So far, I think most of you have picked up on the fact that what you eat effects your skin immensely. The legend “you are what you eat” doesn’t have 100% factuality, but it is certainly a great guideline for healthy skin. Todays item of choice for great skin through diet, is Sprouted Flax Powder. This superfood is loaded with essential vitamins and minerals the body- and skin cells- need for healthy functioning.
Why Sprouted Flax Powder instead of regular? Regular flax seeds are difficult to digest and its nutrients are not absorbed well by the body. Sprouting is the germination process used in the production of the seed. This particular process makes the nutrients of the flax seed more bioavailable, leading to better absorption of those essential vitamins and minerals.
Let’s go through some reasons why adding Sprouted Flax Powder to your diet can save your skin! First off, I’ve talked before about the importance of the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. This powerful little seed is a GREAT source of these essential fatty acids and will help to strengthen the skin as well as lock in moisture to keep the skin hydrated. Sprouted Flax Powder is also a solid source of protein. Not only is protein needed by the body to build strong bones and muscles, but it also helps build strong skin cells as well, which will keep your skin strong and healthy for a youthful appearance. Vitamins and minerals are abundant in this superfood to keep your skin nourished and functioning properly.
Sprouted Flax Powder can be used alone as a nutritional supplement or added into a variety of food items. My personal favorite item to add them to is oatmeal cookies! (Specifically, mom’s oatmeal cookies!) You can also add to pasta, bread, or other baked desserts. You can also use it as a flour substitute to make your baked goods even healthier! Sprouted Flax Powderis available at Whole Foods Market for $7.99 for an 8oz bag.
