Don’t Be Lax, GET FLAX

Flaxseed serves to:
Aid in Digestion
Combat Cancer
Protect Against Heart Disease
Lower Blood Cholesterol Levels
Also known as linseed,
these seeds are derived from the flax plant.

Flaxseeds:

• High in dietary Fiber
• contain Lignans, an antioxidant and phytoestrogen beneficial to both men and women for fighting hormonal cancer
• contain the essential fatty acid Alpha-Linoleic Acid, the precursor to Omega 3s

Add ground flaxseeds to salad dressings, juices, smoothies, non-dairy yogurt, cereals, breads, and cookies.

Flaxseeds are available whole or ground – the nutrients are more easily absorbed when ground. Store whole in airtight containers and refrigerate.
