What is Certified Organic Golden Flax?
Certified Organic describes a process of food production that avoids the use of synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, chemical growth regulators/hormones and antibiotics. Organic Production is based on a system of farming that uses production methods that minimize the impact on the environment. The primary focus is to maintain a healthy soil and develop a balanced farm ecosystem that is environmentally sustainable. Certified Organic means that a product has been produced in accordance with specific guidelines and organic standards, as established by a certifying agency. Our Certified Organic Golden Flax meets all of these requirements.
Certified Organic Golden Flax
Certified Organic Golden Flax is one of the richest sources of valuable omega-3 fatty acids, 48% of its fat being omega-3's, the equivalent of 3.3 pounds of Chum salmon based on a 50 Gram per day of Certified Organic Golden Flax....it is extremely high in nutritional value. Certified Organic Golden Flax has the natural properties of fiber, lignans, and omega-3 fatty acids that provide preventative and restorative abilities to your health. This little seed can help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and assists with healthy weight management. Let's call it a proactive measure that you can do for yourself to help prevent chronic illnesses and health problems.
Two tablespoons of Certified Organic Golden Flax stirred into a glass of boiling water will thicken up quickly and have the consistency of a pudding. To use flax as a laxative, drink the mixture before it thickens…the thickening will occur in the stomach. The unbroken flaxseed, protected by the shell, will pass through the digestive system without breaking down.
For a person's body to digest Certified Organic Golden Flax and benefit from its many nutritional qualities, including the oils, the shell or hull must be broken. Just 1/8 to 1/4 cup of Certified Organic Golden Flax freshly ground (in a coffee grinder) can aid in your overall health regime. Add the ground mix to cereals or mix it with juices (my favorite way) to start the healthy process.
The mucilage formed by Certified Organic Golden Flax can serve another important purpose: the repair of damage caused by taking massive doses of antibiotics. The friendly bacteria in a person's intestines are destroyed in large quantities if he or she takes antibiotics, birth control pills, or other drugs, especially for a prolonged period. Chronic constipation may develop. Certified Organic Golden Flax mucilage assists intestinal flora in re-establishing itself.
Unfortunately, Americans on the average ingest only about 5 to 20 grams of fiber daily, short of the 20 to 35 grams recommended by the American Dietetic Association. Scientists have found that both the soluble and insoluble types of fiber in Certified Organic Golden Flax are beneficial. Two-thirds of the fiber in Certified Organic Golden Flax is insoluble, consisting of cellulose and lignin. This fiber cleans out the intestines, reducing bowel transit time, therefore helping a person to avoid constipation. The other one-third (soluble) plays an important role in reducing serum cholesterol levels and helps to regulate blood glucose levels. This is especially good news for persons afflicted with diabetes.
Both children and adults eat too many refined and processed foods in which the natural fiber is removed. A low-fiber diet also plays a key role in constipation among older adults. They often lack interest in eating and may choose fast foods low in fiber. In addition, loss of teeth may force older people to eat soft foods that are processed and low in fiber.
Best of all, our Golden Flax is Certified Organic. Do your body a favor and treat it to some Certified Organic Golden Flax on a regular basis!
