Flax Seed
Flax Seed is a nutrient-dense food that provides multiple health and nutritional benefits. In particular, flax is a great source of protein, fiber, and Omega-3 fatty acids, along with a host of other essential nutrients. It’s also a great source of Thiamin (Vitamin B-1), which helps to regulate the metabolism and it’s also a great source of copper, which helps with neurological development, immune system support, and iron metabolism.
Flax is approximately 30% fiber and provides both soluble and insoluble fiber sources. Fiber feeds the good bacteria in your gut and helps absorb excess water, which results in healthier and more regular bowel movements. A healthy gut is the foundation for the rest of your body’s health.
