Golden Flax: A miracle food

Golden flax is a nearly perfect food to promote normal cholesterol levels, and has a wide array of other health benefits.  It's almost a miracle food that should be part of everyone's diet.

You've probably heard some the benefits of flax.

• It contains protein.
• It has a high concentration of omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are important for the health of every cell of your body, and can help you normalize your cholesterol levels.
• It has a high fiber content.  Just ¼ cup contains nearly 10 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber, which can help to promote regularity and good digestive health.
• It holds moisture deep inside the skin, promoting healthier skin.
• It's a great source of lignans, plant substances with antioxidant properties that promote immunity and cellular health.  They're hundreds of times more available in flaxseed than in other common plant foods.
• Taken in juice before a meal, it helps to fill you up, helping you to eat less and lose weight.

It's a truly amazing grain with important health benefits, making the addition of it to your diet one of the most important things you can do for your health.

There's flax, and then there's flax . . .

But not all flax is created equal.

The flax that you're probably most familiar with is brown flax.  However, it doesn't begin to compare with golden flax.

Golden flax is grown in western Canada, which has some of the richest soil in the world.  No pesticides are used while the crops are growing.  The result is a high-quality, premium flax, with a mild, nutty flavor that brown flax just can't touch.  Because of this special, natural process, golden flax not only has a superior taste and quality, it has an exceptional nutritional content.

How to use flax

You can add the benefits of golden flax to your diet by simply grinding it up and adding it to juice or rice milk twice a day.  It can also be added to bread, muffins, cookies or pancakes, or sprinkled over yogurt or ice cream or mix it in apple sauce, hot or cold cereals, salads, or added to trail mix.
