Dr. Frank Sacks, Professor of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health shares, “We need omega-3 fatty acids for numerous normal body functions, such as controlling blood clotting and building cell membranes in the brain, and since our bodies cannot make omega-3 fats, we must get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids are also associated with many health benefits, including protection against heart disease and possibly stroke." I really enjoy Linwoods' Delicious Omega3-rich Flaxseed Superfood Blends and put them in my breakfast cereal or tea, especially the Ground Flaxseed, Cocoa, Strawberries & Blueberries Blend. A Vegetarian Quinoa Recipe courtesy of Linwoods using their Flaxseed with Goji Berries Blend is here for your reference. Enjoy! :) Need more Omega 3's and Fiber?
