Golden flaxseed oil - what does it contain and how does it affect the body?

Golden flaxseed oil is known primarily for its high content of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, classified as Essential Unsaturated Fatty Acids. These substances have a beneficial effect on the functioning of many systems in the human body, including primarily the proper functioning of the immune and digestive systems. EFAs regulate metabolism and cholesterol levels, thus supporting the prevention of atherosclerosis, hypertension and heart disease. In addition, linseed oil has a protective effect on the digestive tract and provides the body with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.

Application of golden linseed oil

Golden linseed oil is widely used primarily in Dr. Budwig's slimming diet. It can be used, among other things, to prepare healthy cottage cheese spreads. The product also goes well with fish, salads, raw salads, dairy products, cold sauces, meat, spreads, groats or bread, acting as a carrier of the vitamins contained in them. It is worth using it alternatively as a base for dressings and mayonnaises. It should be remembered that flaxseed oil should only be consumed cold, because heating the product leads to the loss of nutritional properties and the original taste of the oil.

In order to strengthen immunity and improve the functioning of the digestive system, it should be taken:

• on an empty stomach in the amount of 2 tablespoons a day

How to store golden flaxseed oil?

Golden flaxseed oil should be stored in the original dark bottle at a temperature of 4 to 20 degrees Celsius. After opening, the product should be kept in the refrigerator, without access to oxygen, and consumed within a maximum of six weeks. Unopened flaxseed oil usually has a 3-month shelf life (from the date of pressing), which results from the specificity of the cold pressing process and the omission of the purification stage. Natural linseed oil also does not contain any preservatives, which is why it is produced in small quantities, which guarantee its freshness and excellent taste.
