Why we need Omega fatty acids

Since I became a distributor of Lifemax MILA miracle seed last year, and advertised the availability of this whole raw food in the Philippines, so many people have asked me how the chia seed is able to solve so many health problems– from slow metabolism, high bl0od pressure, cancer, heart failure, indigestion, arthritis, ADHD, and many illnesses that have arisen only since the 2nd half of the 2nd half of the 20th century.

I believe I can try to explain the answer simply, but from among the many medical practitioners that have decided to include chia is their patients’ diet,  Dr. Mitchell Davis has done a great job to help the layman understand what and why Omega3s are important  for everyone’s diet.

I am embedding his video (edited into 3 portions to minimize file size and ease up access) on Omega-3 here as my easy reference, and for hose who would rather get it directly from a medical practitioner.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OMEGA FATTY ACIDS
AND WHERE TO GET THEM

Why do we need Omega-3? (Source American Heart Association)

• American diet is severely deficient in Omega-3.  Most Americans are getting only 5% of what they need on a daily basis.
• Heart disease is the #1 killer of all diseases and of Americans.  And that’s because none of us are getting enough Omega-3s in our diet. In the healthiest heart societies in the world–in Iceland, in  Alaska, the Indians– their diet is rich in fatty oils. They’re he healthiest hearts in the world

What do Omega fatty acids to

• reduce the inflammation. Omegas are like screens protecting the inner lining of the blood vessels from clots, from calcium, and from other things that cause blockages in the arteries
• have been shown to significantly reduce heart attacks by 60%. So people who have been already had heart attacks and put on Omega-3s, will have less tendency to have another heart attack.
• reduces the risk of stroke
• normalizes blood pressure
• lower Triglycerides (fats) in the blood by 26%
• reduce the risk of artherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries
• improves heart function and rhythm. The rhythm of the heart, sudden cardiac death, is when your heart suddenly stops, and protects against abnormalities in your heart
• improves nerve function and transmission
• improves energy level
• prevents dementia and other mental problems
• improves inflammatory markers in the blood. C-reactive protein is an inflammatory marker that measures how much inflammation goes on in your body. These C- anti-inflammatory proteins are high in any inflammatory disorder

The FDA states “Consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3’s may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.”  The ALA fatty acids break down into EPA and DHA needed by the body, thus more intake of ALA is good to increase the EPA and DHA in the body.

Mayo clinic says that the main benefit of Omega-3’s is the ability to reduce the risk of heart rhythm problems, thus reducing sudden cardiac death. In addition, Omega-3s may reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure slightly, and reduce blot clotting.

Other scientifically-proven benefits of Omega-3s supplementation

• neurological development and function important in every cell membrane of the body, but especially important in the nerve cells.
  • improve conditions of ADD/ADHD people with a calming effect
  • resistance to depression, memory loss, concentration and dementia
• prevents inflamatory disorders — lupus, arthritis, SLE, fibromyalgia
• gastro-intestinal disorders — Irregular Bowel movement, bloating, constipation, reflux, GERD

WHY ARE WE DEFICIENT IN OMEGA-3S?

• we now eat basically have no omega-3s a or have not been fed with omega-3.
• we don’t eat as much fish as we should
  • expensive
  • mercury toxicity

Dramatic change in lipid profile

I have a special interest in Musculoskeletal health and have incorporated a Patient Fitness Center into our practice. In the field of Rheumatology and Immunology there are over 100 different forms of Rheumatic disorders, each unique in its own presentation. Common symptoms include pain and inflammation. We are so fortunate in that over the past 10 years we have had dramatic advances in our field. We can not only offer improvement in symptoms but also prevention of structural damage. Pharmacological therapeutic intervention is imperfect alone, however. Nonpharmacological intervention is imperative and enhances any other therapeutic intervention. This includes energy conservation, fitness training and optimal nutrition.

So we are extremely excited about offering to our patients a new option for improving their nutritional status. We are now recommending Mila to our patients as a nutritional source. For years we have recommended Flaxseed and Omega-3’s to our patients to supplement their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory regimens hoping for optimal absorption and bioavailabaility.  We finally do that with Mila.

The ancient Aztecs used Salvia hispanica L medicinally to relieve joint pain and skin conditions. This had a natural attraction to us in the field of Rheumatology, supporting our efforts to incorporate non-pharmacological measures in our treatment regimens.

