Heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and lignans. Lowers blood colestrol and cancer risk. Same catagory as fish oil in helping reduce abnormal heart rhythmn & blood clots. Shown to slow kidney decline resulting from lupus. The list goes on and on.

If you want to give flax a try - mix ground flaxseed in hot oatmeal or rice pilaf or blend in smoothies or sprinkle on yogurt or applesauce or add to salad dressing (one tablespoon ground). Whole flax seeds pass through your digestive system so buy it ground or grind in spice or coffee bean grinder. Wink

I've always been interested in nutrition but as a smoker I figured
"why bother" since I was conteracting anything good I could be doing for myself. So, now I'm getting a renewed interest.

Kaye...we talked about this...thank you for reminding me.

It makes your hair so soft....not to mention all the other benefits!

It is now on my list for tomorrow.

I put it on my cereal and in my smoothies...

It's a natural laxative, as well.

I could never remember to put it on my oatmeal, so now I take a gel-cap of flax every morning with my other vitamins. I heard it takes about three-four weeks before you start to notice skin and hair improvements. Good stuff!
