Does anyone else eat ground flaxseed with food?

Question

Has it done anything positive to your body??? What do you sprinkle it on or eat it with?

Answer 1

The benefits to you're body are that it's an anti-oxidant and a fiber that is good for your elimination system. I buy granola, bread and pasta with flax seed. No, you won't be able to tell immediate results from the use of flax seed but it over all helps your body. Also (I have no idea how old you are) some people say that flax seed is good for women who are in menopause to help control their hot flashes.

Answer 2

Expand your horizons. Low fat milk products, rice and a lot of snack and nutrition bars are low in fat. Don't run from fat though. The body needs fat for absorption of a lot of vitamins and minerals. The body also needs it to burn properly. I have never cared for special diets geared for weight loss. Simply, if you burn more calories than you consume, you lose weight. I suggest eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. Drinking lots of liquids and eating more meals of smaller sizes. Never skip breakfast. If your body gets hungry, it burns differently, saving calories for later because it's not sure when it will be filled again. By eating breakfast and eating more meals, there is always fuel in the tank and the body will burn more efficiently. And any weight training you do, just push ups or sit ups, the body burns at a higher rate all day, compared to the calories spent running or walking. Walk, take stairs, anything to burn extra calories also helps.

Answer 3

I like to eat food with flax seeds in them because it's soothing to the digestive system, which is my Achilles Heel. Most things that create slime are soothing on tummies like okra and plantain leaves (the weed not the banana).
