Why Use Flax Seed
Chances are you are not getting enough valuable fiber or
Omega 3's in your diet. Omega 3 is found in cold water fish, like salmon,
although you would need to eat almost 3 pounds of salmon to equal only 50 grams
of flaxseed! So unless you are eating salmon every night for dinner you
are probably not getting enough Omega 3 in you diet.

Adding Golden Fitness Flaxseed to your diet is an
important step towards a healthy diet plan, which includes fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains. If your primary diet consists mostly of
cheeseburgers and fries, then flaxseed isn't likely to help much.
Keep the following tips in mind while using flaxseed.
 | Grind your flaxseed using a battery or electric
operated coffee bean grinder, blender, or food processor. |
| Our resealable, refillable containers,
should be stored in a cool dry place. |
| Refrigerate any extra ground flaxseed to maintain
freshness. |
| Whole flaxseeds must be thoroughly chewed to
utilize their nutritional benefits. |
| Ground flaxseed is easier to digest when eaten. |
| Flaxseeds have a nutty flavor and are excellent
sprinkled on salads, cereals, and yogurt. |
| They are a wonderful addition to baked goods, such
as breads, muffins, waffles, hot cereals and pancakes. |
| Stir 1 TBLS of ground flaxseed into your favorite
fruit, vegetable juice, or milk. |
| There are no nutritional differences between brown
and golden seeds. |
| Because flaxseed is high in fiber, it is important
to drink plenty of water. |
| Flaxseed absorbs approximately eight times its
weight in water, so if taken 1 hour before meals, it may help you loose
extra weight by reducing your
appetite. |
| On rare occasions, some people may have an allergic
reaction to flaxseed.
