This is why i love veganism. All this healing food! 🍉
Too true.
People who eat an anchovie once in a while can't eat flax seeds too?
lol carnivore diet is making its way back, you weak vegans
@@deconcoder With flax and algae you get the omega 3 benefits without TMAO and bad fats in fish.
@@MasterofPlay7 Just like flat earth, anti vaccers and astrology. Every decade has its unsupported trends ;) .
I had hemorrhoid and started taking fiber in a tumbler of water every day. Then I decided to add more stuff to it and now add two heaping teaspoons of ground flax to it with some dried blueberries and protein powder. I make it at night and put it in the refrigerator and drink it the next day. A very simple way to get more flax. Just leave a long handled spoon in it to stir it up before drinking. My BP at night is around 110 over 66.
I cut salt from my meals for 2 months, then tried adding some again. The food tasted horrible with the added salt - I just couldn't finish my plate! Went back saltless the next day and it was just amazing how tasty the food was once again.
I consume ground, raw flax seeds daily.
I do a couple of times a week, but I am going to start doing every day now.
it's gmo, be ware of cancer
Magnesium intake links to hypertension and flaxseeds have a massive pack of magnesium in them FYI. In the UK we call flaxseeds linseed FYI and you are better of getting the ground powder as this is easier to absorb.
I have flaxseeds everyday, add it to many different foods.

movement2contact sometimes lol
Well researched information brought to you with what is generally insufficient gratitude. Thank you Dr. Greger.
I'm glad that they... put it to the test. I consume flaxseeds daily and I feel great! Cheers from Argentina
No worries doc, I take my flax religiously and as mentioned it's pretty yummy too.
This is right on time. Just was told my blood pressure is normal which normally means I should lower it. I use flax but I’ll use more.
Does this mean we need to eat 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup or about 30 grams) of ground flax per day to get the same benefits as in the study? I try to keep it between 1 and 2 tablespoons, for less fat.
Bonnie Bertrand Right, that is quite a bit of fat. But I vaguely recall a study on chia seeds and BP and those people were fed 25g per day too. Results were similar although the study was not designed as gold standard here. Seems, you need quite a bit of these powerhouses.
Remember there's good fats and bad fats and so I never worry about so cold fats from things like flax or eggs... when my doctor did all the tests he needed to do he said absolutely everything came back where I am decades younger and he couldn't believe it how healthy I am despite Lyme disease and lupus ultraviolet light sensitivity which I've had all my life and I also all my life have suffered residual effects from having had a deadly case of scarlet fever when I was 4 years old but other than that blood pressure heart cholesterol all of those things he said are like somebody 30 years younger
I keep clicking the bell but every time I watch a nutrition facts video I notice the bell hasn't been activated and I click it again, and the cycle continues. Why won't the bell just stay activated? Is anybody else having this issue?
Nice.
So interesting!!... Health and wellness is my passion, thank you for this helpful video 🌿I hope people like my videos as much as I enjoy yours👍💋🌿
How much should we eat?
What about issues with low bp like 86/58 which is mine at the moment
LOW blood pressure is a completely different issue.
People with low BP should not try to increase it, because it is a condition that protects from high BP and all of the disease following high BP.
Better learn to live with it, as it increases your life span.
I clicked on this because I thought I saw coffee beans! 😄☕
Amazing!!!
And a regular fasting routine will reduce blood pressure a lot more than any food. It will also significantly decrease LDL and plummets CRP levels to non-detectable by normal measurement.
Dr greger, could you make a video about frutose in fruit in the afternoon? I've seen people saying that fruit is ok in the morning, bue not in the afternoon because you are already saturated with carbs and then it contributes non-alcoholic fatty liver. I saw your video on frutose in fruit, but in the study about the berries they consumed it fasted...
Sorry if something is bad written, I'm portuguese
Adoro la linaza. es de lo mejor. La como molida y mezclada con jugos de fruta.
"wouldn't it be easier just to cut out the middle pig" 🤣
Hmmm... To flax or not to flax?
Just added flaxseed to my daily meals
A follower (thats me) asked me ((thats Martyn Katan studied chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam. He obtained his PhD in molecular biology at the same university in 1977 with Piet Borst.
) From 1976 Katan worked at the Agricultural University of Wageningen with the research field "Nutrition and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases". In 1998 he was appointed personal professor of human nutrition there. He held that position until 2006. In 2005, Katan was selected as a leading Wageningen researcher for the Keur de Science project. As part of this project, many of his publications were digitized and Open Access was made. Martijn Katan was also "Nutrition Foundation Professor" at the University of Nijmegen from 1985 to 1998. Between 1998 and 2003 he was scientific director of the "Nutrition and Health" program of the Wageningen Center for Food Sciences.
do you know www.nutritionfacts.org and what do you think about it, is it reliable? That is the site of Dr. Michael Greger. I think his intentions are good, but it seems to me that he exaggerates many of the effects of food. As far as I can see, he has hardly done any scientific research himself. For a critical look at Greger see sciencebasedmedicine.org/death-as-a-foodborne-illn…/ and this was his answer

can you simply soak whole flaxseed in water over night or do you have to grind it fresh? thanks
dobe762 : grind dry seeds in coffee grinder
@@estherthgil Tnx Esther I was doing that but my grinder was getting gummed up with the oils from the flax after each use, so I was looking for an alternative, I was hoping that soaking would be sufficient.
I grind them for a smoothie with a blender also with bananas and soy milk
@@user-wc2bp7xo4x Thanks Yusef
@Nexatronic Interesting, do you grind the flaxseed? and if so and its trouble free what machine do you use? thanks
Beaker first!
It’s the potassium, flax seeds are high in it.
Meat science = oxymoron :P
I never eat flax seeds and I have low blood pressure.
… because we can't digest flax seeds….
