Flax Seed—flax is the worlds richest plant source of Omega
3 fatty acids.
Current nutrition research continues to identify various substances in foods that
appear to act as protectors against chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease
and cancer. Flaxseed, a popular food ingredient in Europe and Canada, is no exception.
The reasons are many:
* Several studies confirm that flaxseed can be a cholesterol lowering agent
like oat bran, fruit pectin and other food ingredients that contain soluble fiber.
By packaging both omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber together, flaxseed presents
two ingredients that favor healthy blood lipid patterns.
* Flaxseed contains healthy amounts of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Scientists at the American National Cancer Institute singled out flaxseed as one
of six foods that deserved special study. The reason: flaxseed shows potential cancer
fighting ability. Flaxseed is one of the richest sources of lignans, a type of phytoestrogen
which may protect against cancer, particularly hormone sensitive cancers such as
those of the breast and prostate.
Organic Figs—figs are significantly higher in calcium than
other dried fruit, and are also higher in phosphorus. The calcium to phosphorus
ratio is ideal for proper absorption of both minerals, making figs one of natures
best food for bone building and body maintenance. Figs also contain compounds with
anti cancer activity, specifically benzaldehyde and the coumarins.
Organic Agave Nectar—Agave nectar comes from a cactus, with
a very low glycemic index, meaning it does not significantly raise blood sugar levels.
It is unprocessed and therefore provides vitamins and minerals not found in processed
sweeteners. Because of the low glycemic index it is very acceptable for people with
Diabetes and Hyperglycemia.
Organic Dried Fruits—Dried fruits contain Boron, contributing
to healthy bones and also helping to prevent osteoporosis by facilitating metabolism
of calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and magnesium.
Organic Soy Flour & Soy Nuts—Soy has numerous health promoting
benefits besides being a naturally high antioxidant. Soy helps to produce estrogen,
lower cholesterol, shows promise against certain cancers and helps reduce heart
disease to name a few.
Soy Isoflavones: Research shows they help lower total cholesterol,
preserve bone density, & alleviate intensity of hot flashes. Isoflavones slow down
the creation of new blood vessels that are required for tumor growth. To date over
100 studies world wide have demonstrated when Genistein is added to cells in laboratory
dishes or vials, it dramatically inhibits the growth of many different kinds of
cancer cells and interrupts the spread of breast, colon, lung, and prostate tumor
cells as well as leukemia cells.
Organic Nuts—nuts contain a number of compounds that may help
prevent heart disease and cancer. Nuts are high in heart healthy fat helping to
prevent clogged arteries. Nuts also contain generous amounts of heart healthy copper
and magnesium. Nuts contain powerful antioxidants, helping to detoxify potential
cancer causing substances. Nuts are a good source of fiber, protein, vitamins and
minerals.
Fiber—Diets rich in fiber help reduce the risk of some cancers.
High fiber diets can help you lose weight by slowing sugar absorption, smoothing
out blood sugar levels, reducing hunger, decreasing digestive problems, and enhancing
energy flow
