Superfoods Series- The Power of the Flax

November 14, 2013 Miranda Hammer

Why is flax in the superfoods category? Because it is super-charged with beneficial attributes! Like it's other friends in the superfoods category, flax is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and fiber. It also aids in reducing the risk of heart disease by lowering LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol).
