如果你正常进食豆类,肉类和食用油,我们的身体不会缺乏 Omega 6 (见下表)。
身体需要补充的是Omega 3, 而flax seeds 含有很多Omega 3. 2 tablespoon 含 2400mg Omega 3, 500mg Omega 6.
Flax seeds 可买整棵的,象芝麻大小,炒了后很香很好吃。
你也可以买打碎的,做饼干,面食放上都很好。

What can high-omega-3 foods do for you?

  • Reduce inflammation throughout your body
  • Keep your blood from clotting excessively
  • Maintain the fluidity of your cell membranes
  • lower the amount of lipids (fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the bloodstream
  • decrease platelet aggregation, preventing excessive blood clotting
  • inhibit thickening of the arteries by decreasing endothelial cells' production of a platelet-derived growth factor (the lining of the arteries is composed of endothelial cells)
  • increase the activity of another chemical derived from endothelial cells (endothelium-derived nitric oxide), which causes arteries to relax and dilate
  • reduce the production of messenger chemicals called cytokines, which are involved in the inflammatory response associated with atherosclerosis
  • reduce the risk of becoming obese and improve the body's ability to respond to insulin by stimulating the secretion of leptin, a hormone that helps regulate food intake, body weight and metabolism, and is expressed primarily by adipocytes (fat cells)
  • help prevent cancer cell growth
