Is flaxseed oil good for cooking?

Flax seed oil provides a long list of health benefits, including providing a good source of protein and fibre, as well as lowering hunger and aiding in weight loss.

• Lowers inflammation- Flaxseed oil may help to reduce inflammation because it includes omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed was discovered to contain chemicals that helped reduce C-reactive protein (an inflammation marker) in some study participants, according to a review of various human trials.
• Reduce cancer risks- Linoorbitides, which are found in flaxseed oil, are cancer-fighting and antioxidant chemicals. The oil is also high in dietary lignans, which are plant-based substances that have been shown to lower the risk of breast cancer. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acids (ALA), which may delay the growth of cancer cells or possibly kill them. While the study on ALA and cancer risk reduction is encouraging, the dosage required to make it a useful therapeutic is too high. When you consume too much flaxseed oil, you run the danger of serious side effects and difficulties.
• Promotes heart health– Flaxseed oil supplements, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been shown in studies to enhance levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the body (DHA). EPA and DHA are crucial for maintaining a healthy heart and avoiding heart disease. In the body, ALA is converted to EPA and DHA, and flaxseed contains omega-3 fatty acids naturally.
• Improves gut health – Flaxseed oil is a natural laxative. Flaxseed oil supplementation helped reduce constipation in 50 haemodialysis patients in a study. Flaxseeds were found to be useful in lowering IBS symptoms, such as constipation and diarrhoea.
• Improves skin – ALA is an antioxidant that has a lot of power. Cosmetic companies frequently advertise it as having “anti-aging” effects. Flaxseed oil has been shown in studies to help reduce skin cell irritation and improve skin regeneration.
• Aids in weight loss – Flaxseed supplements can help suppress appetite, allowing for lower food consumption and weight loss, according to a 2012 study published in the journal Appetite. Flaxseed’s soluble fibre (a type of fibre that absorbs water in the gut) is thought to contribute to a sensation of fullness.
• Reduces menopause symptoms – Flaxseed oil may aid with menopause symptoms, according to some research. A 2015 research of 140 menopausal women found that using flaxseed oil supplements reduced hot flashes and improved quality of life.
