Mix this with wheat flour to reduce cholesterol levels permanently

High cholesterol increases heart disease risk, but adding nutrient-dense foods like flaxseeds can help manage it naturally.

Flaxseeds are packed with magnesium, phosphorus, thiamine, and fibre, making them a great choice for heart health.

Rotis are a staple in many Indian households, but most people use only wheat flour, missing out on other nutrients.

Mixing flaxseed flour with wheat flour can enhance the nutritional value of roti and help reduce LDL cholesterol.

The fibre in flaxseeds supports heart health by lowering cholesterol and managing high blood pressure.

A study by the National Institutes of Health highlighted flaxseeds as effective in controlling high cholesterol.

To make flaxseed roti, grind flaxseeds, mix the flour with wheat, and knead a soft dough with lukewarm water.

Before starting a flaxseed diet, consult a doctor to ensure it’s safe, as flaxseeds may cause allergies in some people.
