Health Benefits of Flax


I love to use flax! I add ground flax to everything I can because it is sooo good for you! That is why a lot of my recipes contain it! Here are just a few ways you can benefit from adding flax to your diet!


Flax fights against cancer ( especially colon and breast ).

It fights against diabetes :)

Improves bowel health :)

It is high in omega-3 fatty acids- which among many things can help people who suffer from inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis :)

Flax is the riches known plant source of phytoestrogens which aid in natural hormone therapy which can lesson the symptoms of menopause :)

It helps reduce clotting time and makes arteries more pliable, thereby reduces the chance for heart attacks and strokes :)

Eating flax daily significantly boosts your body's immunity against bacteria and viruses :)
