Flax originated from millet in the Mediterranean region. A long time ago, flaxseed was the supreme delicacy. People use it to improve the small problems of the respiratory tract, and Europeans have used it to relieve constipation for generations. Flaxseed oil contains 60% omega-3 fatty acids, which is very effective in reducing coronary artery disease, hypertension and body tissue inflammation. Linseed oil can resist breast cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, increase intestinal peristalsis, lower cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular diseases, constipation and immune system dysfunction. Linseed oil is mainly composed of α -linolenic acid, the content of which is as high as 50-60%, which is 2.5 times that of deep-sea fish oil (20-26%). \ x0d \ x0d \ Functions of α -linolenic acid \ x0d \ x0d \ Modern medical and life science experts and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have confirmed the functions of α -linolenic acid: \ x0d \ x0d \ 1, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antiarrhythmic and hypolipidemic. \x0d\\x0d\2。 It has the functions of supplementing brain cell nutrition, promoting intellectual development, improving memory, preventing brain atrophy and senile dementia, improving anti-stress ability, and reducing depression and insomnia. \x0d\\x0d\3。 It has anticancer, antifungal and antiallergic effects. \x0d\\x0d\4。 Has the effects of strengthening body constitution, enhancing skin softness, luster and elasticity, enhancing immunity, reducing oil deposition and losing weight. \ x0d \ x0d \ 5。 It can improve renal function, relieve asthma, increase intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, prevent arthritis and improve premenstrual syndrome in women. \ x0d \ x0d \ Information: \ x0d \ x0d \ Why do you want to take linseed oil: \ x0d \ x0d \ Excerpted from Essential Fatty Acid for Human Body-α-linolenic Acid: \ x0d \ x0d \ physiological metabolism of α-linolenic acid in the body: \ α-linolenic acid is produced under the action of enzymes. \ x0d \ x0d \ EPA can be derived into PGG3, which in turn produces PGH3, which in turn produces TXA3 and PGI3, also known as prostacyclin, which can dilate blood vessels, inhibit platelet aggregation and improve blood circulation; TXA3, also known as thromboxane A3, has basically the same function as PGI3, and can prevent vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation. Its mechanism of action is closely related to the increase of cAMP concentration, because cAMP can reduce the activity of cyclooxygenase in platelets, thus reducing the production of TXA2 (thromboxane A2, an important substance for promoting blood agglutination) and preventing thrombosis. DHA and EPA are important components of cell membranes in brain, retina and other tissues. They selectively penetrate into important organs such as cerebral cortex, retina, testis and sperm, and participate in the formation of ethanolamine phospholipids and neuropeptides. DHA and EPA are added to phospholipid of neuron cell membrane, which makes the liquid fluidity of cell membrane better, permeability higher and cells full of vitality. DHA plays an extremely important role in the division, proliferation, nerve conduction, synaptic growth and development of brain cells, and is an essential substance for brain formation and IQ development. It has a great influence on various functions of the brain. \ x0d \ x0d \α- linolenic acid mechanism: \ x0d \ x0d \ ① N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (N-3 FUFA) replaced arachidonic acid (AA) in phospholipid pool, which reduced the generation of arachidonic acid (AA), thus reducing the formation of coagulants. \x0d\\x0d\② competes with linoleic acid for △6 desaturase to reduce the formation of arachidonic acid. \x0d\\x0d\③ can be used as a precursor of PGI3, which can be transformed into TXA3 to compete with TXA2, thus reducing the agglutination of TXA2 to platelets. \x0d\\x0d\④ Inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids and lipoproteins in the liver, and promote the transformation from low-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein. \x0d\\x0d\⑤ Change blood viscosity, enhance blood vessel elasticity and maintain blood pressure stability. \ x0d \ x0d \ ⑤ α -linolenic acid can weaken platelet aggregation, inhibit the production of diene prostaglandin and restore and improve the function of human immune system. \ x0d \ x0d \ ⑦ α -linolenic acid can competitively inhibit saturated fatty acids, regulate fat metabolism genes and redistribute fat metabolism, thus inhibiting lipid synthesis and eliminating excess saturated fatty acids. \ x0d \ x0d \ 8 DHA and EPA can improve blood microcirculation, and make the reproductive organs get timely and rapid congestion when people are excited. Therefore, it can enhance male sexual function and prevent and treat prostatitis. \ x0d \ x0d \ 9 EPA and DHA are the main components of phospholipids in the brain nervous system, which can increase the permeability and fluidity of cell membrane and make the transmission of nerve signals sensitive and smooth. \ x0d \ x0d \ Eight functions of α -linolenic acid: \ x0d \ x0d \ A lot of basic research, epidemiological investigation, animal experiments and clinical observation show that α -linolenic acid has the following eight physiological functions, which are recognized by the international medical and nutritional circles: \ x0d \ x0d \ 1. Prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: coronary arteries and cerebral vessels of the heart are prone to thrombosis, causing myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. It is known that an important factor leading to thrombosis is the platelet aggregation process. α -linolenic acid can change the fluidity of platelet membrane, thus changing the reactivity of platelet to stimulation and the number of platelet surface receptors. Therefore, the formation of thrombus can be effectively prevented. \ x0d \ x0d \ II。 