Additionally, a 2010 study in The Journal of Nutrition suggests that Flaxseed may help reduce belly fat. The reason is flax’s potent nutrients: flaxseed contains the highest plant-based levels of omega-3s and phytoestrogens called lignans than any other food.

2. HEART: Linwoods heart healthy superfoods are low in saturated fat; contain no cholesterol and high in omega-3’s and fiber which all may help prevent high blood cholesterol. Today, heart disease is a leading health concern in America and affects people of all ages and backgrounds.[1] Dr. Frank Sacks, Professor of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health shares, “We need omega-3 fatty acids for numerous normal body functions, such as controlling blood clotting and building cell membranes in the brain, and since our bodies cannot make omega-3 fats, we must get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids are also associated with many health benefits, including protection against heart disease and possibly stroke.”[2]
3. SMART: Omega-3’s to promote maximum brain activity, and antioxidants to rid the body of free radicals and keep bodily systems working efficiently. Dr. Fernando Gómez-Pinilla, a UCLA professor of neurosurgery and physiological science who has spent years studying the effects of food, exercise and sleep on the brain shares that, "Omega-3 fatty acids support synaptic plasticity and seem to positively affect the expression of several molecules related to learning and memory that are found on synapses," Gómez-Pinilla said. "Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for normal brain function.”[3]

celebrates a new outstanding flavor:
I AM ADDICTED!!!!
TRY THEM ALL THOUGH – ALL AMAZING!
COFFEEFRUIT Meet Our Superfruit
You’ve probably met the inside of the coffeefruit, what your everyday cup o’joe is made from. But we’d like to introduce you to the outside – coffee’s superfruit. Can something made from coffeefruit taste refreshing? Yes, the name may say coffee but the flavor is pure, delicious fruit. Imagine supercharged antioxidant power swirling with fragrant, fresh tasting fruit – that's 100% natural, free-radical crushing bai and bai5.
You’re not the only one! It just so happens to be one of nature's best kept secrets. Previously, the bright, round cranberry-like fruit of the coffee plant was left behind after coffee harvesting, a valuable antioxidant resource discarded. Only recently was the casing that once nurtured and protected the coffee bean recognized for its health-enhancing properties. Now, from the coffee fields of Indonesia, bai brings the antioxidant benefits of coffeefruit directly to you.
For two decades I traveled to exotic regions around the world in search of the best-quality, green coffee available. It was on one of those trips, during a visit to Indonesia, that I stumbled upon something unexpected: coffeefruit, the casing that surrounds the coffee bean, is an antioxidant powerhouse. I've been determined to share the secret of coffeefruit ever since.
Back home I turned my family's kitchen into a makeshift lab for more than a year mixing coffeefruit and exotic fruit juices to create a great-tasting, healthful beverage. The result? An antioxidant-rich, refreshing line called bai. In August 2009 bai was founded. The name bai – the Mandarin word for "pure" – was chosen to represent the simple, natural goodness of a beverage dedicated to fostering great health.
At first bai was sold only in health food stores in Princeton, New Jersey where the antioxidant infusions were created. Word of mouth about its delicious, refreshing nature ensured bai would move into other areas quickly. Soon bai could be found in specialty stores and in major retail markets throughout the northeast and California. Within months of its founding bai had launched a second line of infusions, bai5, a low-sugar, 5-calorie beverage created in response to customer's interest in even more healthful options to sugary, high-calorie drinks. The first bai5 infusion, Sumatra Dragonfruit, became an instant best seller. – BEN WEISS – CEO & FOUNDER
Today, as bai continues to grow, one thing is clear: the secret of coffeefruit antioxidant power is finally out!

Underarm sweat is not only an embarrassing situation, but it is also expensive to manage. From over-the-counter antiperspirants to frequent dry cleaning to purchasing new tops to replacing sweat-stained clothes, people can spend thousands of dollars each year on hiding their condition.miraDry, a FDA-approved in-office procedure that uses non-invasive delivery of localized energy to the underarm to eliminate the sweat glands. Since sweat glands do not regenerate, results are lasting – a recent study published in the journal Dermatologic Surgery showed 90 percent efficacy, 90 percent patient satisfaction, and study subjects saw an 82 percent average sweat reduction at the 12-month check point.Typically, miraDry costs approximately $2,500 to $3,000 for two treatments, which in the long run can be a much more cost-effective option than other coping mechanisms and treatments.
