Brief Summary

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an economically important oilseed. Lifestyle and diet are the first line interventions to reduce the short-term and long-term cardiovascular risk factors. Due to its high content of lignans, α-linolenic acid (LNA) and fiber, flaxseed has a beneficial effect on CVD risk factors, components to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Objective: To determine the effect of the consumption of flax seed yogurt on the women lipid profile values to the limit, users of a pharmacy in Elche and in this way reduce the small dyslipidemia. The investigators performed an intervention including 133 women (age= 25-70 years). Participants were randomly and double-blind distributed into three groups: Group 1 (n= 30) consumed flaxseed (FS), yoghurt (Y) and diet (D), Group 2 (n= 32) volunteers consumed (Y) + (D) and Group 3 (n=27) consumed only diet. All groups followed a limit levels-cholesterol diet. Circulating total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and were determined at the beginning and end of a 30-day test. As a result, group 1 presented significantly reduced total cholesterol levels. Correlation analysis indicated that the intake of (FS) could explain the flaxseed effect of the variation of the cholesterol and TG in this group. Altogether, this study concludes that consumption FS exert a positive impact in total cholesterol level and TG

    30 days

Study Arms (1)

Raw Flaxseed

EXPERIMENTAL

For 30 days, participants in group 1 took with 15g flaxseed mixed with yoghurt and diet,(the 15g of raw flaxseed that was provided in addition to the linen package spoon so all would take far it) group 2 took yoghurt and diet, and group 3 only received the diet.The energy intake of the designed diet was similar into the three groups (ranging 1900-2000 Kcal per day).

Dietary Supplement: Raw Flaxseed

Interventions
