Flaxseed, called linseed in some countries, is a good source
of dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans. Flax Seed
Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins,
potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.
But now let¡¯s talk about the nutritional values
of flax seed. They are the best source for Omega 3 fatty acids,
which is great for the brain and concentration. Adding flax
seeds to your diet can increase your ability to concentrate
better and think faster.
Although drugs have very important clinical uses, they are
only part of the solution. A comprehensive approach to treating
cognitive disorders should include foods and supplements that
benefit the overall health of brain cells.
Lignans and other flax seed components may also have antioxidant
properties, which means they may reduce the activity of cell-damaging
free radicals.

Practicing dedicated hand hygiene makes good sense when it
comes to fighting the spread of germs. Many of the common,
and not so common viruses are transmitted from the hand to
the ears, eyes and nose, and that is why surgical masks and
disposable plastic gloves are items most commonly used as
protection from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
Hand washing is essential and it is even better if our hands
are sanitized regularly. Killing germs during hand washing
is effective only if you scrub thoroughly with soap and water
for at least 30 to 60 seconds and if you pay close attention
to cleansing the thumbs, fingertips, and fingernails.
For those of us in the workplace, in hospitals, schools,
or attending to every day demands, this advice makes hand
washing necessary several times each day. Indeed, it can't
always be done and that is why additional and effective measures
to fight germs are also in place. The use of alcohol-based
hand sanitizer is an effective answer when soap and water
are not available, due to their fast, germ killing ability.
The good news is: this type of hand sanitizer can be used
anywhere, anytime and no water or rinsing is required.
There are also many ways of consuming the seeds. You can
simply just chew them. You can grind the seeds to make a power.
Omega-3 fatty acids are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids
(18-22 carbon atoms in chain length) with the first of many
double bonds beginning with the third carbon atom (when counting
from the methyl end of the fatty acid molecule). Read on for

diglycoside, but for simplicity this substance will be referred
to as lignans)
Flaxseeds and their oil may also lower total blood cholesterol,
as well as LDL ("bad") cholesterol

results use alcohol based hand sanitizer as follows; apply

Cardiovascular disease kills more Americans than the next
7 causes of death combined - including cancer - the AHA report
states. Cancer is less common in communities that eat large
amounts of fish, and the reason is thought to be the presence
in fish of the long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates.
