The Magic of Chia Seed - an excellent source  of EFAs and other nutrients - 0 views

  • Medicine is not only defined as a treatment for illness and disease, it is now understood to be for the prevention of illness and disease.
    • Gary Patton
       
      This definition would not be an acceptable one for many modern, western doctors; but it is an accurate one based on the statements of "medicine's founders and first pratitioners".
  • Chia Seed - The Ancient Food of the Future
  • laughter is a medicine because research found it to boost the immune system

  • the most important medicine, especially for the prevention of illness and disease, is our diet.
  • a spoonful of Chia in a glass of water and leaving it for approximately 30 minutes or so, when you return the glass will appear to contain not seeds or water, but an almost solid gelatin.

      This the best was to eat chia ...especially before a meal containing starch which spikes one's blood sugar.
  • Research believe this same gel-forming phenomenon takes place in the stomach when food containing these gummy fibers, known as mucilages, are eaten.
  • slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar.
  • this slowing in the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability for creating endurance.
  • Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.
  • Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration.
  • Hydrophilic colloids, (a watery, gelatinous, glue-like substance) form the underlying elements of all living cells. They posses the property of readily taking up and giving off the substances essential to cell life.
  • Uncooked foods contain sufficient hydrophilic colloid to keep gastric mucosa in the proper condition.
  • Even if you have sensitivity to certain foods, they may be tolerated with slight discomfort or none at all if a hydrophilic colloid is made a part of your diet. 
  • Chia seed, a muscle and tissue builder and an energizer of endurance with extensive hydration properties, possesses none of the above disadvantage,
  • if we consider the effect of unusual irritation upon the nerves of the gastrointestinal canal, it is reasonable the think that a less violent and more balanced digestion might quiet the activity of the otherwise hyperactive gut.
  • foods, which formerly produced irritation, may frequently be continued without harm when hydrophilic colloids are used.
  • The change, in the lower gastrointestinal tract, is due to the effect of the hydrophilic colloid and to a more complete digestion-taking place along the entire tract due to physiochemical alterations.
  • As a source of protein, the Chia, after ingestion, is digested and absorbed very easily.  This results in rapid transport to the tissue and utilization by the cells.
  • Another unique quality if the Chia seed is its high oil content, and the richest vegetables source for the essential omega-3 fatty acid. 
  • In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics,
  • It has approximately three to ten times the oil concentrations of most grains and one and a half to two times the protein concentrations of other grains.   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.  Chia seeds are rich in the unsaturated fatty acid, linoleic, which the body cannot manufacture. 
  • Unsaturated fatty acids are important for respiration of vital organs and make it easier for oxygen to be transported by the blood stream to all 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.
  • The Chia seed is also a rich source of calcium as it contains the important mineral boron, which acts as catalyst for the absorption and utilization of the calcium by the body. 
  • The seed’s hydrophilic (water absorbing) saturated cells hold the water, so when it is mixed with foods, it displaces calories and fat without diluting flavor.
  • it creates more surface area and can actually enhance the flavor rather than dilute it. Chia gel also works as a fat replacer for many recipes.
  • buy substituting the oil in your breads with Chia gel. Top your favorite bread dough before baking with Chia gel (for toping on baked goods, breads, cookies, piecrust, etc., reduce the water ration to 8 parts water to 1 part Chia seed) for added shelf life.

    This article succinctly outlines the power of the "ancient Grain", as Chia is called, which is really a seed. It's a strong source of EFA's plus a modulator of carbohydrate-caused "sugar spikes" that can cause Insulin Resistance, a precursor to Type II Diabetes. gfp (2012-03-18)

    The Deadliest Diseases. Insulin is a protein that plays a prominent role in the regulation of sugar level in our bodies. Insulin is produced by the pancreas in the human bodies. When the pancreas doesn't produce insulin then, it becomes quite difficult to balance the sugar level in the blood.
