Flax Seeds For Post Menopausal Hot Flushes
A pilot study at the Mayo Clinic found that Flax Seeds may be helpful in reducing hot flushes in post menopasual women.
Data from 21 women not on HRT who suffered from hot flushes and took a supplement of crushed flax seeds each day showed an almost 60% decrease in the frequency of hot flushes over the course of the six week study! The researchers also reported improvement in mood, joint and muscle pain, chills and sweating. The results were considered promising and a larger clinical trial is planned in 2008 to hopefully confirm flax seeds as a new alternative to reduce hot flushes.
Flax Seeds are a rich source of plant omega3 fatty acids and lignans. Lignans are phytonutrients with weak oestrogenic properties and may be behind flaxseed's benefits for menopausal symptoms.

Supplements that may lower the chances of Dementia and Alzheimers by up to 60%
Research published in the Journal of Neurology by French Scientists shows that a diet rich in Omega3 oils can lower the chances of Dementia by up to 60%.
The study also found that the imbalances in our diets that mean we consume far too much Omega6 in spreads, processed foods and cooking oils can double the risk of Alzheimers say researchers.
That's why its only supplementing the right kind of pure Omega3 oil such as Fish oil or Flaxseed oil rather than a mixture of Omega oils that will help keep your brain in gear.
A separate US study looking at the effects of Beta Carotene has found that men taking Beta Carotene Supplements for 15 years or longer have better functioning memory and other brain skills.
In addition there is increasing evidence to show that Antioxidants which mop up harmful naturally produced chemicals produced in the body can stave off diseases of ageing such as Alzheimers.

omega3 for mums to be.
According to US researchers only 41% of expectant and new mums know that omega3 especially DHA are essential for themselves and their baby. DHA is found in fish oil and made in the body from ALA in flax seed oil.
Dutch researchers found that expectant mums who ate omega3 reported balanced mood after pregnancy and a quick return to optimal health.
A US study also found that babies whose mothers ate fish during pregnancy had higher development scores.
Australian researchers suggest that mums could protect their babies from developing allergies by eating omega3 during pregnancy. They found that babies were three times less likely to become egg sensitive and ten times less likely to develop skin allergies.
Babies brain and eye development is extremely rapid during the last trimester and early months of age. During this time, the brain and eyes use large amounts of omega3, especially DHA - up to 70% of a baby's energy. According to London Metropolitan University's Professor Crawford the developing baby appears to take up DHA in preference to other omega3's such as EPA. This DHA preference is in the region of 30:1

Taking omega3 supplements helps to keep us healthy and as a large proportion of our brains are made up of fatty acids, our memory, concentration and general mood can suffer if were deficient. But that's not all. Restoring the balance of omega3 will also help you stay looking good with soft smooth skin, shiny hair and strong nails, helps strengthen immunity and cardiovascular health, maintains energy levels and helps keep our brains energised. Fish is full of omega3 but if you are a vegetarian or don't like the aftertaste of fish oils then Flax Seed Oil is perfect for you.
