Chia - The Facts

 

Chia slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar

Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in your body. By prolonging their conversion into sugar, this stabilizes metabolic changes, which in turn creates steadier, lengthier energy release and endurance.

 

Chia is a muscle and tissue builder

Chia is a very easily digested source of protein.

This easy and quicker digestion results in your body being able to benefit and use protein more effectively.

This makes Chia very effective when rapid development of tissue takes place. Especially useful for if you wish to tone up your body and are taking regular exercise in the regeneration of muscle tissue.

 

Chia Seeds have a high Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) content

These oils, unsaturated fatty acids, are the essential oils your body needs to help emulsify and absorb the fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E, & K.

Unsaturated fatty acids are important for the health of your vital organs and make it easier for oxygen to be transported by the blood stream to all your cells, tissues, and organs.

They also help maintain resilience and lubrication of all cells and combine with protein and cholesterol to form living membranes that hold the body cells together.

Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for normal glandular activity, especially of the adrenal glands and the thyroid glad. They nourish the skin cells and are essential for healthy mucus membranes and nerves.

The unsaturated fatty acids function in the body by cooperating with vitamin D in making calcium available to the tissues, assisting in the assimilation of phosphorus, and stimulating the conversion of carotene into vitamin A. Fatty acids are related to normal functioning of the reproductive system. Chia contain beneficial long-chain triglycerides (LCT) in the right proportion to reduce cholesterol on arterial walls.

 

Chia is a rich source of calcium

Chia contains a vital mineral called boron, which acts as catalyst for the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
