1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
🥣 How to Prepare
- Heat water until warm (not boiling).
- Add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed.

🌿 Benefits
✔ Helps cleanse the intestines
Flaxseed contains soluble fiber that forms a gel helping stool move more easily.
✔ Reduces bloating & constipation
It increases stool bulk and improves bowel movement.
✔ Supports cholesterol reduction
The soluble fiber can help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
✔ Keeps you full longer
Helps with appetite control and belly bloating.
⚠ Important Notes
Always drink enough water during the day when consuming flaxseed.
Start with 1 teaspoon per day if you’re new to fiber.
