Ground Flax Seeds – Do a body good

flaxseedstatAdding flax seeds to your daily nutrition plan is an easy way to improve your diet.  Use them as an added recovery tool in your smoothies.  Throw some on your cereal or in your oatmeal; top off your salads and pasta sauces.  Use them when baking muffins. Even down a glass with warm water or orange juice(gag).

Look at that nutritional information.  Granted that’s for 100 grams, but you get a significant dose of protein with all the other good stuff like thiamin and magnesium…and it’s not processed like all shoddy whey protein is.  These things are stacked with Omega 3 oils, plenty of really good fat.  All in all they can only do you good.

You have to grind them up in order to fully digest all the good stuff.  Your cheapest and most effective way to do this is to get bulk flax seeds and use a hand held coffee grinder.  Over the long term, it works out far cheaper than buying the pre-ground stuff and you never have to worry about the oils going rancid.

This stuff is GOLDEN…and cheap.  Your triathlon training and racing will thank you!
