Researchers looking to see if a specific type of seed had any effect on blood pressure were surprised recently- not by the fact that it helps to lower blood pressure- but by just how much.
Scientists looked at 2 groups- those that consumed 30 grams of milled flaxseed daily with meals and those that took a placebo. The group that was consuming the placebo saw a slight increase in their systolic (top) blood pressure number, and no significant change at all in the diastolic reading in the 6-month trial.
But the group that consumed the flaxseed every day for the 6 months saw an average drop of at least 15 mm/Hg systolic, and even 8mm/Hg diastolic.
The results are believed to be due to an extremely powerful antioxidant, alpha linoleic acid, which is naturally present in flaxseeds.
For many years, the benefits of flaxseeds were disputed, largely by drug makers, that purported that the seeds were of no real benefit because as soon as the seeds are milled or ground, their nutritive benefit disappeared rapidly and that any actual health changes were due to placebo effect and not really the seeds themselves.
The recently released study debunks the ‘worthless seed’ myth, with better results than the most commonly prescribed blood pressure medications.

Flax seed are an easy add on to your diet. Sprinkle on salads, yogurt, cereal and on top of vegetables.
I really had no idea about flaxseed, which is easy to come by. Does it also help to break down all these dangerous salts added to products (like MSG posing as 'sea salt' etc.)?
highly recommended by me….it works
I am regularly taking powdered Flax seeds on empty stomach followed by a cup of warm water , in the morning for over a months time . Although I have not checked my Blood pressure regularly , I am feeling more energetic in my daily activities .
It also works for diabetes type 2. I take it as a supplement and my doctor changed my medication from janumet back to metform only
Milled flaxseed is a bit like pouring fine sand on your food. I now mix it half and half with unmilled flaxseed, much crunchier!
Flax seed can be used in many ways to improve our health. It is easily available.There is no need even to go to Doctor if we use carefully.
CHIA SEEDS WORK EVEN BETTER THAN FLAX SEED.
