Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds have alpha-linolenic acid, a type of omega-3 fatty acid which can improve how your body utilizes insulin. Also, they contain both insoluble and soluble fiber, thus helping the liver’s detoxification by enhancing bowel regularity and eliminating excess waste, cholesterol, or toxins. While flaxseeds are available in many grocery stores, you should grind them at home to maximize freshness.
Ideally, you can sprinkle flaxseeds on yogurt, salads, or cereal or add them to your favorite smoothies. Also, they could be used in baking. When mixed with water, these seeds create a gel, so you can use them to replace eggs in baking or thicken soups. [3]
