hi guys in this video we’re going to talk  about flaxseed okay now yes it’s true that  

flax seeds have tons of omega-3 in fact it’s  probably one of the foods that has the highest  

amounts of omega-3 fatty acids which are good  for your brain the cardiovascular it’s good  

anti-inflammatory functions it has a lot of great  fiber it has something called ligands and what is  

ligands ligands are phytoestrogens what’s a  phytoestrogen basically it’s it’s something  

that will actually help balance and give you the  good estrogen that you need so ligands basically  

help you balance estrogen it’s great for a  female especially to going through menopause  

okay flax seeds also have a lot of vitamin  b1 and they have a lot of copper and a lot  

of minerals but here’s the problem these flax  seeds have enzyme inhibitors what’s an enzyme an  

enzyme is something that breaks something down so  inhibitors are something that stops the breakdown  

of flax seeds so when you consume these like in  a some type of a muffin or whatever you’ll find  

that go right through you because they don’t  get digested and the purpose of that is if an  

animal eats these seeds and it’s not digested  goes through the tract it can actually come out  

the other end and be fertilized and grow as a flax  eat some more in another location okay so that’s  

the purpose is to help their own survival of the  plant so the question is what type of impact does  

enzyme inhibitors have on eating flax seeds well  basically it prevents the breakdown the digestion  

the absorption of the minerals and the protein  it just doesn’t allow you to absorb it in your  

body yes you can do flax oil you’re going to  get the benefit of that but unless you crush  

them freshly and consume them you’re going to  get enzyme inhibitors okay so this is what I  

recommend get some sprouted flax seeds and you  can get an Amazon they have a really good I’ll  

put a link down below but you can buy these  flax seeds sprouted flax seeds it’s already  

germinated or ready to be digested because they’re  sprouted and they’re and they’re digestible so  

when something sprouts the enzyme inhibitors go  bye-bye so you can start absorbing them okay and  

you can put them on your you know your food your  salad put it in a little shake your kale shake  

there’s a lot of different ways but there’s  a lot of good benefit especially for females  

with flaxseed all right so go ahead and make  your comments below and thank you for watching
