What is "Chia"?

"Chia" means strength. SALVIA HISPANICA L. is the botanical name.
It is an ancient grain that has been used by Aztec, Mayan and Incan people since 3500 BC.
It is mostly grown in Mexico, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala
and Australia.
Chia seeds were used by ancient cultures.
The Aztec Warriors would carry a sack of seeds and
a gourd of water for their daily journey for the entire day's worth of nutrition.
The Chia seed holds 9-14 times its weight in water, it helps with hydration.
Today,athletes use chia to keep their electrolytes up when perspiring
thus increasing endurance.

CHIA VS FLAX
Salvia Hispanica L. is FDA approved as food source like rice, wheat, oats, etc.
Unlike FLAX that is not FDA approved & illegal in some countries.
The US government regulates flax consumption to no more than 12% of your total caloric intake. Flax contains vitamin B interrupters that can cause malnutrition. Flax seed cyanogens convert into cyanide, a poison that can be life threatening. Omega 3 Chia is considered a whole food source and is not limited to how much can be consumed daily.

Diabetics would benefit from eating Chia because
it slows down sugar absorption in the blood stream.
CHIA PROVIDES ENERGY and BOOSTS STRENGTH

Athletes and body builders would benefit
When mixed with water or stomach fluids, the seeds create a gel. Thus, Chia slows the impact of sugars on the system if eaten with food. Chia gel creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down. This slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar. The energy from the food is released steadily. There is no insulin rush. Beneficial to diabetics. Increases endurance.
