Flax seed has got many health benefits. It helps in reducing the bad cholesterol in the body. It can be consumed as it is or in the form of chutney, powder, thogayal or can mix it in the roti flour while making roti. I had shared the recipe of flaxseed chutney with www.simpleindianrecipes.com: flaxseed chutney.
It also helps in prevention of hot flashes, controlling blood sugar, cholesterol etc. One must always remember when you have some advantages, there is also disadvantages. Side effects associated with flax seed consumption are Flatulence, stomach pain, Nausea, constipation, diarrhea and bloating. These are the information after browsing through the net.
Any item consumed moderately does not have much side effects. Since I have triglycerides more, I made it a point to add one teaspoon flaxseed powder in the chapati atta every day.
