Although flaxseed contains all sorts of healthy components, it owes its primary healthy reputation to it's good content of healthy fatty acids, fiber and linens making it a good source of nutrients for conditions like diabetes, cardiac issues, hormonal problems or cancers. It's tempting to think of flaxseed or any particular food as a super food because of its many potential health benefits. But keep in mind there is no magic food or nutrient that guarantees improved health unless it's a part of an overall healthy diet and lifestyle. Also, what matters is consistently making great dietary choices as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.
