Health Matters: Hika Reid

Hika Reid, coach at Portadown Rugby Club, teamed up with Linwoods Superfoods last month to try out their range of foods for the active sportsman or sportswoman.

I’ve been taking Linwoods Milled Flaxseed now for 5-6 weeks and I do notice benefits particularly in my energy levels.

Years and years ago we used to take flaxseed to help with training, the Linwoods Flaxseed products come in a resealable packet with an excellent shelflife, plus they have added ingredients such as Goji Berry and Q10.

These superfoods are well known to improve health and can be seen to impact energy levels, and healthy skin. Infact every organ in the body benefits as I have experienced over the last 6 weeks since I have been taking the Linwoods flaxseed.

I have found it very palatable and tasty especially when taken with my morning cereal and porridge.

I have always taken my diet very seriously particularly when I was playing and I always tell my squad of players the benefits of a healthy diet. It makes sense to suggest that this will help performance on the rugby pitch and players always need an edge.

Therefore I would strongly recommend Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, with added superfoods as a welcome addition to any athletes diet and a great supplement to tired worn out ex rugby players such as myself.

Good health!
