Chia Seed

	Dr. Weil on Chia Seed: "Unlike flaxseed, chia seeds can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid and don't require grinding (whole flaxseed is tough to digest). Chia provides fiber (about 2 tablespoons--25 g--give you 7 g of fiber) as well as other important nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin, and zinc. Very few formal studies have looked at chia's benefits, although I expect that more will soon. In a preliminary study from the University of Toronto, researchers fed 21 diabetics either a supplement made from chia or grains with similar fiber content. After 3 months, blood pressure in patients taking chia dropped (10 points diastolic, 5 points systolic) while the grain group's BP remained steady. I enjoy the seeds' nutlike flavor and consider them to be a healthful and interesting addition to my diet. You can sprinkle ground or whole chia seeds on cereal, yogurt, or salads; eat a handful of whole seeds as a snack; or grind them up and mix with flour when making muffins or other baked goods. Or make your own "chia fresca," a drink popular in Mexico and Central America: Stir 2 teaspoons of the seeds into 8 to 10 ounces of water (you'll end up with a slightly gelatinous liquid). Add lime or lemon juice and sugar to taste, and enjoy. My prediction? You will begin to see chia being added to more and more commercial products, such as prepared baby foods, nutrition bars, and baked goods." - Andrew Weil, M.D. 3 Reasons to Eat Chia Seeds

Our philosophy at Green Grown Products is to be part of a new movement of super nutrition for people to make much better choices to enhance their lives. Super nutrition is excellent for one's health and spirit. People are becoming aware that eating healthy is essential for themselves, their children and their pets lives. Our soil and our air has been compromised, therefore we believe that super nutrients are what we need to restore our bodies and our brains.

Omegas are the golden keys to all of this super nourishment -- chia seeds are truly a wonder food for the near future. In 1971, when Hal began his mission, health food was something that few people cared about, but that is changing. Now, Hal and Teri are here with the same mission, to make products that give people one of the greatest gifts of life...and that is health!

Chia is an oil seed, different from comparable oil plants in its fat content: two-thirds of Chia oil are Omega-3 essential fatty acids (polyunsaturated) while only 10% are saturated fatty acids. Because Omega-3 sources are becoming increasingly scarce in the world, we need to turn our attention to Chia. In addition to its extremely high Omega-3 content, Chia has other components that makes it attractive for human nutrition: antioxidants, fiber, vitamins B1, B2, B3, plus minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and copper. Chia seed is considered a “dietary supplement” by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA). Furthermore, its nutritional content complies with the strict regulations required by this organization to qualify as a “healthy food”.

Hydrophilic Structural Integrity Of Chia Seed

Chia seed’s unique hydrophilic integrity has the ability to hold more than 14 times its weight in water. This ensures extended hydration and electrolyte balance as the seeds hold the water throughout the digestive processes. Its structural integrity slows digestion, supporting healthy blood sugar levels naturally (especially beneficial for type-II diabetics) while creating a more efficient assimilation of foods, increasing nutrient up-take and absorption and utilization by the body. The structural integrity acts to disarm irritation associated with taking supplements or medications that most people experience.

It has also been shown to lesson or eliminate irritations caused from spicy food, sauces and dips. Indigestion, heartburn and intestinal gas are all neutralized within a few minutes of taking the Chia seed gel, for most people. The excess stomach acids are absorbed and neutralized without harmful side effects while continuing to support the digestive processes.

Most over the counter digestive aids, although helpful by diminishing symptoms, they also diminish or stop the body’s ability to digest the undigested foods remaining causing serious long term side effects from those food remnants traveling through the upper and lower digestive track. Taking 2 or 3 TBS of Chia seed gel before or with each meal significantly supports healthy digestion and healthy elimination.

The magnified “Chia Seed Gel” (water-soaked chia seed) seen at left at a 9:1 water to seed ratio by weight, shows how the seeds hold the water with their gelatinous fibers.

Health Fact: Just 5% loss of body fluid results in precipitant symptoms; elevated heart rate; weakness; fatigue and confusion.

The hydrophilic properties aid in the absorption and utilization of available nutrients and extend hydration supporting electrolyte balance and extending endurance. Its structural integrity ensures efficient and effective utilization of body fluids. Hydration is the key for normal cellular function optimizing performance.

The Chia Boost Formula (CBF) is recognized for enhancing athletic performance. Its unique profile gives you muscle building protein, absorbable calcium, elevates metabolism for enhanced energy by oxygenating the blood while normalizing heart rhythm. Its structural integrity slows digestion for better assimilation of foods and supplements for increased nutrient uptake by the body, while retaining and extending hydration for prolonged electrolyte balance naturally.

The Chia Boost Formula products are also great for weight management programs. Their hydrophilic properties aids digestion creating an environment for slowing down the conversion of the foods we eat. Slow conversion extends nutrient absorption disarming cravings to eat. Cravings are spawned from nutrient and hydration deficiency. Our CBF product provides sustainable nutrient and hydrophilic profiles to support any healthy weight management programs.
In addition to the above mentioned applications, our innovative CBF formulas are an excellent survival food. If you have any extended time in nature, i.e. mountainous or desert wilderness areas or at sea, you would be well advised to bring an ample supply of our CBF product. Beyond its nutritional and structural profile their unique sensory appeal will keep you wanting more!

Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), OMEGA-3 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID

Chia Seed is one the richest plant based omega-3 sources available (63%). One of the many functions of omega-3 is its supportive role with cholesterol. We have been mislead in our understanding of cholesterol. Cholesterol has been portrayed as being bad. The fact is cholesterol forms the membranes that enclose every cell in the body. Within the cells of the skin, cholesterol is changed by the sunlight into vitamin D which regulates the use of calcium. Cholesterol convert into bile salts in the liver to digest fats. The emphasis should not be lowering cholesterol, rather on the “measures” of cholesterol, dietary among them, supporting its benefits to produce optimal cholesterol levels. One of the measures you can apply is to increase the amount of omega-3 EFA you consume. The omega-3 oils appear to change the balance of cholesterol in the blood: (1) they lower the “bad” LDL (low density lipoprotein) that carry cholesterol to the cells throughout the body. If levels get too high they go rancid and stick to arterial walls causing them to narrow. (2) they raise the “good” HDL (high density lipoprotein) which removes cholesterol from the blood and carries It back to the liver. Only when the diet provides enough omega-3 to link up with cholesterol in the liver can cholesterol do its many important functions safely.

Omega-3 is especially beneficial to the Western diet. The traditional Western diet (low in ALA-omega-3) has been found to be the primary factor of “coronary heart disease” (CHD) in the American society. Clinical studies have demonstrated that men and women who eat a traditional Western diet, when increasing the dietary intake of ALA, a significant reduction of CHD events occur by 50-70%.

Capsicum

Capsicum (cayenne pepper) is said to be unequal for its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action. Capsicum exerts a variety of desirable actions on the entire cardiovascular system. It has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure.

Capsicum has an energizing effect on the entire system. It has traditionally been used for overcoming fatigue and restoring stamina and vigor. It is a natural stimulant without the threatening side effects (palpitations, hyper-activity or rise in blood pressure) of most other stimulating agents.

Because Capsicum boots peripheral circulation and stimulates organ secretion, it expedites the therapeutic delivery and action of nutrients in the body. It will ensure the rapid and even distribution of the active principles of available nutrients to critical function centers, including those involved in cellular respiration, metabolic data transmission and neural-hormonal action. The remarkable ability of Capsicum to stimulate organ secretion and even heart action makes it one of the strongest natural stimulants known. Clearly, Capsicum should be considered nothing less than a wonder herb that has scientifically proven its worth!
