如果你正常進食豆類，肉類和食用油，我們的身體不會缺乏 Omega 6 （見下表）。
身體需要補充的是Omega 3, 而flax seeds 含有很多Omega 3. 2 tablespoon 含 2400mg Omega 3, 500mg Omega 6.
Flax seeds 可買整棵的，象芝麻大小，炒了後很香很好吃。
你也可以買打碎的，做餅幹，麵食放上都很好。
What can high-omega-3 foods do for you?
- Reduce inflammation throughout your body
- Keep your blood from clotting excessively
- Maintain the fluidity of your cell membranes
- lower the amount of lipids (fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides) circulating in the bloodstream
- decrease platelet aggregation, preventing excessive blood clotting
- inhibit thickening of the arteries by decreasing endothelial cells' production of a platelet-derived growth factor (the lining of the arteries is composed of endothelial cells)
- increase the activity of another chemical derived from endothelial cells (endothelium-derived nitric oxide), which causes arteries to relax and dilate
- reduce the production of messenger chemicals called cytokines, which are involved in the inflammatory response associated with atherosclerosis
- reduce the risk of becoming obese and improve the body's ability to respond to insulin by stimulating the secretion of leptin, a hormone that helps regulate food intake, body weight and metabolism, and is expressed primarily by adipocytes (fat cells)
- help prevent cancer cell growth
