The health benefits of flax

You'll typically find ground flaxseed in the health foods aisle of your grocery store.

Omega-3 fatty acids: These good fats help protect against heart disease.

Lignans: Flax is high in these natural antioxidants.

Fiber: 2 tablespoons of flax contain as much fiber as 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal.
