Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is definitely one of the foods we should look at seriously. But it should always be consumed in non-refined form. It has to be virgin oil extracted from the fruit without processing it with chemicals to give the health benefits.

WARNING: No food product alone is complete and sufficient to improve health. Health always involves diet, exercise, rest and a positive attitude. All the super-foods, no matter how much you eat them will always constitute only one part of the spectrum of health. 

Always have a variety of healthy foods and do not concentrate only on individual food items. But, some foods do have that extra edge over others and give the additional health boost that we all need in the present scenario.

Flax Seeds Bioavailability

 

If you are including flax seeds in your daily diet it is advisable to take a multivitamin multimineral tablet to improve the absorption of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which are the omega 3 that the body needs.

 

The body needs calcium, copper, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium and vitamins from the BComplex group for better conversion of ALA present in the flax seeds.

 

Eating and absorption are two different functions.

 

If the ALA is not converted then the flax seeds are just going down the body's drain; at most it will only improve your constipation.
