What are the lower bowel benefits of Flax Seed?
Ground flax seed is very mucilaginous. Therefore it absorbs massive quantities of liquid. This bulk, once consumed is very beneficial to the lower bowel or intestine. It makes a person’s bowel movements regular, and keeps toxins from accumulating in a sluggish bowel. It is very important to add the ground flax to a liquid (i.e. juice or a smoothie) rather than a solid and/or drink several glasses of water after consumption. 5. Flax Seed Analysis for 100 grams!
