Nature's Most Perfect Food
Flaxseed is, ounce for ounce, the richest source of omega fatty acids and lignans (potent cancer fighters) known in nature.
The immune-enhancing omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9 are balanced in the combination your body requires for optimal health. Also loaded with vitamins and phytonutrients, and an excellent source of protein and fiber, flaxseed is nature's gift to health!
Good for What Ails You
Flaxseed has long been known to promote healthy immune function and recent studies have confirmed its ability to benefit those at risk for or suffering from a broad range of health problems including:
* Heart disease/elevated cholesterol
* Hypertension/high blood pressure
* Diabetes
* Certain cancers
* Rheumatoid Arthritis/Lupus
* Eczema/Psoriasis/skin problems
* Side Effects of Menopause/Osteoporosis
* Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitis, and
constipation
* Multiple Sclerosis
Weight Management
In addition, research indicates that including flaxseed in your daily diet can help you manage your weight. Besides stabilizing your sugar levels , flax expands five times in bulk when ingested. Flax taken half an hour before meals will help you eat less, so you will lose weight while simultaneously strengthening your immune system.
Using the WHOLE Seed for Fiber
The benefits of flaxseed in its whole seed form far surpass those of flax oil because freshly ground seed includes the fiber content that is so vital to maintaining digestive health. And because you grind the seed as needed you avoid oxidation of beneficial oils and are assured of freshness. Unlike oil, flaxseed has an unlimited shelf life when properly stored and protected from UV rays.
| Flax seeds are thought to have originated in the ancient Middle East during biblical times. They are an important source of polyunsatured fatty acids, including Omega-3, plus Magnesium, Zinc and dietary fiber. Flax oil from flax seeds is the richest known source of linolenic acid. It contains protein, mucilage, phytosterols and lignans, which are naturally included at 100 times the level of the next best source, wheat bran. | | |
