Chia Seeds Can Imrove Your Quality of Life

Chia seeds are small, mottle-colored with brown, gray, black and white ovals that contain 20% protein, 34% oil, 25% dietary fiber, and significant levels of antioxidants such as chlorogenic and caffeic acids, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol flavonols. There is a very high concentration of omega-3 fatty acid in the oil from the seeds. The FDA regards chia as a food with an established history of safe consumption.

You can add Chia Seeds to any dish. I like to put it in omelettes in the morning or salads during the day. I have added them to any number of dishes. Alternatively simply take a teaspoon dry chased with a glass of water. I typically do this an hour before a tennis match and find my energy level stays strong throughout the 2 to 2 1/2 hour matches. When cleaning up a overgrown yard covered in ivy I found that I was taxed but not tired as I cut, chopped, yanked and gathered the ivy and crammed it into more than a dozen large trash bags and carried them to the dumpster that was about a quarter mile away. My muscles ached a bit as theyhad not been used inthis fashion in a long, long time. But they did not give out or become overly taxed and after more than four hours I still had energy to spare. The next day none of the anticipated aches and pains plagued me.

Was it the Chia Seeds? I don't know for sure but I certainly suspect they played a large role that day. Try them. I think you will like what they do for you.
