Nutritional Choice of the Month - May 2007: Flaxseed

As you learned in my January, 2007 (http://pcconditioning.com/
archive_nutrition/nutrition_jan07.php
) nutritional choice of the month, fat is something that must play a major role in our daily nutritional patterns.  The RIGHT types of fats (unsaturated- specifically monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) are both HEALTHY and NECESSARY.  A great source of this type of fat is flaxseed, or its derivative, flaxseed oil.  Rich in heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids, whole and ground flaxseeds, as well as flaxseed oil, are available throughout the year.
