Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

There’s a wealth of information on flaxseeds out there, which is great…but sometimes confusing. Supplement or food source? Ground or whole? Plus, how can you know whom to trust? First, go to a source with a medical review board that peer-reviews all its publications — Mayo Clinic, for example. Today, challenge yourself to learn about flaxseed. It’s a great opportunity to start exploring nutrition education. Being informed is the first step toward taking control of your own health.

Flax needs to be introduced into your diet slowly but it creates amazing digestive/processing results over a realtvely short period of time.

I like sprinkling a little bit of fax seeds over my cold cereal.
