Flax UP for the Fourth of July

Move over Mary’s Gone Crackers!  There’s a new gluten-free cracker in town that’s made its debut and is just as crispy and satisfying as the best of them!

My Flax Snackers are a perfect nutritious and delicious starter for this weekend’s Fourth of July Celebration and are full of Omega-3 fiber from flax seeds. Flax seeds are uniquely satisfying and healthy because they supply lignans.

Lignans—which are 800 times more concentrated in flax seeds than in any other plant—are well recognized as mini miracle workers. They not only kill viruses but they also help to knock out type 2 diabetes, lower LDL cholesterol, and help to reverse atherosclerosis.

According to the Health Sciences Institute, researchers have found an 82% decrease in the spread of metastatic lung tumors, a 71% reduction in the protein that causes aggressive cancer growth, and a 31% increase in cancer cell death in just 30 days among people regularly consuming concentrated flax hull lignans.

While there are many different types of lignans, the most researched is an enterolactone type lignan that is also known as SDG (secoisolariciresinol diglucoside). SDG helps to inhibit the formation of blood vessels that tumors form in order to keep the cancer alive.

In just two heaping tablespoons of Cold Milled Flax Seeds from Omega Nutrition, you’ll be getting 350 mg of this super potent SDG lignan—one of the highest I’ve found anywhere.

In addition, you’ll be benefiting from 10 grams of soluble fiber to stabilize your blood sugar and reduce the amount of carbohydrates absorbed by our bodies for effortless weight loss—so helpful during holiday weekends like this one.

 

Here’s a tasty way to jump on the flax track starting this weekend:
