Get More Energy and Lose Weight - No Blarney! March 17, 2010
Get More Energy and Lose Weight with Chia!!!
( No Blarney!! )
This past year I learned about an amazing Super Food that I want to tell you about.
Well upon urging of my Natural Foods teacher,I decided to try them so I picked up a bag of Organic Chia Seeds in Whole Foods.
Eh - tasteless, and no big deal I thought. I mixed them in water.
Well, I must tell you - I noticed a strength and stamina that was very unusual for me - subtle, but noticeable.
Today, if I go without my Chia - I miss it tremendously. I've also noticed I'm not as hungry and I don't have those occasional afternoon blood sugar dips nor cravings at night!
Now, I do prepare them in a special way - here is how in this video (1 min 14 sec):
Here are the benefits and ways you can use Chia:
Help you lose weight b/c they fill you up and
cleanse your intestinal tract
Chia seeds are 'hydrophilic' so they keep you hydrated longer
Chia seeds were a main component of the Aztec and Mayan diets.
There is a drink popular in Mexico and Central America called “Chia Fresca” where they mix chia seeds in water and add lime or lemon and sugar.
How to use:Sprinkle on your food

As with everything – best to get the organic!Sources:
