Adding flax-fortified baked goods can be good for cholesterolWith the right amount of flaxseed a person may be able to lower their cholesterol and eat their cake too.

That’s the finding in a new study appearing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The study reveals people who took one tablespoon of whole flaxseed every day were able to reduce both their total cholesterol and their LDL, or bad, cholesterol levels. Flaxseed oil, in comparison, did not produce the same results.

Women, particularly post-menopausal women, had the greatest reduction in their cholesterol, compared to men and people who previously had higher cholesterol levels, according to Reuters.

Flaxseed contains omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant-rich lignans and both soluble and insoluble fiber.

Taking one to two tablespoons of flaxseed every day is recommended by many health practitioners. Experts say whole and ground flaxseed are preferrable to flaxseed oil so you get all of its healthy components.

It is available in packaged foods like crackers, waffles and cereals and can be easily added at home to muffins, cakes and even casseroles.

Most supermarkets, pharmacies, other specialty food and vitamin stores and online retailers sell flaxseed.ADNFCR-2035-ID-19375911-ADNFCR
