Beans Beans Good For the Heart

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Do you remember that little song from grade school? We all have sang it at least once in our lives. I will tell you that I am not a big fan of beans. I like them when they are mixed with something but to just eat beans by themselves I almost can not stand the sight of them. My wife on the other hand can eat them alone. For me I know they are healthy for me so I force myself to power through. Yesterday my mother in law made some and I cringed at the thought of having to eat them but I will admit that what I had today was not that bad. I guess all beans aren’t bad.

Flax seed meal & EFA’s – good enough source?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

The thing with whole flax seed is that you cannot break it down in your digestive system and so it just passes straight through you essentially unchanged. You need to consume flax seed meal (also known as ground flax seed) if you want to obtain the great source of essential fatty acids; primarily the omega 3 family of oils called alpha linolenic acid.

So now you have allowed your body to access these oils but are you still getting enough? Well it is accepted that eating and supplementing fish oils provides more of the needed essential fatty acids. It is simply harder to process the omega 3 oil from flax seed meal and so you simply need to consume more of it in the first place. If this is difficult then maybe supplementation may be for you to be sure you get enough

High Quality Lazy Susan

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I just bought myself on of these Lazy Susans and I love it! I never realized how convenient it is to have one that works so well! I got myself the walnut/tiger maple and it looks so nice in my kitchen. Even more so than I would have thought. My Lazy Susan isn’t like others either because it was built with high quality equipment so it turns as if it’s on silk! I just love how mine combines the light and the dark and it adds so much to the look and makes a beautiful statement! I only wish I had gotten it sooner!
