Chia: The Seed Of Abundant Life By Latoya Jacobs Lately, it appears that various super foods are surfacing in a number health food and supermarket retailers all around the country, resulting in many people incorporating the foods into their everyday diets. One of the most recent super foods to take center stage is the chia seed. Chia seeds are tiny all-natural seeds that were first found in the Central American region and consumed by the ancient Aztecs. As the world evolved, the chia seed remained prevalent and was an important source of nutrition for the Native Americans. Today, after extensive studies and research, it has been concluded that the chia seed is a primary food that, if added to one's daily diet, could prevent and combat many different life-threatening illnesses. Chia seeds contain some important health benefits that could be beneficial to the longevity of life. First of all, the seeds are loaded with tons of Omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to overall brain health. Also, research has shown that the miniscule super food can also aid in staving off Type-2 diabetes by slowing down the digestion process. Lastly, chia seeds possess the power to give you a healthier heart. Studies have revealed that chia seeds improve blood pressure as well as increasing healthy cholesterol. Another great thing about including chia seeds into your diet is the flavor. Sometimes it is thought that most healthy foods are not popular because of the taste. But, fortunately, that is not the case when it comes to eating your chia seeds. The answer is simple. Chia seeds do not have a flavor and, therefore, will not alter the taste of your regular food. So, you can add the seeds to your favorite fruit or vegetable smoothie, sprinkle it over oatmeal, mix it in with yogurt, or shake it over a large salad and there will not be a major difference. The chia seed, the newly coined miracle food, according to many doctors and scientists, is necessary when it comes to helping a person feel good while enjoying a longer, healthier, and fuller life.
