Flaxseed
Hi All,
I am sure that most if not all of you already know this:
But today on the Oprah show she had Dr. Oz on and he says
that when eating flaxseed you have to grind it in order to get
the Omega 3 in it. If you use it whole you do not derive any benefit.
He says we cannot chew the seeds enough to gain the benefit.
I am sure you are all grinding your flaxseed before using it, but
I thought I would share this little tid bit.
He also said we are deficent in Vit. D. Get about 10 min. of sun exposure each day or take 1,000 units of Vit.D. He did not mention Vit. D3...just
Vit. D...
That's All Folks,
Jean
