Flax seed oil is great - I think its full of EFA's
Are you tall? I was wondering because of the lower back pain you mentioned. I think tall people tend to have dodgy backs, my family are all tall and have aching backs at some point.
Another thing to consider taking for joints and stuff is Apple cider vinegar - that stuff is pretty amazing for being all round fantastic for your body.

We all ordered our food, they hardly touched it, we boxed the rest of ours up, the waiter asked if they'd like to take theirs home too, they said no & left it. You couldn’t even tell it had been touched! My guess is that they had never had Indian food before or thought it was something else!!!

yes flax seed oil has omega 3 which is natural fatty acids that your body cannot make. I know that fish is high in omega 3 but I can't stand the taste of fish and I have read that fish oil tabs gives you fish burps
![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Also the drop in body weight, I definitely feel more agile, but I have to keep on eye on body fat, if I drop to low, I feel all achy again, so its a very fine science.

so I opted for flax seed...so far so good.

I think body weight as a lot to do with it I try to stick to around 120lbs.
