OATMEAL COOKIES WITH COCOA POWDER & LINSEED

The linseed oatmeal cookie with cocoa powder is a source of fiber with a characteristic intense cocoa flavor.
Its Latin name is Linum usitatissimum (linseed the beneficial) and not without a reason…
The linseed is rich in fiber both soluble and insoluble. The soluble fiber helps to reduce cholesterol and the levels of glucose in the body while the insoluble one enhances the proper bowel function. Just one single teaspoon of linseed contains 8 gr of vegetable
fiber.
The health benefits of linseed are numerous and of high significance. It is well known for its anticancer properties because, as previously mentioned, lignans have the ability to balance hormones and prevent tumors from growing reducing the risk of breast cancer.
The linseed enhances the cardiovascular system, maintaining blood pressure in moderate levels and reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems. What is more, it reduces the cholesterol levels whereas the O-3 fatty acids help lose weight because they provoke a
feeling of fullness leaving sufficient time to the digestive system to process the protein and fiber and limiting our craving for more food. A thing that should also be mentioned is that linseed prevents blood sugar levels from spiking. In other words it maintains them in normal levels without fluctuations.
Consequently, there are numerous reasons why the linseed is called a superfood.
