Why you should be eating this "wonder food" Flax Seed

I have been eating flax seeds for a few years now, and have to admit that my favorite way to indulge in this wonder food is sprinkling a tablespoon, or two on my oatmeal. Another way is blending them into my protein shake. There are so many health benefits in these seeds. Recent studies suggest that flax seeds may have a protective effect against breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. Some other benefits include omega 3 essential fatty acid "good fats" which have been shown to have heart healthy effects. They are also high in fiber, and contain lignans, which have plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. You can buy flax seeds almost anywhere now due to their popularity. #flaxseeds #hearthealthy #wonderfood #sprouts #wholefoods #traderjoes #antioxidants #omega3 #goodfats
