Using
Flax Seed Oil
on a
regular basis can supply the essential fatty acids, amino acids,
anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients needed to repair nails, skin
cells and hair follicles.
It can also shield the skin from
wrinkling and boost production of new skin, hair and nails. More
importantly, the high lignan Omega-3 constituents of Flaxseed Oil can
lower risks of breast and colon cancer, help to restore proper
metabolic function and enable the excretion of fat and toxins that are
trapped within the tissues.
Flax Seed Oil
and Dry Eyes
In their healthy state, the surface of our eyes has a protective coating
called tear film that helps keep the eye moist underneath. When
there is a dietary imbalance of the ratio of healthy fats (omega-3) to
unhealthy fats (omega-6), the tear film becomes inflamed and weak, resulting
in dry eye.
The dry, itchy, sand-in-your-eye feeling known as "dry eye" affects
over 59 million Americans and is their top complaint at the eye
doctor. And, it is also a major complaint of those who undergo lasik,
laser or other kinds of corrective eye surgery.
Recently, researchers in
the Harvard Women's Health Study have discovered a dietary link to
this irritating condition: a lack of healthy fats in the diet.
Specifically, eating sufficient quantities of omega-3 fatty acids and
keeping omega-6 fatty acids to a minimum helped to significantly lower study
subjects' risk of developing dry eye.
