4 Reasons Flax Loves Your Heart!  

(Love yourself and your Body!)

Flax seed, Flax news, Flax for the Heart, Flax granola bars

I love Lucille Ball and her quote is a pefect valentine reminder to Love and take care of yourself first... then it is easier to love life + those around you! 

"Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.  You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."  -Lucille Ball

Reasons that Flax loves and takes care of your heart and cardiovascular health:

1)  Flax Omega 3 Protects the Heart
Flax seed is an excellent Vegetarian source of Omega 3, which is an essential fatty acid (meaning your body cannot create it or synthesize it -you need pure Omega 3. 

Flax seed, Flax news, Flax for the Heart, Flax granola barsOmega 3 helps protect the heart from heart (cardiovasular) disease, strokes, and high cholesterol (bad LDL cholesterol).  It may help decrease inflammation as well.

 
What is important is the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6.  Omega 3 is fragile and sensitive to cooking/heating... so, with all the cooked and processed foods, we simply aren't getting enough Omega 3 in our diet.

Even the FDA agrees that the Omega 3 in flax helps 1) support your heart + cardiovascular health, 2) support maintainence of your healthy immune system, and 3) Omega-3s are an important benefit to keeping your body healthy!

2)  Flax Fiber Moves Cholesterol Out of the Body

What most people don't know is that if you are not having a bowel movement every day, your body is re-absorbing cholesterol and toxins! 

First of all, you aren't going to feel very good, and secondly, we are all trying so hard to keep cholesterol levels normal that many people are on pills for it! 
Flax fiber is gentle and yet persistant. 

Flax seed, Flax news, Flax for the Heart, Flax granola barsYes, there are genetic factors, yet there are also things we can do better... like eating less processed foods and eating more foods with fiber that have not been processed and modified!

People are having more trouble having regular bowel movements primarily because of our diets.  This is unfortunate because it is avoidable. 

Eat flax and let it gently cleanse your digestive system from toxins and cholesterol! 

The many people that come tell me they have been able to lower their cholesterol to normal levels is really incredible!  It is so simple.

3)  Flax Lignans Decrease Plasma Cholesterol

Lignans have been studied for their healing benefits and anti-inflammatory properties.

If the digestive system is irritated, overworked, or 'under the weather', then lignans can help the healing process as well as help maintain a healthy digestive system.

A study done on the health benefits of lignans, showed that dietary flaxseed lignans helped to decrease plasma cholesterol.Flax seed, Flax news, Flax for the Heart, Flax granola bars

This is important since high plasma cholesterol levels are associated with the increased risk of coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis (thickening artery walls).

4)  Customers Say they are Able to Get Rid of Cholesterol Meds!

The fact is, I hear again and again from people like you how they have reduced/ eliminated their cholesterol meds (working with their Physician of course).

People are so excited to get rid of the expense and pain of taking extra meds and the frustration of trying to manage stubborn high cholesterol.

You simply cannot even compare the high amounts that you can spend on cholesterol and blood pressure meds with the small amount you spend on flax!  The value is truly incredible.

It is indisputable.  Flax is good for your heart!  Flax helps takes care of your heart and keeps it lovin'!
