These fatty acids are essential for heart health and cognitive function.The high fiber content in flax seeds, both soluble and insoluble fiber, supports digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Flax seeds are associated with various health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation, and supporting cardiovascular health.
