Flaxseeds or linseeds contain anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids (alpha linolenic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid).

These seeds are also a great source of lignan, which is a plant compound rich in antioxidants and estrogen properties. This is why they help in weight loss by improving the functioning of the cells that burn fat.

3. Fibre

The tiny brown seeds also contain fibre, which can help you lose belly fat.

4. Protein

These flax seeds are a great source of plant-based protein and are low in calories, thereby giving your metabolism a serious boost and preventing weight gain.
