You've
heard that some fats are good for you. Unfortunately, the fats
in bars of chocolate aren't the ones you should eat twice a
day, although we all know that chocolate does have its benefits.
If you are concerned with breast health, one of the best foods
you can introduce into your daily diet is flax seed. It's easy
to get at your local health food store, and it's even easier
to use. To ensure that you are getting your daily dose of health,
grind up fresh flax seeds in a clean coffee grinder and sprinkle
on your cereal or oatmeal each morning.
Higher
in Omega-3 fatty acids (the good fats) than any other plant
source, flax seeds are cancer-protective. These smooth, shiny
seeds contain 100 times more of something called lignans, which
kill tumor cells. Flax seeds are capable of performing many
healing actions inside our bodies. They have potent anti-inflammatory
effects, they are known to shrink breast tumors and they prevent
cancer metastasis. Flax seeds also block the cancer-promoting
estrogens and give the good types of protective estrogens help.
These miracle
seeds also make the breast tissue entirely more capable of fighting
off toxins that can do them damage. Toxins come from our foods
and polluted environments. Women who consume flax seeds as a
regular part of their diet are helping to protect their own
breast health against these damaging poisons. In addition, the
lignans decrease three different factors that speed up the growth
of breast cancer cells.
Are you
convinced yet? Another good reason to include flax seeds in
your daily diet is that this food is high in fiber. High fiber
foods help cleanse toxins from your body. That results in shiny
hair, prettier skin, and smooth nails. Flax seeds also help
to remove excess estrogen from our systems. Women who eat a
high fiber diet have a decreased risk of breast cancer.
One more
thing about flax seeds, and you're going to love this one. It
helps us maintain a healthy body weight. By slowing down the
absorption of those unhealthy fats and sugars, flax seeds help
promote our ideal weight. These seeds are one of the finest
foods you can add to your diet. Go ahead, sprinkle some on your
cereal and your salad. They taste pleasant and they'll be helping
you look and feel your very best. |
