Flaxseed contains three ingredients that aid in maintaining heart health.
Flaxseed is rich with the plant form of omega-3 fatty acids,
lignans, which contain both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities, plus soluble and insoluble fiber. Flaxseed seems to help not only with a person’s cholesterol profile but even in maintaining heart rhythm. Organic grape juice, apples, and other foods that contain pectin help eliminate cholesterol through the gut. Garlic has a mild effect as well.
