might make it difficult to meet daily nutrient recommendations. Proponents of Whole30 note that it’s only 30 days and includes a diverse array of nutritious foods. How Does Whole30
Compare to a Traditional Ketogenic Diet?Keto and Whole30 have differences and similarities. The similarities are that they both avoid certain key foods, such as refined grains and added sugar.

[13]One study involving over 6,000 women concluded those who eat flaxseeds are 18% less likely to get breast cancer. More research is needed specifically on lignans in flaxseeds and cancer risk. [14]7. ) Blood PressureStudies show flaxseeds have a natural ability to lower blood pressure. One study found ingesting 30 grams of flaxseeds every day for six months lowered diastolic and systolic blood pressure by 7 mmHg and 10 mmHg. [15]A large review of multiple studies concluded taking flaxseeds every day for over three months decreased blood pressure by 2 mmHg. Lower blood pressure could decrease the risk of fatality from a stroke or heart disease. [16] [17]8. ) Blood SugarHigh blood sugar levels are usually the result of the body’s resistance to insulin or the inability to produce insulin. When people with type 2 diabetes included 10-20 grams of flaxseed powder in their diet every day for at least one month, they experienced 8-20% decrease in blood sugar levels. [18] [19] [20]The blood sugar-lowering effect might be due to flaxseeds’ insoluble fiber content.
