Fun With Flax Seeds

Packed with monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), flax seeds are simply fantastic. These super seeds are excellent for lowering your cholesterol levels, reducing body fat, and for combating bloating. Why? All because of one power nutrient – fiber.

Flax seeds are packed with fiber so you can count on two things–your digestive system will love you and you’ll naturally stay fuller longer. So get your hands on a pouch of milled flax seeds from my friends at Carrington Farms and reap the benefits of this fabulous seed asap. Sprinkling it atop your cereal, salad, smoothies and yogurt, or if you are a baked good kind of girl, try these muffin top banishing muffins.
