Why add freshly ground flax seeds to a MMP meal?
We have seen above that a MMP meal should include green leafy vegetables and some medium chain fats, such as coconut oil or butter. However, the body needs EFAs to function optimally and repairs the tissues. One of the most important such is omega3. Flax seed is high in omega3 and the seed covering preserves this EFA well, but the digestive system is not able to break this seed covering, so it is necessary to grind the seed or sprout it before consuming it. Once the seed is ground or sprouted, it should be kept in the dark and refrigerated until consumed, to preserve the delicate EFAs. In addition to being almost 1/3 fat, flax seed is also about 1/3 complex proteins. These can react in the digestive system to produce more of the amino-acid chelated minerals that our bodies have been deprived almost since birth. This then adds considerably to the effectiveness of the MMP remineralization program. Lastly, flax seed is almost 1/3 soluble fiber. This is a carbohydrate that is not metaboliz
