CHIA

This organic Herb/Seed is available NOW to order.

Chia is the super food of many ancient societies with a protein content higher than grains and more complete, meaning it has the appropriate balance of all essential amino acids. It is high in tryglycerides, calcium, boron, vitamins A, B, C and E and anti-oxidants. Native Americans often called it "Running Food" because of its ability to toughen endurance. This may also benefit diabetes patients. The seed has the ability to absorb 12 times its weight in water which helps retain and regulated nutrient absorption and conservation of electrolytes. It may also be used as a "calorie displacer" fat replacer or food extender without altering or diluting taste.

General information: Chia Seed is loaded in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, C and vitamin E, as well as minerals and enzymes. The fresh crunch they add to your salads and sandwiches is great! Chia seed can also be roasted and ground, or mixed with corn and cooked in water to make a thick drink called atole that is flavored with honey, chilies, or pimento. It is mixed with water and flavored with limejuice to make a drink that is called 'chia fresca' in modern-day Mexico. It is said that one-tablespoon can sustain a person for 24 hours. Chia was the basic survival ration of Aztec warriors.

Chia is an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber that can absorb sterols. When mixed with oats, the amino acid profile balances out, offering TWICE as much protein as other grains. The fiber aids in intestinal healing and absorption of nutrients. Chia's water-soluble fibers, mucilage, cause it to form a gelatin when immersed in water for 30 minutes. Researchers believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing of sugar conversion aids endurance.

Fatigue is a common complaint of thyroid patients - chia seed as a food-based energy builder can be the answer.

Chia seed swells from seven to nine times in the stomach, thereby having the potential to help those trying to lose weight.

Overweight individuals with type II diabetes as well as those with low blood sugar can be helped by this food.

There is also good indicators of a link chia seeds have in the prevention or slowing of cancer development.

Note: This is pure/natural Chia - It is commonly used as a food supplement without any negative side effects. As with any herb or health issue, it is advised that your physician be made aware of your intention of using it.
