A brief introduction to the benefits of eating chia seeds.
(Food-Beverage-News.Com, October 11, 2013 ) Escondido, California -- Escondido, CA — Oct. 11, 2013 — A recent study of the most common natural causes of death in the US, conducted jointly by the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Harvard University, revealed that a lack of Omega 3 Fatty Acid intake was 8th on the list of most common natural causes of death.
It is well documented that the standard American diet is low in Omega 3 fatty acids. One simple vegetarian food—chia seeds—is rich in Omega 3 essential fatty acids and can help people of all ages and body types lose weight, regulate blood sugar and boost energy.
Caprice Hokstad, owner of Vici Vitality, feels that adding chia seeds to the diet is an excellent, natural way to increase Omega-3 fatty acid intake.
"More and more research is revealing the importance of adding foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids to the diet, and there is no better source of Omega 3s than chia seeds," Hokstad said. "Not long after adding these versatile seeds to the diet, people will undoubtedly feel the positive impact on their bodies."
Chia seeds have been consumed for thousands of years, going back to the ancient Aztecs and the Mayans. Warriors and foot-messengers could sustain themselves on a tablespoon a day of chia seeds as they were light and easy to carry.
Now available through Amazon.com, Vici Vitality Premium Chia Seeds are vegan, naturally grown, non-GMO and gluten-free. They have more Omega-3 essential fatty acids than salmon, more calcium than milk, more protein than any other plant-based food and are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, minerals and phytonutrients. They are excellent for dieters because of their ability to absorb water and create a fullness that lasts and are an ideal dietary supplement for vegetarians and vegans.
There are many ways to enjoy chia seeds, which are easy to digest. They may be eaten whole or ground and added to many recipes. Chia seeds can absorb 9 to 12 times their weight in liquid and form a suspended gel that can work as a fat substitute and egg replacer. Eaten alone, they have the consistency of fresh tomato seeds. Chia seeds act like tapioca to thicken any kind of milk (almond, coconut, cow's) into delicious pudding. Chia gel may be added to water for a centuries-old tonic known as "Chia Fresca."
Raw chia seeds have a mildly nutty and crunchy flavor; when added to recipes, the mild seeds absorb the other flavors in the recipe.
