Relieve Stress Naturally And Improve Health With Flaxseed Oil

Relieve Stress Naturally And Improve Health With Flaxseed Oil
We are well aware of how stressful our lives have become
with financial, relationship, family and many other
concerns. We have learned over and over how stress can
take a harmful toll on our mental and physical health.
This is a very serious health concern that we often
underestimate. Stress affects digestion, heart function,
blood pressure, weight gain and loss, blood sugar levels,
sleep patterns, and lower our immune system leaving us open
to viruses and infections.

Unfortunately, many of the prescription synthetic drugs
people are given to help them reduce and cope with stress,
e.g. prescription antidepressants, carry the high potential
of unwanted, harmful physical and emotional side effects.
Because of this, many of us have began to discover the
benefit of natural compounds and substances which help to
relieve stress and it's harm to our health. These natural
supplements from plants relieve stress without potential
for harmful side effects and often have health benefits
beyond natural stress relief for our overall health and
well being.

Many studies have shown that those of us who have added
flaxseed oil supplements to our diet are able to
emotionally cope with stress with much more ease and with
far less physical harm from stress. Flaxseed oil is a blue
flowering plant that is grown on the Western Canadian
Prairies for it's seeds which are rich in health improving
oil containing high levels of Omega 3. Most of us report a
feeling of comfort and calmness when taking flaxseed oil
with Omega 3. Omega 3 maintains optimal levels of serotonin
in our brains. Serotonin is responsible for nerve
connections and emotional response recognition. This helps
us cope more easily with any stressful disturbance in our
lives. Flaxseed oil also contains tryptophan which is an
amino acid and a serotonin stabilizer. Tryptophan helps
relieve anxiety and depression. Flaxseed oil helps us
maintain a healthy blood sugar level to help us remain calm
and stable. Flaxseed oil inhibits the body's production of
arachidonic acid and other stress causing chemicals.
Flaxseed oil also contains B vitamins, potassium, and
magnesium which have long been known to help with stress
relief and health improvement. The Omega 3 in flaxseed oil
is an essential fatty acid which are essential for the
function and physiology of our brain. Omega 3 improves
cognition, memory , emotional stability, mood,
concentration and restful sleep which are essential for
dealing with stress and it's potential for harming
emotional and physical health.

Flaxseed oil supplements are coming to be known as possibly
the most beneficial health improving supplement next to a
multivitamin. Flaxseed oil contains omega 6, omega 9, B
vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein,
zinc, and, most importantly, 50 % more Omega 3 than can be
obtained from fish oil. Omega 3 helps reduce cholesterol,
blood pressure, plaque, and cardiovascular arrhythmia.
Omega 3 helps to lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides
and prevent clots in arteries and is therefore of great
benefit in prevention of strokes, heart attackes and
thromboses.Flaxseed oil helps relieve arthritis and
inflammation of joints. Omega 3 has been known to kill
certain cancer cells without harming healthy cells. Omega 3
helps with skin problems like acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Flaxseed oil contains soluble and insoluble fiber that
cleans the colon of toxic material, metabolic waste, heavy
metals and dried mucus and well as being an excellent food
for healthy intestinal bacterial flora which fights
disease. Flaxseed oil contains a complete amino acid
spectrum. There is about 25 g of protein for every 100g of
flaxseed oil. Flaxseed contains more lignans than
vegetables and whole grains. Lignans have anti-cancer,
anti-viral and anti-bacterial benefits, as well as
antioxidant properties.

Flaxseed oil has been shown to be of benefit for reducing
high blood pressure, water retention, strengthening immune
system, recovery for fatigued muscles, increased energy and
stamina, healing of sprains and bruises, weight loss by
increasing the metabolic rate that burns fat, improving the
absorption of Calcium, strengthening finger and toe nails,
improvement of eyesight and perception of colors, improved
liver function, relief of some allergies and asthma as it
improves respiratory function, relief of premenstrual
syndrome in females, elimination of constipation and/or
diarrhea and, of course, improved brain function.

If we are experiencing the normal stress of living or
excess stress from conflict or crisis, we can help
ourselves greatly by taking advantage of the properties of
flaxseed oil supplements that reduce the harmful effects of
stress on our emotional and physical health. In addition,
we can experience the many, wide spectrum, health-promoting
benefits that flaxseed oil can provide for us.