Hypolipidemic: Metabolite \ x0d \ x0d \α- linolenic acid has moderate regulating effect on blood lipid metabolism, and can promote the transformation of plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), thus reducing blood lipid. \x0d\\x0d\ III。 Reduce critical hypertension: \ x0d \ x0d \ The blood pressure between145/90mmhg ~160/95mmhg is called critical hypertension, which is the initial hypertension. If you use antihypertensive drugs for a long time, it will easily cause many adverse reactions. Metabolites of α -linolenic acid can dilate blood vessels and enhance their elasticity, thus lowering blood pressure. \x0d\\x0d\ IV。 Inhibit the occurrence and metastasis of cancer: \ x0d \ x0d \ Normal somatic cells will be diseased due to body dysfunction, and a large amount of dienyl prostaglandins will be produced after cancer cells are formed, which can inhibit various immune cell functions, reduce the function of human immune system, and make cancer cells proliferate and metastasize. Metabolites of α -linolenic acid can directly reduce the number of cancer-causing cells, weaken platelet aggregation, inhibit the production of diene prostaglandin, and restore and improve the function of human immune system, thus effectively preventing the formation of cancer and inhibiting its metastasis. Eskimos have a low incidence of breast cancer because they eat a lot of fish or other seafood. Although their fat intake is large, there are many unsaturated fatty acids, mainly n-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid), so the incidence of cancer is extremely low. \x0d\\x0d\ 5. Inhibition of allergic reaction and anti-inflammatory effect: \ x0d \ x0d \ α -linolenic acid can reduce the content of arachidonic acid (AA) in membrane phospholipids of polynuclear leukocytes (RMNS) and mast cells, thus reducing the release of AA during allergic reaction, thus reducing the production of LT4 (leukotrienes); Metabolite EPA also competes with AA for δ 5 desaturase. α -linolenic acid has inhibitory effect on PAF (platelet aggregation activating factor), an intermediate of allergic reaction. Therefore, α -linolenic acid can inhibit allergic reaction and inflammation. Clinical research shows that the pathogenesis of psoriasis is mainly caused by the metabolic disorder of arachidonic acid, and the symptoms can be alleviated after ingesting a certain amount of EPA. A large number of animal experiments have proved that the allergic reaction of constitution is caused by the lack of food containing α -linolenic acid. \x0d\\x0d\ VI。 Anti-aging: \ x0d \ x0d \ With the increase of age, the number of various free radicals in the body is increasing, while the number of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) is gradually decreasing, and their activities are also gradually weakening, so the production of malondialdehyde (MDA), a metabolite of free radicals, is increasing, thus damaging cells. After taking α -linolenic acid, GSH-Px and SOD activities increased and MDA production decreased, suggesting that α -linolenic acid has anti-aging effect. \ x0d \ x0d \ VII。 Enhance intelligence: \ x0d \ x0d \ A healthy brain is absolutely indispensable for fatty acids, especially α -linolenic acid, to provide the brain with the energy it needs. The reason why the human brain can engage in highly complex work is inseparable from high-quality fatty acids. /kloc-α -linolenic acid with 0/8 carbon atoms can further extend the carbon chain and increase the number of double bonds, resulting in EPA and DHA. DHA is rich in brain neurons, which is an essential substance for brain formation and IQ development. \x0d\\x0d\ VIII。 Protecting eyesight: \ x0d \ x0d \ There is a lot of DHA in retina, especially outside the visual cells. If it is lacking, vision will decrease and the recovery time of retinal reflex ability will be prolonged. DHA, a metabolite of α -linolenic acid, has the function of improving and protecting eyesight. \x0d\\x0d\ What is omega-3 fatty acid, and how is its efficacy? \ x0d \ x0d \ omega-3 fatty acid's anticancer effect? \ x0d \ x0d \ linseed oil is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are "good" fats lacking in western diets. Many studies in Europe show that it can treat small cancer tumors, and has a strong anti-cancer effect on breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer cells. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids contained in linseed oil have natural anti-inflammatory factors, which can help alleviate the symptoms caused by inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and allergies. Natural therapists often develop linseed oil to deal with these problems, and the results are mostly good. \ x0d \ x0d \ omega-3 fatty acids prevent heart disease \ x0d \ x0d \ Omega-3 fatty acids can not only help fight cancer, but also provide important protective functions for preventing heart disease, and can reduce excessive cholesterol and blood lipids, reduce excessive triglyceride content, resist inflammation and cardiovascular diseases, and prevent thrombosis. Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the content of protein homocysteine in blood. Its high content is considered as one of the main risk factors of heart disease. \x0d\\x0d\omega-3 fatty acids quickly restore physical fitness \x0d\\x0d\ Some bodybuilders claim that supplementing linseed oil can enhance endurance and help them recover faster after exercise. Flaxseed oil contains a natural antioxidant, so it can help tired muscles recover faster, and its anti-inflammatory effect can also help relieve muscle soreness. Improve menopausal symptoms, regulate hormone content in the body, and relieve some symptoms caused by menopause, such as flushing fever and fungal infection caused by vaginal dryness. Linseed oil is also used to treat PMS, which may be caused by hormonal imbalance. Anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular disease prevention.
