Flax Seed Oil
Several scientific studies show that
consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) can benefit the heart. Flax
Seed Oil is a rich source of these EFAs. It also contains lignans—substances
known to stimulate immune activity—and linoleic acid, another essential fatty
acid. These two fatty acids are termed “essential” because the body cannot
manufacture them. EFAs are precursors to prostaglandins.
Until recently, experts believed the best sources of omega-3 were fish oils.
While fish oils are a good source, flax seed oil contains twice as much omega-3
essential fatty acids as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste. Each
softgel capsule contains omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids plus
lignans.
Benefits:
• Aids in the construction of healthy cell walls.
• Keeps saturated fats mobile in the bloodstream.
• Maintains already-normal stickiness of blood platelets

Another Point for Fiber
Fiber not only helps maintain healthy digestion, it
also may help keep your blood vessels from narrowing.
Increasing fiber intake from cereal and whole grains appeared to slow blood
vessel narrowing in a recent study. Narrowing blood vessels are commonly seen in
people who have atherosclerosis, a progressive condition that can lead to heart
attack or stroke. Add fiber-filled foods to your diet gradually to reduce the
risk of bloating and stomach upset. Real

New Olive Oil Health Discovery
Research shows that the beneficial effects of olive
oil may extend beyond cholesterol control.
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats such as olive oil can help reduce
cholesterol and keep the heart healthy. Now researchers have discovered that
fresh extra-virgin olive oil contains a compound that helps fight inflammation.

Healthy Tip

blender.
•Add 1 lb. of pure organic butter at room temperature.

Is Cleansing Month!
Today 60-70 million Americans suffer from
digestive diseases ranging from Crohn’s disease to acid indigestion, irritable
bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis, and more. Worse, colon cancer will claim
the lives of more than 50,000 people this year.
Are You At Risk For Digestive Disease?
The answer to that question is “of course” we all are. Consider the following:
• Colorectal cancers are the second largest cause of cancer deaths in the U. S.
• Women over 75 are more likely to die of colon cancer than breast cancer.
• Obesity increases your odds for colon cancer by 25-33%
• Only 25% of American eat the recommended 5+ daily servings of fruits and
vegetables, which are high in fiber, anti-oxidants, and promote colon health.
Minimizing your risk starts by understanding
risk. Take the Colon Health Assessment:
Do you have a family history of polyps or colon cancer?
If more than two generations in your family have been affected, at least three
members have suffered from the disease, and at least one was under 50, then your
risk is increased by 66%. You are high risk and need regular testing.
Do you consume red meat more than two times per week? Diets rich in
animal fats shoot up your risk of colon cancer. The American Cancer Society
recommends limiting red meats and instead choosing five servings of fruits and
vegetables, which are high in anti-oxidants and decrease disease-causing
inflammation. Other plant-sourced foods, including whole grains, brown rice,
beans, seeds, and nuts are great cancer-fighters.
Do you use tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs? Smokers are 30-40% more
likely to die of colon cancer than non-smokers. Colon cancer has also been
linked to alcohol consumption, potentially because alcohol inhibits folic acid
absorption.
Are you over age 50? More than 90% of individuals diagnosed with
colorectal cancer are over age 50. Much of that is not due to age alone, but
decades of constipation and poor diet finally yielding disease.
Are you overweight?
Overweight always heightens cancer risk, but especially weight that gathers in
your waist area. This fat has been proven to send chemical signals that trigger
inflammation, a know cause of cancer.
Do you have diabetes or a sedentary life-style? Colon cancer incidence is
50% higher in the diabetic population than in the non-diabetic world--and
unfortunately, so is cancer mortality.
Do you regularly have constipation or hardening of solid waste in your colon?
Infrequent elimination means that the bacteria and toxins in your waste stay in
your body longer. With regular constipation, those toxins can be reabsorbed into
your body and give rise to gases and unhealthy organisms or parasites.
Do you have bloating, gas, or excessive fullness after meals? Gas is a
strong warning sign that food isn’t being broken down properly, meaning you have
inadequate digestive enzymes or insufficient stomach acid.
Do you have pain in the lower esophagus with swallowing? Esophageal spasm
or “achalasia” is typical due to recurrent acid reflux from the stomach. Low
digestive enzymes and between-meal stomach acidity, as well as poor diet, are
leading causes of the disorder.
Do you have an “acid heartburn” feeling in your stomach, with or without
meals? This is a sign of stomach lining fragility, typically from persistent
acidity in the stomach between meals is a sign of digestive enzyme deficiency.
This imbalance is most often caused by overeating highly processed, refined
foods.
Does your stool “float” or appear greasy? This indicates a malabsorption
of fats. This is a key indicator that the lipase enzymes from the pancreas are
not digesting fats well.
Does your stool contain large pieces of undigested food? Again, this
symptom is consistent with inadequate enzymes and from eating too fast.
Do you ever have bloody or black-colored stool? Either of these is a
strong warning sign of a bleeding ulcer. Bloody stool indicates a duodenal
ulcer; black stool indicates a stomach ulcer. In both cases, unhealthy bacteria
are typically also present and must be treated.
Do you have painful bowel movements? This may be caused by rectal
inflammation, a fissure, or external hemorrhoid. Diseased rectal tissue can be
very painful and be a symptom of colitis and Chrohn’s disease.
Do you have lower intestinal cramping associated
with meals? This common symptom must not be ignored--indicates irritable
bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or at least the weakened
tissue that makes you susceptible to one of these diseases.
Do you get a runny or stuffy nose during or after meals? A classic sign
of food allergy. Your runny nose may be a outward sign of what is happening to
the tissues inside your body: intestinal lining, like your nasal passages, may
be swollen and irritated. Regular inflammation is highly damaging and may
prevent the absorption of nutrients.
For every “yes” answer you
provided, your risk for digestive disease rises. If you have several “yes”
answers, you are already showing symptoms of a disorder that may lead to even
more serious disease, including cancer.
Changing your diet and lifestyle is a great way to look to the future. But
first, you have to clean up the past. To ensure you get the most out of any
improvement plan, start with a colon cleanse to completely rid yourself of
toxins, waste and parasites.

Bee Pollen [Vital Nutrition], a
true gift from Mother Nature, contains many essential nutrients. As bees forage,
the pollen mixes with nectar and accumulates in yellow granules on the bees’
legs.
Pollen is an excellent nutritional supplement because of its strong nutritional
profile. It contains up to 35 percent complete protein, 22 amino acids, B
vitamins, 27 mineral salts, trace elements and several enzymes. Greeks called it
the “nectar of the gods.”
NSP Bee Pollen is naturally dried to preserve vital enzymes. Each capsule
contains 450 mg bee pollen.
Take 2 capsules with meals twice daily.
Add to nutritive drinks for energy and general nutrition. It has a balancing
effect on the nervous system. Add to oatmeal or sprinkle on desserts.
