The Fabulous

Flaxseed

 

 

 

 

Are you trying to increase fiber in your diet or perhaps just keep the "waste product" highway moving smoothly and efficiently???  Well I have a great solution......FLAXSEED!!! Not only is it loaded with both soluble and insoluble fiber, it's very affordable, which leaves more money for a cute dress!!   If you have a "slacker bowel" like many of us do......consuming just 2 tablespoons per day of this magic seed will turn your "slacker bowel" into SUPER BOWEL!!!  Let's face it, constipation is no joke...it comes with many hazardous pitfalls for your health.  The longer our waste products remain in our colon, the harder and more toxic it becomes for our body, so we want it out of us....on schedule!!!  It's a terrible cycle, the longer it remains, the harder it is to squeeze it out because all of the water is being absorbed, which can then lead to complications such as Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis.  Picture this if you dare....think of one of those long balloons clowns use to make animals out of (scary for some us!!)   Ok...stay with me....now pretend you are holding one of them in your hands and you are squeezing it and a big "bubble" pops out, this is what Diverticulosis looks like....small pockets that form in your colon when you "strain" to eliminate that can cause all kinds of good things to get stuck in and lead to infection or even worse....PERFORATION!!!.   I don't know about you, but I would rather consume more fiber to prevent this and your solution could be Flaxseed.  Although you can buy Flaxseed already ground, you can also buy it whole in the market and you could just grind them yourself at home in a coffee grinder, which is what I like to do at times.  I love to add my Flaxseed to yogurt, oatmeal, or even sprinkle some on ice cream.   All you need is just 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed per day to enjoy the benefits of good health and a super efficient bowel highway!!!   Lets not also forget the added benefit of saying goodbye to our "waste products" in an efficient manner.......A FLAT TUMMY!!!!!!!  I am sure we can all appreciate this!!!!  So lets see.....flat tummy, smooth colon with no bubbles or pockets, inexpensive, feeling of being full......I'm in!!!  So the next time you head to the market with your GalsShopper....don't forget to put Flaxseed on the list!!!
