This weekend Jill came to visit. We stopped by GNC and encountered a very talkative clerk who shared his wisdom about all things health. Needless to say, Jill and I left with several bottles of healthy living "essentials" including flax seed oil.
I've always heard that flaxseed oil is "good for you". This article talks about the benefits and ways to include it in your diet. Here are the highlights:
I've always heard that flaxseed oil is "good for you". This article talks about the benefits and ways to include it in your diet. Here are the highlights:
- Flax promotes colon health
- Flax fat can be slimming
- Flax promotes cardiovascular health
- Flax provides fats that are precursors for brain building
- Flax may lessen the severity of diabetes by stabilizing blood-sugar levels
- Flax promotes healthy skin.
- Flax supplements can boost immunity
WW also recommends including 2 tsps of health oils daily, so I'm going to try to flax. I bought the oil and the pills. I'll let you know if notice any differences.

Cool, thanks for sharing this info. I've tried the oil off and on but didn't know about all these benefits. Anything that can decrease cravings for "fatty foods and sweets" is good! Did you discover any other products at the GNC? Oh, and did you and Jill make it to a restaurant in the city?
I like their women's ultra mega vitamin. I also like the EAS Myoplex protein shakes - great for busy times and you need something to fill you up. There are is also some products for if you're a hard core workerouter but I just got the flax and the vitamins.
Thanks again for the info found a great restaurant on yelp called Mezza luna. Restaurant/lounge. Good food and the DJ was excellent - mix of 80's, reggae and even a little JT (i'm partial). Looks like an after work hangout for 30somethings.
Ginger, thanks so much for yelp.com. Mezza Luna is definitely a place to go again.
