Mindy: Great nutritional information, you have a lot of expertise. Let me put in a plug for vigorous excercise as well because it is the other half of the fitness/health picture.
Mindy:
Have you ever tried juicing? We do alot of that and i'll tell ya it's all fresh and is power packed with vitamins.......? I love yogurt and eat it just about everyday.
Mindy:
We do the same mixing veggies and fruits.I did tomatoes this past Summer and to my surprise the juice was pink.Just goes to show ya all the coloring and etc they put in our food.
Flax Seed! I put it in everyting! Grind it up and put it on salads, sprinkle over any meat, put in scrambled eggs, cook in muffins, pancakes, etc! (Also excellent for babies over 8 months! I put it in her baby food!)
Extremely healthy and it tastes good! "Flaxseed is more than just nutritious -- health experts believe the seed can actually help prevent heart disease and many types of cancer."
BIG BAD WOLF: Yep! My baby's bithday cake was made with flax seed, applesauce, pineapple, and carrots....very, very tasty! Of course, the icing was mostly sugar and that is what she ate! The rest of us ate the yummy cake!
Mindy: Baking it into your food is the best way to sneak it into your family's food if they are picky. Luckily my family likes it....they will eat it on anything now. If you do an internet search, you will find many receipes that use flax seed.
For all....make sure you grind up the flax seed first. That is the only way you get the nutrients.
ScarletRose:
Oh i love those seeds i just suck them up. I planted a couple in a pot waiting to see what happens.That juice comes with added juices like Mango or Blueberry really good for ya.I have a site i posted on here,i can post it again.
Im gonna try what SueQ does & cook it in my food..I just bought a bag of flaxseed yesterday while I was in town
All this time Ive been taking the pill form & the oil,but never knew about cooking the ground seeds in with my food...woohoo!
MindyDaBrat: I recommend protein to help repair tissue after anerobic exercise but as an energy source it is inferior to complex carbs. Any unused protein the body excretes or stores as fat. Even so I used to gulp tons of protein shakes. LOL.
ScarletRose:
Yes around Thanksgiving you see the fruit,but can still get the juice.Here's the site and it even tells where to buy the juice in any area .

Oh those seeds can real dye your hands.They also can be a bit on the bitter side.I'm going to be posting on Recipes the Easter Casatta thats Italian cheesecake only made at Easter.
Paula in UK was just telling me about the illegal food dye Sudan 1 that has cancer causing agents and is in many foods in the UK (being banned). I checked out the Canadain gov site and there are 7 products that made it here that have the dye in them and are being banned as well. Check your local gov sites to makes sure some of the foods you are eating doesnt have that illegal dye in them.. It is found in chili powders, package noodles, worchestershire sauce and a few other foods..
Rose:
I heard something similar to that fact.In the Pomegrantes the dye is the juice in the seeds when you eat them.Is that what you meant? I know i don't buy Hi-C juice anymore it's full of dye it turned a white juice cup red.
