Planetary Herbals Chia Omega™ is made from
chia seeds, an ancient Aztec superfood. Chia seeds were one of the
main staples in the Aztec and Incan daily diet, the most valued
after corn. The name “Chia” even means strength in the language
of the Mayans, and warriors used chia seeds during battles. Chia is
the highest currently known plant source of omega-3 ALA,
which is able to convert into both EPA and DHA. Rich in
anti-inflammatory activity, Chia Omega is a perfect addition
to the daily diet.

Weight loss seems to be a major benefit from these
seeds. Chia´s is high fiber food, so when adding to a meal,
the sense of being full and satisfied are obtain by eating smaller
portions. Chia seeds also are beneficial in stabilizing
blood sugar and reducing junk food cravings. In your
digestive system, the seed swells, creating a gel like substance.
This gel actually slows down the conversion of carbohydrates to
sugar, thus helps to stablize
blood sugar. By eliminating the spikes of your blood sugar, you get
a more consistent energy level and reduced cravings. Chia
seeds have neutral flavor and color, Chia integrates seamlessly into
any healthy recipe
Diabetics may find the small little Chia seed
helpful as well. An article states: Consumption of nonmarine
sources (ALA) of omega-3 Fatty Acids is associated with a decreased
risk of type 2 diabetes... Am J Clin Nutr
2011;94:520–6.
These little Chia seeds are not new, they have
been on the radar of Natural Physicans, for years. Dr. Oz, and Dr.
Weil have made numerous comments about the chia seeds health
benefits.

From Dr. Oz website (http://www.doctoroz.com/search?q1=chia)
here is the famous Chia Muffin Recipe. I have to admit I baked
a batch last night and brought them to work, they did not last even
5 minutes. The muffins are very moist, and with the
cranberries, have a great "normal" taste of a muffin.
