Use Flax seed oil instead of butter or margarine on everything from baked potatoes, veggies, bread dip, salads, even your morning toast.

Don’t use flax oil for cooking. Heat can turn these healthy fats into harmful ones. Add flax oil to foods after cooking and just before serving.

Flax has many virtues, but it also has one vice: it turns rancid quickly. Purchase only refrigerated flax oil stored in black containers and keep your flax oil in the refrigerator with the lid on tight.

Flax oil works best in the body when it’s taken along with antioxidants. Try a blueberry yogurt with a tablespoon of Flax oil.
