How to Aid Digestion Naturally

Flaxseed oil is the greatest invention since sliced bread. As cliche as it sounds, this gem of a pill strengthens nails, hair and even aids digestion! With the increasing amount of preservatives in our food and the lack of omega 3 fatty acids, this natural supplement will smooth out the kinks in your digestive tract.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Flaxseed oil, in pill form (gel tablet), oil (to sprinkle on salads) or ground flax (great to top on cereal)
• Olive Oil
• Salmon (or omega-filled fish)

Digest Naturally

1. Purchase flaxseed oil in tablet form at health food stores. You may choose tablets, oil that will need refrigeration, or ground flax.

2. Follow directions on the bottle. It is suggested to take one flaxseed tablet with every meal, but you may want to start once a day to see how your body reacts.

3. Eat foods that are filled with omega 3, such as salmon and walnuts.

4. Use olive oil when cooking or as a dressing on your salad.

5. Notice the difference in your digestion (and your skin, hair and nails!).

Tips & Warnings

• Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breast feeding before taking flaxseed.
