The Grain ~ Winter 2010

~Ellie's Corner~
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Enjoy your weekend! Even if you aren’t celebrating it the traditional way, you can still make the day one to love on your friends and family and remind them how much you love them. Don’t get too busy to take time to tell your loved ones that you care!

Is it possible to hibernate for an entire month? It seems that when it comes to updates, I have done just that and missed the month of January! :) This snowy winter is absolutely lovely; and yet, the freezing cold days make me happy that Valentines Day is almost here, because it means Spring is right around the corner!

What goals do you have this year towards healthy eating and healthy living? Don’t stop working toward them! Each day is a new day and a great time to start over towards your goals! Many of us are so busy that we don’t take time to eat healthy and exercise. If we don’t make time to eat healthy and exercise, our time will inevitably be taken from us later on when our bodies are tired, weak, and lacking nutrition. Choose to make time this month to add exercise to your days and to eat healthy –adding flax every day is an easy way to start! Save $ on flax for your health!

I really appreciate each of you and your support and encouragement! I am so happy to be working together as we all strive to eat healthier so that our lives will be fuller! Give your Valentine the gift of health!
Blessings on you and Happy Heart Day to each of you!

  Our Customer's FLAX Health Benefits ~in Their Own Words!! MILD DEPRESSION Improvements I’ve been using the Flakes O’ Gold for 6 mos and can feel a difference. I have had mild depression + it has helped with that. –Sincerely, C.C. SLEEPING BETTER AT NIGHT, MIND IS CLEARER I am amazed at how much better I am feeling by adding this Flax to my diet. It has totally wiped out all my hot flashes. The lignans were doing a pretty good job, but since I have been also taking the flaxseed they have disappeared. My mind seems clearer, I feel better and my trouble sleeping at night has improved immensely. Thank you again for blessing me. ~Liz B. SLEEPING BETTER + LESS ANXIETY I have been very pleased with the results I have had since taking the Flax Hull Lignans + the Flakes o Gold. I am sleeping so much better at night. I’m not experiencing the night sweats, the anxiety feelings that I had been having. I truly know that I feel better since I started taking your products. My husband takes it as well. I’m anxious to get the results from his blood work. We are definitely sold on the flax. Thanks! Monica S, IN Flax is so beneficial for our Brains -for balancing moods, helping us sleep, helping with ADD, etc. This is because of the Essential Omega 3 Fatty Acids. We are not getting enough in our processed + cooked diets (Omega 3 oils are denatured when food is processed). It is also very important to find out where our food is coming from ~Know Your Source!~ If we give our body the nutrition it so desperately needs, our bodies have a good chance of being able to start to heal! This is why I am so passionate about health and flax! Read other people's inspiring stories of the benefits of Flax seed.
