7 Health Promoting Properties of Flax

DID YOU KNOW? There are 7 Health Promoting Properties of Flax:

1. Flax promotes cardiovascular health.  The ultra high levels of omega-3 fatty acids lowers LDL (the bad cholesterol)
2. Flax promotes colon health
3. Flax can boost immunity
4. Flax provides fats that are precursors for brain building
5. Flax promotes healthy skin
6. Flax may lessen the severity of diabetes by stabilizing blood sugar levels
7. Flax can be slimming.  Fats high in essential fatty acids increase the body's metabolic rate, helping to burn excess unhealthy fats.

When using flax oil:

• Don't use it to cook.  It's okay to use it after food is cooked.  Heating healthy fats can turn them into harmful ones.
• Purchase it only when it's stored in a black container.  This keeps the sunlight out. 
• Keep your oil refrigerated. Healthy fats (olive oil being the exception) can spoil quickly.
• Use your oil within 6 weeks of opening.
• Take it with a meal.  Flax oil taken with a meal can increase the nutritional value of the other foods.
• Take it with along with your multivitamin/mineral.  It works best when taken with other nutrients.
