Remarkable Benefits of Flax

 James from Tennessee, got a real wake-up call when he learned his cholesterol measured a scary 288 mg/dL. Instead of drugs, he decided to give flaxseed a try. He mixed ¼ cup of ground flaxseed in juice and drank it once a day, an hour before his main meal. After only 15 days, his cholesterol fell to 232, and six months later it plummeted to 188. His cholesterol wasn’t the only thing that dropped—during those six months he lost 33 pounds. James also noted remarkable improvements in his energy level, skin, hair, and vision. He commented, “I just feel better than I did 10 years ago.”
