Flax Seeds

Flax contains essential fatty acids, fibers and lignans that can improve your health right now, and they just might prevent diseases like some cancers. Buy the flax seeds whole and grind up a teaspoon of flax seeds in a coffee grinder every day. Add the seeds to salads, soups, or in healthy baked goods like muffins. You may increase the amount of flax seeds you eat every day gradually up to one tablespoon.
