The ground flaxseed in this mix attacks bad (LDL) cholesterol with fiber (6 grams per 1/4 cup) and lots of omega-3 fatty acids. Every gram or two of soluble fiber you eat each day lowers your ldl by about 1 percent, and omega-3s lower heart-attack risk by more than 50 percent. (Ground flaxseed is sold in health-food stores and some supermarkets.) This shake will also supply nearly half your rda of potassium, which helps prevent high blood pressure.
