What if a simple seed could hold the fountain of youth? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Today’s tip is all about an ancient seed that can hold promise in preventing heart disease, cancer, and even diabetes. I’m talking about Flax Seed. Believe it or not, in 600 BC a king once ordered all his subjects to consume flax seed every day in order to stay healthy. I wonder what that king would say now if he could see all the new foods that have been fortified with flax seed. Have you seen the eggs that say fortified with Omega 3? The farmers have actually fed the chickens a diet rich in flax seed. The best thing about adding flax seed to your diet is that it’s easy to do, just sprinkle it over your yogurt or in your cereal each morning and start your day off right.
