Fast Facts about Flaxseed Oil...
Flaxseed oil is a
vegetarian source of omega 3, an essential fatty acid that the body can not make
itself.
It is beneficial for
many things including; cardiovascular health, helping to lower cholesterol,
improving memory, nourishing the skin (so it's great for eczema and any skin
complaint). Flaxseed oil also helps hormonal production - so can aid symptoms of PMT. AND, it's also a
natural anti-inflammatory so excellent for any aches and pains including
arthritis.
The dressing
is delicious on
salads, or even on steamed vegetables.
