Our ancestors sure knew a thing or two about a thing or two,
didn’t they? It seems that every time we make a health “discovery”, the
ancients were already there centuries ahead of us.
Take the flaxseed, for example. People are now calling this
tiny seed one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. And scientific
findings are telling us that the Omega-3 fatty acids, lignans and fiber found
in flaxseed protect our bodies against cancer, cardiovascular disease,
diabetes, inflammation and hot flashes. But, even as early as 3,000 BC, the
Babylonians were cultivating flaxseeds for their health benefits.
So, it’s true
now as ever – everything old is new again.
