Tamarind is a fruit that is popular in the foods of Southeast Asia, North Africa and India.
I have discovered a simple tea that brings tremendous relief to gallstone pain and is an all-around healthy drink to boot. Flaxseed Tea. All you have to do is get your hands on a bag of golden flax seeds from the healthfood store. I found adding a stick of cinnamon while it steeps adds a nice flavor.
Flax seeds have also been shown to slow prostate cancer, but which is healthier? Chi-chi-chi-chia, or flax? Well, there are three reasons why people eat flax: the cardioprotective omega-3s, the cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber, and the cancer-fighting lignans. Compared to chia seeds, flax has more omega-3s. But to my surprise, chia has significantly more fiber, which makes chia Obama very happy. Looks like lignans are going to be the decider.
