Flaxseed contains soluble fiber and alpha linolenic acid (ALA), both of which are thought to improve heart health. Soluble fiber, like the fiber found in oatmeal, can reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, while ALA, a heart healthy Omega 3, may improve inflammation, ease arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) and lower blood pressure. Sprinkle ground flaxseed on your cereal or oatmeal, or drink it mixed with water or juice.
