anked as number 1 for its ‘omega-3 fatty acid’ content, flax seeds work best at fighting free radicals that can cause inflammation of blood vessels together with ‘lignans’, a type of fibre present in it that averts the formation of plaque. Interesting fact is these heart protective nutrients are intact and active even on cooking or baking at high temperatures which allows you to gobble 1 tbsp (15 gm) of roasted and ground flax seeds /day as it is or simply add it to salads, muffins, parathas etc to ensure a healthy heart.
