seeds are one of many options I choose to include in my diet to help bolster my protein levels.

Can aid in Cancer Prevention

Flax seeds are loaded with lignans, a plant-based substance that can help reduce inflammation, blood pressure, and cancer. Lignans can also help with controlling blood sugar levels, which can reduce the risk of diabetes.

My Recommendation

This is the product I use in my porridge eat morning. It is a mix of flax seeds and various nuts for a super protein boost.  Like I said before, I used to have chia seeds but now prefer flax seeds and the recommended product is, in my opinion, one of the best.

Conclusion

These seeds are very versatile, and there are plenty of options on how to consume them. As stated earlier, I add them to my porridge, but you could easily blend them into a smoothie or sprinkle in a yoghurt.
