Irene talked about Flax seeds!

Warm, earthy, with a sutler hint of a nutty flavour combined with all the abundance of Omega -3 fatty acids makes Flax seed an important addition to any diet. Whole or ground flax seeds are available year round. Flax seeds are slightly larger than sesame seeds and have a hard shell that is smooth and shiny. Their colour changes from deep amber to reddish brown . If you are not into fish oils, or allergic to fish, this is a great alternative to obtaining your Omega-s 3's. In studies carried out by North Dakota State University and Medallion Labs , Flax seeds have found to have a positive effect on diabetes, lupus , kidney disorder and breast, colon and prostate cancer. This is not the first time flax seed has been published for the benefit of this supplement, it is being regarded as a super food. Flax seed's are also well known for the great impact it has on the heart, immune system, joint health as well as for maintaining good skin. 3 tablespoons a day will step you into the right direction in improving and impacting your health!
