Chia Seeds 3LB ALL NATURAL, Non-GMO, Health benefit++ Works! Helps lose weight!

The Chia Seed is an amazing food.
When you hydrate the seeds in water the seeds shell opens up and absorbs up to nine times its volume in water. This then forms a gel, which is called Chia Seed Gel. The gel helps keep your body hydrated. The gel is also 90% soluble fiber, which is beneficial for your digestive track. People use the seeds when they are involved in sports or physical activities for endurance. The seeds have twice the protein of any other seed or grain, five times the calcium of milk, boron which is trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones, omega 3 and omega 6 which are essential oils for the body. They also have a very long list of valuable nutrients in them naturally. The soluble fiber in the gel forms a wall between carbohydrates and the body, releasing them slowly into the body.

The chia seeds are know to lower cholesterol.
Mary Clarke Ph.D. of nutritional at Kansas State University in a special report, "Eating Fat, Then and Now",  writes that  the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 up until this century had been one to one. Citing a study, " Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Depression," by Hibbeln and Salem, in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 62 (1): 1-9 July 1995 she writes: When margarine made from vegetable oils became popular, this ration changed so that omega-6s now far outnumber omega 3s by rations from 10 to 1 to as high as 25 to 1. Accumulating evidence suggest that this change is an important factor in our high incidence of coronary heart disease and some other chronic diseases.
Chia seeds contain a near 3 to 2 ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 which compares favorably with 10 to 1 through 25 to 1 ratios making it easier to lower cholesterol..
In a study of essential fatty acids, Dr Michael T. Murray drives home the point that omega-3 oil from flax seed costs only 1/6th that of omega-3 oil from seafood sources.

This has been found to be very helpful for people who have trouble controlling their sugar levels like Diabetics. Dieters love the seeds because it can be added to any food or drink in a ratio of 75% to the volume of food or drink and will not change the taste. Because the carbohydrates are released slowly you will get the feeling of being full. Many use the seeds as a way to control their appetites. The gel has no taste. The best way to use the seeds is to take the seeds already hydrated so they will not absorb your own body fluids to hydrate. The seeds may be added to anything from water to juice and any food. Any age bracket could benefit from adding the seeds to their diet. Whether it is for physical activity, added nutrition, controlling weight or sugar levels, the seeds have been known to help all of these The most unique part is that it is only a seed, nothing artificial and the cost is minimal.
