How to use flax seedWritten by Rudy Silva
You can eat whole flax seeds but you need to chew them good to break them up. Your stomach will not dissolve whole flax seeds and many of them will come out in your stools. Chew about a tablespoon in morning. Then drink 8 oz of water. Make sure if you chew flax seeds that you drink water since seed expand and become gelatinous.There are brown and golden colored flax seeds. The golden cost more but there is not difference in their nutritional value. You can grind them up in a grinder and add them to your smoothies. It is best not to use them in any cooking recipes. Heat destroys value of flax oil and makes it toxic. I don’t recommend you buy ground up flax seeds as found on websites or in health food stores. Once you grind your flax seeds, you need to use them in your drinks or food soon after grinding so they don’t lose their nutritive value. Even though Nutri Flax, ground up flax seed, is packaged so flax seeds don’t see light or oxygen, what happens when you open package? These flax seeds are going to be exposed to oxygen and light and as time passes they will become oxidized. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes in light and oxygen for ground up flax seeds to become oxidized and lose it nutritive value. So if you decided to use pre-grounded flax seed like it Nutri Flax, store it in your refrigerator immediately after it is opened and used to minimize its oxidation.

Hemorrhoids, in rectum, occur when veins are not returning enough blood back to heart. When this happens, vein walls do not receive enough oxygen and release a substance into blood that causes them swell and become inflamed. This swelling weakens them and their more likely to break when they are rubbed, like during a bowel movement.If your stools are hard, you have a higher chance of breaking a swelling vein. For this reason getting your stools softer is one step in clearing your hemorrhoids. You can do this by eating a diet and using remedies that help relieve constipation. Hemorrhoids, which are enlarged or swelling can exist, On inside just above muscle that closes anus and into to rectum. They are near surface of rectum mucus membrane On outside, they occur on skin that surround anus and protrude or hang outward. In a way, hemorrhoids can be considered varicose veins of rectum. Just like varicose veins in legs, rectum veins become enlarged and come to skin surface and bulge out. Hemorrhoids occur when you are constipated for long periods, sit for long hours, lift heavy items, or are pregnant. If you’re constipated, you’re probably having a difficult time having a bowel movement. And when you do, your stools are usually small, hard, and dry. If you have to push and strain or sit on toilet for 10-15 minutes, then expect to have hemorrhoids at some point. Two to three minutes is all you normally need to have a natural bowel movement.
