Detox Daily With Flaxseed Tea
Health, Healthy Eating, Eat This
I get a lot of questions from people wondering what things they can do on a daily basis that will have an overall beneficial effect on their health. They may not be ready to make major changes in their lives, or more specifically their diets, but nonetheless are concerned about their health and want to start with small changes.In addition to recommending a mug of lemon and water in the morning as a quick way to alkalize and detoxify, I also tell people about flaxseed tea. These are a couple of the simplest and most effective habits you can cultivate for subtle health improvements. They aren't weight loss miracles or a way to cure diabetes, but they do make subtle changes that lead toward a positive state of health when combined with a clean diet and a healthy outlook.
Flaxseed tea is easy to prepare and has lot of health benefits. It's not the tastiest thing in the world, but the flavour is mild and inoffensive and it doesn't take long to cultivate a taste for it. Simply steep one teaspoon of ground flaxseeds in one cup of water (or two teaspoons in two cups). That's it. You can also add a little cinnamon for flavour and blood sugar regulation. Or, you can add ground flaxseeds to your existing favourite tea
