In
the last twenty-five years, there has been a resurrection in the
definition of medicine, a resurrection that amplifies the significance
of our eating habits and our lifestyle. 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. That would mean, for
example, laughter is a medicine because research found it to boost the
immune system.
Research has revealed that more than two thirds of all deaths in the United States are diet related. More than 50% of all deaths are caused from coronary occlusion, blockage of the blood flow to the heart and/or the brain. These are all preventable deaths according to the Journal of American Medical Association which published in 1961 that, “All coronary occlusion can be eliminated by 97% through a vegetarian diet.” Fourteen hundred American’s are dying of cancer every day. In the prestigious advances in Cancer Research, they concluded, “At present, we have overwhelming evidence… (That) none of the risk factors for cancer is… more significant than diet and nutrition.” Because the question of what might be the optimum diet can, at times, be emotionally charged for many people, having had a significant emotional commitment in believing they know what’s best, I would like to suspend the issues of diet and introduce you to a “super” food that all would agree on.
It
is once valued so much that it was used as currency, this unique little
seed has exceptional nutritive and structural benefits. Chia is
familiar to most of us as a seed used for the novelty of
the Chia Pet™, clay animals with sprouted Chia seeds covering
their bodies.
If
you try mixing a spoonful of White Chia Seeds 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 gel-forming reaction is due to the soluble fiber
in the Chia Seeds. Research believes this same gel-forming phenomenon
takes place in the stomach when foods containing these gummy fibers,
known as mucilage’s, are eaten. The gel that is formed in the
stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the
digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of
carbohydrates into sugar.
In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics sugar levels, this conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability for creating endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in our bodies. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.
One
of the exceptional qualities of the White Chia seed is its hydrophilic
properties, having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weight
in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong
hydration. Fluids and electrolytes provide the environment that
supports the life of all the body’s cells. Their
concentration and composition are regulated to remain as constant as
possible.
Chia seeds are the definitive hydrophilic colloid for the
21-century diet. 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. The precipitation of the hydrophilic colloids
cause cell death. The foods we eat, in the raw state, consist largely
of hydrophilic colloids.
When cooked on the other had, precipitates its colloidal integrity.This change in the colloidal state alters the hydration capacity of our foods so as to interfere with their ability to absorb digestive juices. If we were to eat a raw diet we wouldn’t need to introduce the addition of any hydrophilic colloid to our diet.
Uncooked
foods
contain sufficient hydrophilic colloid to keep gastric mucus in the
proper condition. But even with raw foods, they must first be partially
broken down by the digestive juices, beginning in the mouth and
continuing through he upper tract, to allow the gelatinous reaction to
take place. Because of this upper tract digestive process, those who
suffer from slow digestion, gas formation, relaxed cardiac and
heartburn in which the burning is due to organic acids instead of an
excess of the normal hydrochloric acid, which frequently accompanies
chronic inflammation disease affecting such organs as the heart, lungs,
gall bladder and appendix, are usually restricted from eating raw
foods. A hydrophilic colloid incorporated with these foods may be used
either in connection with the patient’s regular food or with
whatever diet the physician feels is best
suited for his patient.
The
patient with gastric atonomy or nervous indigestion who complains of
heartburn and/or vomiting four to five hours after eating is often
helped. There is a lessening of emptying time if the stomach and an
improvement in gastric tone. A strict dietary regimen is at as
necessary when the hydrophilic. Chia seeds may be used in conjunction
with almost any diet your doctor or nutritionist
feels is necessary for your condition.

One pound of white chia seeds would make 24 cups of gel once hydrated which if you took the recommended dose of three tablespoons three times a day of the gel it would last you over a month. I recommend to my customers to just use 1/3 cups of seeds and put in two cups of water and whisk to hydrate then place in fridge. It will last three weeks. Take out as needed and then when that is gone then hydrate more seeds. Once a day you can take One tablespoon of the raw seeds and put them in water or juice prior to workout or physical activity or for appetite control and weight loss. We offer bulk white chia seeds in 1/2lb and 1lb bags.
