was cultivated by the ancient Aztecs, and was honored as a "power
food." Chia is one of the best plant sources of beneficial Omega-3
oils, especially a-linolenic acid (ALA). Scientific Research on Omega-3
and other essential fatty acids (EFA) continues to prove that EFAs
support cardiovascular health, comfortable joint mobility, immune
system function and overall cellular energy. Chia is often stored for
long periods of time as a Survival Food, since it does not quickly turn
rancid like other sources of Essential Fatty Acids. Chia is high in
vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium and phosphorous. It
contains many antioxidants, including significant levels of caffeic
acids, quercetin and flavonols.
Chia is an excellent source of high
molecular weight soluble fiber, which supports healthy bowel function.
When Chia is mixed into a liquid, it forms a thick mass due to its high
content of beneficial mucilages. This slows the digestion of
carbohydrates in the digestive system, leading to a feeling of
fullness, and reduces the spike in blood sugar that often accompanies
the ingestion of carbohydrates.
