Fiber is very imperative to our diets. The average American only gets 8.75 grams of fiber intake a day. To prevent colon cancer, breast cancer, and heart disease you need between 25-30 grams a day. Just 1/4 cup* of flax flour to your diet a day. One cup of Bran Flakes has only 6.4 grams. One cup of cooked black beans has only 7.2 grams. One cup of raspberries has 9 grams. Flax has the highest content of fiber than any other food.

Flax is a rich source of Omega-3's. Doctor’s minimal daily recommendation for Omega-3 is 1000 mg per day. 1/4 cup of flax flour has 9000 mg of Omega -3. Omega -3 can not be manufactured by the body and must be supplied daily in the diet. There is 50 grams of omega-3 in flax flour, the equivalent of 3.3 pounds of salmon!

Omega 3 lowers high blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Omega 3 also lowers blood pressure substantially. A diabetic’s insulin requirements can be lowered with the use of Omega- 3. Omega-3 can decrease blood clots or the probability of ever getting blood clots. The omega-3 is essential for sperm formulation, brain development, visual function and adrenal function.

Flax is high in lignans, which have anti-tumor proprieties.

Are you sold on the benefits of flax yet?

No? I’ll give you a few more facts on flax. Premenstrual syndrome can be relieved with the daily use of 1/4 cup of flax. Using flax can relieve asthma symptoms. Flax has a calming effect on stress. Oh dear, pass me the flax flour quick! Omega-3 has been used to treat and prevent arthritis.

Flax is a rich source of essential fatty acids, is a high quality protein, has both insoluble and soluble fiber, contains lignans, and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

Now that you see what incredible benefits flax has. Now I’ll let you know how to use these benefits.

Flax is an interesting little seed. It has a very hard shell. The flaxseed has a shelf life of 5000 to 9000 years. To release the benefits of the flax seed it must be ground. Grinding the flaxseed releases the inner phytonutrients. Once the flaxseed is ground it becomes perishable and has a very short shelf life. The flour should be frozen or refrigerated.

Flax flour can be bought. But it is much cheaper to grind your own. Flax flour is most nutritious when it is first ground. Until recently I have used a coffee grinder to grind my flaxseeds. But the coffee grind overheats the flour and oxidizes the flaxseeds. The solution to my problem is the Nutritionist Flax Seed Mill.



Nutritionist Daily Dose Flax Seed Mill FX5 is one great little machine. Most mills are very costly. I have found the Nutritionist seed mill at several sources all selling from $29.95 to $34.95. Right this very minute this seed mill can be purchased at
http://www.salton-maxim.com/salton/product.asp?pf_id=FX5&dept_id=19001&Store=18,
for only $19.99. Salton also donates part of this to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The Flax Seed Mill is light and extremely easy to operate. It weights only 2 pounds. It has a removable storage changer. An adjustment knob (rotary switch) will allow you to set the grind that you want. You have a choice of grind between coarse, medium and fine.

I like to be able to grind different size grinds. I can adjust it to fine and mix it in with other flours to make bread. I can adjust it to coarse and sprinkle the flax on top of salads. The coarse grind is also great sprinkled on top of soup. Flax tastes good and can be used in so many different ways. I will also just mix a 1/4-cup of flax flour a day into juice, my favorite being red grapefruit juice. The mill will come with a booklet with several different serving ideas. It comes with a one year warranty.

The chamber holding capacity is 4 ounces of flaxseed that is ready to be milled. I found the Flax Mill to be a great multi use machine. I have also ground corn, rice nuts, spices, herbs, rye seed, several different seeds, and herbs. The flax mill isn’t anywhere as noisy as my coffer grinder is. My coffee grinder can wake up the dead! It is also a very handsome machine and looks nice on the counter top. I keep mine in full view so I never forget my daily dose of flax!
