Chia, lo último en super alimentos

Chia is the Ultimate Superfood

In the pecking order of super-foods, you've got to earn respect. Salmon has done that. So have spinach and blueberries. But there's another food making the rounds for its numerous health benefits that, quite frankly, may soon be at the top of that list.
The food is chia. And in the pantheon of super-foods, it's a stud.
What's a super-food? Think of foods that are loaded with phytonutrients, including antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, essential vitamins and minerals. Also, any super-food worth its weight should be a good source of protein, healthy fats or fiber.

About Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed

Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed is an unrivalled source of all three. In fact, it's packed with enough nutrients to have extensive and far-reaching health benefits for those from all walks of life and degrees of health. Benefits include:

• more energy

Think of Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed as a high-octane fuel for your body – the kind that will transform it from a Pinto to a Ferrari.
Granted, the term "super-food" is reaching pretty high, and any food that claims to wear that title needs some serious nutrients to back it up. Let's break Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed down further and evaluate if it's good enough for that lofty title.

Nutritional Breakdown

Chia is 16% protein, 31% fat and 44% carbohydrate. The latter is 38% fiber (both soluble and insoluble), and most of the fat content is the heart-healthy essential omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). And as a complete vegetable protein with nine essential amino acids, you've got enough protein for a health-boosting, low cholesterol snack or meal.
Getting back to that fiber, two tablespoons of chia packs over 42.5% of your daily recommended fiber intake and three to four times what you'll find in a competing dietary supplement. Considering that most Americans get less that half of their recommended fiber each day, chia's a fast and convenient way to boost your fiber intake and minimize digestive problems.
In ancient times, the Aztecs used chia to nourish their messengers as they ran through the mountains. With over 27 minerals, vitamins, amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids, it's not hard to see why.

Who Should Eat Chia?

Let's be honest, it's a lot easier to grab a Big Mac for lunch than it is to eat well. And no offense to the fast food industry, but it's not good for your health or your waistline.
Chia's been used for hundreds of years by South American cultures for its health-boosting and endurance-building nutrients. And with enough protein, healthy fats and fiber content, it's a true super-food and convenient way to supplement the nutrients so often missed in the average diet.
Chia is ideal for athletes, diabetics, pregnant women, children, vegetarians, people who want to lose weight, fight signs of aging or simply want to eat like professional athletes and achieve maximum health with the convenience of a seed that's easily integrated in your diet.
Everyone can eat chia. And frankly, everyone should.

Eat Like a Champ, Feel Like a Warrior

The Aztecs knew the benefits of chia and gave it to their leaders as an annual offering. Now you can enjoy the same benefits, including more energy, greater endurance, better digestion and sharpened mental outlook. Digestive Science Organic Chia Seed is health and virility in the form of a seed.
