Flax seeds are very rich in fiber both the soluble and insoluble kinds. They greatly aid your bowel movements. Not just that, flax seeds are also very rich in Omega-3 fats. These are especially great if you’re a vegetarian and don’t eat meat. Omega-3 fats are a brilliant source of proteins and you need to ensure that you’re not deficient in them. Flax seeds can be ground up and added to smoothies or you can simply munch on them as well. Because they contain fiber, they keep you feeling full for long without making you feel bloated or gassy!
