The Superfood Grocer shed light on the need to add nutrient-rich, plant-based, whole foods to our daily diet, to supply our body with what it needs to thrive, to boost life, to heal and maintain itself, and to fight what we have accepted as “normal” -- low energy, difficulty sleeping, difficulty getting up in the morning, constant cravings, unmanageable weight gain, dull and aging skin, low immunity, depression, and eventual serious diseases pegged to "old age" (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, among others), which are actually more of the outcome of misinformed daily decisions on diet and lifestyle accumulated over time.

Flax Seeds have the highest source of Omega 3, an essential fatty acid, which helps lower cholesterol and improves heart, skin, bone, and mental health. For athletes and active people, omega-3 reduces inflammation and plays an important role in the metabolism of fat. Flax Seeds are a whole food rich in fiber and a complete protein with all the essential amino acids, it also retains all their enzymes, allowing the body to absorb them easily and then utilize them to improve immune function. Flax Seeds also are high in potassium an integral electrolyte for active people. Be sure to choose whole flax seeds such as this one rather than powdered flax seed meal.
