12 Health Benefits of Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds May Help Control Diabetes

Although there has not been sufficient research or results to establish flaxseeds as a food that can control diabetes, there have been some indications that eating flaxseeds may help people that have Type-2 diabetes. The high omega-3 and fiber content may be responsible for this, and it may even be as a result of the action of the lignans in reducing the glucose in the blood. There is also some indication that flaxseeds may be good for glucose intolerant people as they may help improve insulin sensitivity. [4]
