Flaxseed Oil Could Help Reduce Post Menopausal Osteoporosis Risk  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319) 3 years ago

Hi Friends,

Adding flaxseed oil to the diet could reduce the risk of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and women with diabetes. Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.
For women, bone loss is fastest in the first few years after menopause, and osteoporosis is most common in women after menopause, when it is called postmenopausal osteoporosis. The presence of so-called "omega-3 fatty acids" in flaxseed oil may play a role in protecting the processes of matrix formation and bone mineralization, which are apparently compromised by diabetes and menopause. It is evaluated how flaxseed oil in the diet might delay the onset of osteoporosis.

Even Flaxseed's are excellent source of the omega-3 essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), as well as phytoestrogens known as lignans. They are a very good source of dietary fiber, magnesium, potassium, and manganese. They are a good source of the minerals phosphorus, iron, and copper.Some studies have found flaxseed to be beneficial in reducing cholesterol..

Hi, life8118. Thanks for this helpful information!happy I enjoyed reading your discussion. I will keep this information in mind. I will also share it with my mother-in-law. She is diagnosed with Osteoporosis. And I need it for me also, I had high cholesterol last year. It was just 40 points over the range. I will keep this in mind for both of us. Thank you for sharing this information with us at myLot.happy

Hi cream,

Thanks for your nice words,thumbup foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were found to lower blood pressure. People whose diet had liberal servings of fatty fish (e.g. trout, salmon, and mackerel) walnuts, flaxseed, all rich in omega-3 fatty acids were found to have slightly lower blood pressure than people who ate diets with less of this nutrient. Other parameters which help one to lower blood pressure are eating less salt, losing excess weight, avoiding heavy drinking, eating more fruit and vegetables, whole grains (these provide the body with valuable fibre, minerals, vegetable proteins and other nutrients) and getting more omega-3 fatty acids.

Also a tremendous source of omega-3 fatty acids, flax seed has been shown to contain powerful anti-cancer compounds called lignans. Flax is also a great source of fiber, which enhances digestion. Try throwing it into your next smoothie or sprinkling on a salad.

Hi life!happy
Thanks for some very useful advice about flaxseed. Hope consuming flaxseed would be good and healthy for my better half. I once saw it in a shop selling these kind of products, however, I did not buy it. Seeds were brown in colour and it had no taste at all, though the owner of the shop told me that flaxseed are very useful, if taken in little quantity everyday. Now after your information, I intend to buy it.
Have a great day!happy
Deepak


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

Hi deepak,thanks, i am attaching the picture of flax seeds, sorry i need to attach with the discussion.

And the best way as how to use/eat the flax seeds is first dry roast on non-stick pan/tava on slow flame for 3-4 minutes and then coarse grind and have it in the morning 1tbs is sufficient for the day.. u can add that in milk, its taste good, its not at bad or not eatable. The reason why you have to grind and have it is:
You get more benefit from the milled kind because it's easier for your body to digest. The good stuff is inside the seeds, so it's not absorbed as well when in seed form.

Here is some more useful information: Flaxseeds are known as ALSI in Hindi, Gujarati, and Punjabi, Ali Vidai in Tamil. In Marathi, it is also known as jawas, alashi, and linseed. n Bengali, it is known as Tishi, in Oriya its Pesi. In Kannada, its called Agasi, and telugu people call it Avise ginzalu. Finally, in Kerala, the Malyalis call it Cheruchana vithu

Hi life!happy
Thanks for the additional and very useful inputsthumbup. I have heard the name 'alsi'. Actually, I saw the flexseed on a shop, which was selling rosted products and he showed me this one also and told me its benefits too, but somehow I did not buy it at that time.
I can understand your point of view that it would be better to consume it with milk.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

yes, i give to my mom with muesli, milk, and flex powder in the breakfast, its not at all bad.. not so or great taste, but not bad to taste.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dpk262006 (11868)   ranked 1,371 out of 8,776 in health  3 years ago

It is good to know that you take so much care of your mother.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

yes, deepak, i really enjoy the work i do for my mom, because she is the source of inspiration for me, because i give lot of attention to learning more on health subjects, and more so it give me some satisfaction, which i guess i can't express that in my words.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dpk262006 (11868)   ranked 1,371 out of 8,776 in health  3 years ago

Hi life!
There could be nothing more rewarding for a mother that her daughter i.e. you look after her so intently and seriously. I think serving our parents should be our first priority, after all it is they who brought us in this world and worked hard to bring us up and help us grow. Keep doing such good deeds, you would be blessedthumbup by the great God.

Hey, this is really interesting! Can you get these things in old age or does it not matter? Who is at risk? Flaxseed oil sounds like a miracle oil! It sound like to does everything... Hey, you won't happen to know if it helps your hair grow, do you?


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

friend, i feel good things to be started as early as possible, why to wait for problems to knock the door, it just start applying and need not worry about problems related to health.
My mom is live example, as she never taken good care when she was young and now when she is just 52, having many health related issues, so its good lesson to learn from our parents, and taking care about health is important, as the old saying, if you don't have good health, even how wealthy, rich you are, but you can't enjoy the life.
so never wait too long and start applying good things in your life, good day..

life8118,

We compared the effects of consuming eqal amounts of flaxseed oil or soy
on estrogen metabolism and bio-chemical markers of bone metabolism in post
Menopausal women.
Supplementation with flax seed oil modifies urinary estrogen metabolite
excretion to a greater extent than does supplementation with an equal
amount of soy. This modification by flax seed oil is associated with
an increase in urinary lignan excretion. Despite the shift in estrogen
metabolism to favour the less biologically active estrogens, a negative
effect on bone cell matobolism was not observed.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

hi,

i think you work for such research related work, so you mean to say consuming flax seeds or flax oil actually do the wonders, i wish you can simplify the language for me, thanks a lot for valuable feedback, expecting more from you on this thread..

I've never personally heard the benefits of flaxseed oil until now, but I must admit, they sound like they are many and it is something that I'm probably going to have to look into. I have, however heard of the benefits of omega-3s and that is the reason that our family eats a lot of fish because fish is another good source of omega-3-fatty-acids. The part that really intrigues me is that there are studies that have found flaxseed to be beneficial in reducing cholesterol as that is one thing that our entire family has a problem with.


myLot reputation of 96/100. life8118 (5319)  3 years ago

hi friend,

yes, that's right, fish is excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, which protect/save us from many health related problems..
