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!!
In the end, leaving out the flaxseed oil will not be that big a deal, but I would want to find out why exactly, the omega-3 fish oil was discouraged in your case. I commend you for looking into this area yourself. Keep up the good work. I get a lot of nice information from engaged patients like yourself and it continually stirs me to keep up with the current research as much as possible.
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.
ve been on baby aspirin and a prenatal for quite a while now, and I also did flaxseed oil for a period of time. The baby aspirin was suggested by my RE after I had my first miscarriage, and the flaxseed oil I added myself after reading about it online. Once I started using fertility drugs, however, I stopped all the extras and went back to just baby aspirin and prenatals.
fish oil- I take two lemon flavored softgel 600mg a day to make a total of 1200
as for flaxseed oil for men. i found this article about how flex seed seems to be good but the oil is not so good unless the lignans are put back in. are you able to find out if yours has this lignan? I didnt find anything about helping his little swimmers... sorry! ill try and read up more about it but part of the article is as follows...
m betting every cardiologist in the country would tell you to just do what you are doing. You probably have inherited the tendency to produce somewhat high LDL's and only certain statin drugs would bring that down. You might throw in a couple grams of fish oil daily that might raise the HDL even higher, but it sounds like you are doing great. Keep in mind, the good cholesterol adds to the total cholesterol count, so a high number in your case makes the total a throw-away issue.
my mum also told me Sasparella is a good one for estrogen (apparently) you cannot get this as the fizzy drink - rather from health food stores/natropaths (fingers crossed its in the drink form!). (NOTE: Flazseed in below!)... good luck!
Estrogen Rich Foods
Fruits; Apples, dates, plums, cherries,
Vegetables; Beets, carrots, yams, tomatoes, olives, potatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, and broccoli.
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?
I could SWEAR Barlean's flax seed oil helped me a LOT--back about eighteen months ago when I was experimenting with the natural stuff and going to the Amish doctor. (I tried everything, was desperate for help since I had a deadbeat endo who only knew how to prescribe Tapazole and change the dose and look at the T numbers while ignoring the rest of the Graves' disease.
