Health Tip: Flax Meal
A couple tablespoons of flax meal on a daily basis will provide essential omega-3 fatty acids to promote good arterial health. Flax meal has been proven to lower cholesterol, and is a good source of fiber. In addition, omega-3’s serve as a sort of “WD-40″ for the body, lubricating joints that typically experience increased friction and pain as we age.
Try mixing the ground variety with a bowl of cereal, oatmeal or yogurt to get your daily dose of this superfood. It’s also fantastic when included in pancake and waffle recipes. Another idea is to sprinkle a tablespoon over some peanut-buttered toast.
Flax meal can be purchased in most natural foods stores, and is now become more readily available in supermarkets.
