Hey there,
Today I am going to share with you a wonderful, healthy grain called flaxseed that has many health benefits to it. Flaxseed is derived from a seed of a flax plant and is available in powder, oil, or capsule form. It contains three primary ingredients: Omega-3 essential fatty acids, lignans, and fiber. It has been known to prevent cancer, lower cholesterol, relieve pain, and is a great fiber source. Flax seed also increases clear, smooth skin and strengthens your hair and nails!
For further reading on the benefits of flaxseed, Wed MD has great information that explains in greater detail.

I started using flaxseed a couple months ago and I have noticed a great difference in my complexion, my hair and nails are stronger, and I feel great all around. You can consume flaxseed in a few ways but I recommend buying flaxseed as whole seeds and you can grind them in a food processor. It is so simple! Now it is recommended to have 2 TBSP of flaxseed a day, and you can put it in almost anything. I like to make fruit smoothies for breakfast and I add my flaxseed in with it. Flaxseed has a nutty taste which I think is really good, and it tastes great in smoothies! You can basically add flaxseed in anything you like.. cookies, drinks, pancakes, yogurt, etc.
Try it out, it can't hurt! You will discover this great ingredient that has tons of health benefits and it is such an easy way to improve your health!
