Chia Seed History and Origin
The little chia seed is gaining popularity, so it’s worth a look. Chia seeds can be black or white (brown indicates that the seed is unripe). There is no difference nutritionally. White or black, this little seed has a lot to be proud of. Let’s talk about how it all began. The Aztecs boast the first record of Chia as early as 3500B.C. It was, in fact, one of the main foods in the Aztec diet. The prevalence of Chia continued for quite some time. Later, between 1500 and 900B.C, it was grown in Mexico by the Teotihuacan and Toltec people. These people had some surprising uses for the chia seed. Aside from being eaten whole, the chia seed was anciently used for many things. It was used in medicine, ground into flour, mixed as an ingredient in drinks, and pressed for oil.
What Is Chia?
Nutritious and easy to prepare, chia is an edible seed that comes from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico. You may have seen chia sprouts growing on the novelty planters called Chia Pets, but historically, chia seeds have been the most important part of the plant. In pre-Columbian times they were a main component of the Aztec and Mayan diets and were the basic survival ration of Aztec warriors. one tablespoon of chia seeds was believed to sustain an individual for 24 hours. The Aztecs recognized the medicinal benefits of chia, using it to stimulate saliva flow and to relieve joint pain and sore skin. Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium.
Health Benefits of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are rich in polyunsaturated fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds' lipid profile is composed of 60 percent omega-3s, making them one of the richest plant-based sources of these fatty acids specifically, of alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA. The omega-3s in chia seeds can help reduce inflammation, enhance cognitive performance and reduce high cholesterol. Fiber is associated with reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol and regulating bowel function. Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber. The high antioxidant profile also helps them have a long shelf life. Chia seeds contain no gluten or grains. Therefore, all of the nutritional benefits of chia seeds can be obtained on a gluten-free diet. Chia seeds can play an important role in regulating insulin levels. They can reduce insulin resistance and decrease abnormally high levels of insulin in the blood.
Chia Seed for Cardiovascular and cholesterol
Increased fiber intake has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. A review of 67 separate controlled trials found that chia seed increase in fiber intake reduced LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, as well as total cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that dietary fiber may play a role in regulating the immune system and inflammation. In this way, it may decrease the risk of inflammation-related conditions such as cardiovascular problem. A diet with adequate fiber promotes regularity for a healthy digestive tract. Regular bowel movements are crucial for the daily excretion of toxins through the bile and stool. Omega-3s may also decrease LDL, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, reduce atherosclerotic plaque, improve endothelial function, and slightly lower blood pressure.
Chia Seed helps to loss weight
Chia seeds are popular for weight loss. They reduce food cravings by blocking some of the food that you eat from getting absorbed into your system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes them a great diet helper. They can also help your diet by making you feel full. This is because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, forming a bulky gel. Chia is all about omega-3 fatty acids—with loads of protein, antioxidants, magnesium and fiber to boot. Chia has a mild, nutty flavor and is very easy to add to nearly anything to boost the nutritional value. Chia was historically cultivated by the Aztecs, Incans and Mayans as far back as 3500 B.C.E. It was so valuable to the Aztecs that they even used it as currency. In fact, “Chia” is the Mayan word for “strength.” There is a lot of strength in Navitas Organics Chia since it contains an abundance of good-for you-nutrients that can be added to nearly any meal.
Chia Seeds are a great source of many minerals
What makes chia seeds unique and special is the high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthful for your heart. Approximately 75% of the fats found in chia seeds include the omega-3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid (ALA), whereas approximately 20% of them consist of omega-6 fatty acids. There are a plenty of plants that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, but there is no plant as high in these acids as chia seeds. Even though chia seeds consist of a great amount of omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), these are not as potent as the ones that are found in fish or fish oil (EPA and DHA). ALA is not an active form of the fatty nutrient. Chia seeds are a good plant-based protein source because they contain high-quality protein with all the essential amino acids. Chia seeds are a great source of many minerals.
