From ancient times, linseed oil in Russia was used not only as a seasoning for dishes, but also as a healing elixir. Judge for yourself, just a couple of spoons of this product with regular use will allow you to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, normalize lipid metabolism, and improve kidney function. Flaxseed oil is especially recommended for those who suffer from chronic constipation.
Beauty diet
Now in modern Russia, interest in the traditions and customs of our ancestors is actively reviving. Do not stay away from fashion trends and nutritionists. They have developed a nutrition program that is aimed not so much at losing weight, but at maintaining health and beauty. The idea of the diet is simple: flaxseed oil is taken on an empty stomach daily in the morning, 15 minutes before breakfast, then at lunch and in the evening. The allowable amount is three tablespoons (tablespoons) during the day. You can use it in salads, cereals and other dishes that need to be seasoned after cooking. Pay attention to the fact that heat treatment turns linseed oil from a healthy product into almost poison.
If for some reason this idea did not appeal to you, replace the oil with flax seed, which can be easily combined with any dish, thus enriching not only its taste, but also its composition. The rest of the diet meets all the rules of good nutrition. Preference is given to vegetables, fruits, bread with the addition of bran, white meat and fish.
Such a nutrition plan will solve a lot of problems, including such as excessive dryness and fragility of hair and nails, irritated or flaky skin. The content of phytohormones in linseed oil, similar to female estrogen, allows it to be used to alleviate the symptoms of PMS and PCS. Immediately make a reservation that we are not talking about a complete deliverance from malaise. It is unlikely that in this case linseed oil will help on an empty stomach. It will only slightly alleviate the symptoms.
From seven ailments ...

You can not ignore the cosmetic properties of the product. To use linseed oil for face and hair, the beauties did not guess today. But in the wake of a passion for all natural, interest in the good old environmentally friendly cosmetics has resumed. However, it should be borne in mind that the use of any vegetable oil as an independent product in skin care does not make the slightest sense. Flaxseed oil will bring more benefit if you make masks for hair, neck and decollete on its basis.
For the sake of health and beauty
Now let's talk about how to take linseed oil and how to distinguish a healthy product from a fake. Let's start with the first paragraph. As you already understood, frying in linseed oil is not worth it. If you do not use the product as a medicine, just flavored it with salads from various vegetables, cereals, boiled potatoes. Of course, you shouldn’t be too zealous. Even healthy fats with excess can be stored in extra pounds. The consumption rate is 40 ml per day. And do not forget that vegetable oil is a high-calorie product. In addition, you will have to sacrifice animal fats, reducing meat consumption.
Today, manufacturers often give out a completely different product for high-quality linseed oil. Get it by processing the seeds of flax flax. Of course, there is no harm from him, but you are unlikely to see any benefit either. Flaxseed oil, which can be safely eaten, should be the color of milk corn and have the smell of mowed grass, eventually turning into fish. The aftertaste of a fresh product with a slight bitterness.
