CHIA
CHIA (Salvia hispanica L) is a herbaceous plant of the family of the Lamiaceae. It is the richest vegetable source in Omega 3, dietary fiber, proteins and antioxidants and is suitable celiac given that is does not contain gluten.
CHIA seeds are available in two color varieties: black and white. Both containing the same properties and nutrients.
Chia is a whole food, since it contains all the components of grain: the bran, seed and endosperm. The increasing numbers of tests carried out constantly show that consuming whole foods leads to a better health. Investigations conducted also show the consumption of whole foods can help decrease the risk of becoming overweight and the risk of diseases related to diet, such as diabetes and heart diseases.
CHIA is one of the most complete natural foods, since it is essential for a healthy diet that includes Omega 3, dietary fiber and proteins, as well as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Because of this reason belongs to the category of SUPERFOODS.
BENEFITS OF CHIA
Supports Heart Health
Chia seeds can help reduce blood pressure. The seeds contain one of the highest known plant sources of essential fatty acids (omega*3 and omega*6). EFAs cannot be synthesized by our bodies however, it is very important that we get enough to support our immune, cardiovascular, nervous and reproductive systems. EFA deficiency is quite common in North America.
Stabilizes Blood Sugar
Chia seeds slow down the rate at which complex carbohydrates are digested and then assimilated into the body. The soluble fiber helps to stabilize blood glucose levels resulting in steady, sustained energy. In one study on diabetic patients, Dr. Vladamir Vuksan of St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto, found that blood was thinner and less prone to clotting and blood pressure of participants dropped significantly, after three months of taking Chia seeds daily.
Energizing
The word Chia comes from the Mayan language and means strength. Chia seeds are a balanced blend of protein, carbohydrates, fats and fiber. It is said that 1 tablespoon of Chia can sustain a person for *4 hours. Athletes have reported that Chia seeds help them perform at optimal levels for much longer periods of time.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
A number of arthritis sufferers have reported reduced pain and inflammation after a few weeks of taking Chia seeds. The high concentration of omega*3 helps to lubricate joints and keep them supple. Additionally, Omega*3s are converted into prostaglandins which are known to have both pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.
Weight Loss
The essential fatty acids contained in Chia seeds helps to boost
metabolism and promote lean muscle mass. The seeds are sometimes
added to food to provide bulk and nutrients while adding very few
calories. For these reasons, many people have found Chia quite
useful in weight loss and weight maintenance.
Detoxification and Elimination
Similar to psyllium, the swelling action of Chia in the body helps
to cleanse and soothe the colon, and absorb toxins while
lubricating and strengthening peristaltic action.
High Quality Protein
Chia seeds contain about *0% protein, a higher percentage than
found in many other grains such as wheat and rice. Chia seeds
contain strontium which helps to assimilate protein and produce
high energy.
Antioxidants
Chia seeds are an excellent source of antioxidants containing even
more antioxidants than fresh blueberries. The high amounts of
antioxidants in Chia seeds also keeps the oils from going rancid
contributing to a long shelf life.
Provides Fiber and Other Nutrients
Besides EFAs, Chia seeds also provide fiber, iron, calcium, niacin,
magnesium, zinc and phosphorus. 2 tablespoons of Chia = 7 grams of
fiber, 2 grams of protein, **5 milligrams of calcium, 5 grams
omega*3.
Brain Power
EFAs are known to make cell membranes more flexible and efficient
making nutrients more readily available and nerve transmission more
efficient. This helps to improve brain function (including memory
and concentration).
