Avatar f tn I have pretty high blood pressure. Wanting to know if anyone has advice on how to help lower it. I haven't been adding salt to things or drinking coffee.
Avatar n tn These include olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, omega 3 fatty acids, soybean oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, flaxseed, salmon, trout, and cold water fish, avacados, and nuts. Stay away from Sautrated and Hydorgenated oils! Another very improtant factor is however much sodium you get, you need equal amounts of pottassium. Look at the labels of foods because sodium is included in almost all foods especially seasoning and sauces.
Avatar m tn Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi proclaimed, "Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health." The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.

The Peg can cause high blood sugar.....and if your blood sugar goes up, long periods of fast cause it to go even higher.....meaning that it would be higher in the morning after not eating all night.....so taking the flaxseed oil on an empty stomach could make it even worse.
Avatar f tn I would listen to your cardiologist or internal medicine doctor if they are very familiar with this situation. Omega 3 fish oil and flaxseed oil can both sometimes increase bleeding in patients taking blood thinners like coumadin (warfarin), apirin, and plavix. In diabetics on glucose lowering drugs there is some evidence that suggest that flaxseed oil may increase fasting blood sugar levels.
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor (RE) about taking 81 mg of baby aspirin to encourage blood flow to the uterus but she said the effects are not proven and therefore she does not use it in her practice. I'd still like to try it, however..particularly because my menses was especially "clotty" this month (sorry tmi!). But I also take flaxseed oil and I want to make sure that taking both of these won't be an issue. I'm on my 4th round of clomid 100 mgs, days 3-7 with progesterone supps.

Avatar n tn Has anyone used flaxseed oil for the 20g's of fat. I thought if I mixed it with a fruit smoothy it would be tolerable and I also found a flavored flaxseed oil but that was pretty expensive. I want to try to use the "good" fat for protease inhibitor. This anti-depressant already has me eating like crazy. I start this Friday Yikes!!
Avatar m tn You really only need to drop your LDL by 20 points, which is not very much. Do a low fat diet, not empty carbs like breads, sugars and pastas. Add fruits and veggies as well. The easiest way is to cut out fast foods so if you indulge in burgers and fries, stop and that alone will bring your number down. Is there a reason why you don't want to take a statin?

Avatar f tn Hi, I take flaxseed oil. I was taking it for the benefits to the heart. Haven't heard about benefits to panic attack sufferers. Would like to learn more though.
Avatar f tn I added 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to my diet for the past year. I was very discouraged when I received the results of my lipid panel results. Last year: total chol.=238, trig.=59, HDL=101, LDL=125. This year: total chol.=240, trig.=67, HDL=98, LDL=128. My bad numbers went up and my good number (HDL) went down. Why? (I am a 60 year old female. I exercise regularly (jog and ballet), I am 5'2" and weigh 92 pounds.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if drizzling flaxseed oil onto salad, orange juice and other foods is OK for people with MS? I heard that flaxseed oil is supposed to help patients with MS a lot. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids.

Avatar n tn The Budwig diet is mainly composed of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese with restrictions on eating animal meats, butter and sugars. Some holistic health enthusiasts believe that cancer patients are deficient in essential lipids that cottage cheese mixed with flaxseed can replace. The scientific journal “Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift” published a study in 2012 that determined that cancer diets, such as the Budwig, diet do not cure cancer and can have adverse health effects.

Avatar m tn For the first time I tried Flaxseed oil in a pill form, a small amount 1,000mg with food thinking it was healthy. About 20 minutes after I had it my stomach started cramping up and nausea, asthma and mucus in my nose. Not sure if the asthma might have been trigged by the nausea but my inhaler reversed it. Still feeling pretty sick. It's been about 35 minutes and not feeling well, not at all. My stomach muscles just want to throw up and are staying really tight.
Avatar f tn i also have been using coconut oil in my coffee with agave and in my smoothies ive read so many differant articles stating all the benefits of using coconut oil,fish oil, flaxseed, parssley tea. can i benefit from them?
Avatar f tn Probably two separate things. Try oral flaxseed oil 1000mg twice a day and warm compresses to eyelids twice a day to help with tear imbalance. Also consider TheraTears Nutritional Capsules instead of flaxseed oil.