I recommended Mila to a patient who has a disorder know as Sarcoidosis, which is a multi-systemic inflammatory disorder. In her case it manifests with joint and lung involvement.  She also has Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia. She is on multiple medications included Prednisone. So when her Cardiologist recommended additional medications to lower her Cholesterol level she determined to become more proactive in her healthcare. She began a spreadsheet charting her Lipid levels between April and July of this year. She started using Mila in July 2009 and had completed 4 weeks of daily doses at time of her last Lipid profile. Her chart looked like this (Normal values):

I verified her results with the laboratory and needless to say we were both excited. Her Cardiologist told her to keep doing what she was doing and did not increase her medications.

We are well aware of the importance of not only treating illness and disease but the imperative necessity of prevention. Our diets hold a major key to this intervention. We feel that we have an obligation to be aware of our patients’ nutritional as well as pharmacological intake and to ensure the proper combinations. We look forward to working with our colleagues toward this effort.

Mila for menopause

Just wanted to let you know how much Mila has helped me after using it for only seven weeks.

I have suffered from severe dry eyes for some time and was using a prescription medication for over a year and a half. My eye would burn for 10 minutes after using it and I was still having dry eye problems. It was very painful – like the top layer had been peeled off of my eye. Since taking the Mila I have had no dry eye problems and have discontinued the medication.

I have also been using medicine to treat my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) that didn’t seem to help very much. I thought that I just had to live with my symptoms and then along came Mila. After taking Mila for a week or two, I realized that I didn’t need my IBS medicine as much and that my IBS was not bothering me – and has not bothered me since then.

Last year, I bought three bottles of another Salvia hispanica L. seed because of their claim that it would help gastrointestinal problems. I used approximately two and a half bottles and then quit because I couldn’t tell any difference. What a difference Mila has made in my life!

From skeptic to beginner

I have to admit that I was a skeptic, like most of my colleagues, when I was presented with yet another “supplement” to aid my treatment of patients and to add to their wellness and preventative medicine programs. However, the potential of a product with high source Omega-3 fatty acids intrigued me. I researched chia over the course of a few months and could find little, if any, fault with the science.

As a busy Family Practitioner, I am presented on a daily basis with patients with GI problems, arthritic complaints, menopausal symptoms, sleep disorders, weight issues, hypertension and elevated cholesterol.  The treatment of these conditions are plagued by side effects and high cost.  Mila has the potential to treat all of these conditions and more.  The future of medicine is effective, low cost treatments with minimal side effects that will benefit preventative medicine programs.  I honestly believe that Mila has a place in that future.

Early research has suggested that pregnant women given Omega-3 fatty acids have children with better eye-hand coordination and reach milestones earlier in life. Chia is safe in pregnancy and can be given to children without detrimental effect. Studies in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, attention deficit disorder, hypertension and weight loss are underway.

In addition, I am the medical director of a weight loss clinic and plan on offering Mila to patients as an adjunct to medication. Taken before meals, Mila absorbs 7 to 10 times its volume of liquid and gives a sensation of fullness.

On a personal note, since starting Mila, I find that I have more mental alertness, energy and sleep better. I suffer from chronic insomnia and typically only get 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night.  The first week I took Mila, I overslept 3 days and was late to the office!  I take Mila one hour prior to lunch and find my appetite significantly diminished with no afternoon hunger pangs.

I recommend Mila to anyone who wants to feel better and am working to get my local medical community on board!

Scared of Statins? 5 Ways Chia Seeds Can Help You Lower Your Cholesterol

Author: Emily Morris

Scared of Statins? Don’t want costly prescriptions? Lower Your Cholesterol the Easy Chia Way!

All you have to do is turn on the TV and you’ll know that millions of people have a cholesterol problem. Major drug companies can’t seem to advertise their pharmaceuticals enough! However, if the idea of spending loads of money on prescriptions every month isn’t something you enjoy, it might be time to look for another, healthier solution.

You might have also noticed that Statin Drugs have come under a negative light in some studies. It’s known that they deplete body levels of Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) which is something your heart needs in order to function correctly. They can also deplete other critical nutrients from the body, and sometimes lower good cholesterol as well. Sure, you can supplement with Co-Q10 pills, but that’s even more money out of your pocket! So aside from all the expense, do you really want to risk these negative effects?

The good news is, you can lower your cholesterol naturally, and inexpensively through food. You may have seen the claims on famous products like Cheerie-o’s ™ and Quaker Oats ™, that “soluble fiber combined with a low saturated fat diet may reduce the risk of heart disease”. There’s more to it then that, and it’s all beneficial to you!

A low fat diet is great, but you also need some pro-active cholesterol cleaners in your corner if you really want to beat down the threat of hardening arteries and cholesterol clogs. The key isn’t to avoid all fats or cholesterol sources, because your body actually needs some to function properly. It’s the ability to sweep away the bad and encourage the good that will lead to better health.

Your key to success can be the Chia Seed, but only if you take action.

How can tiny seeds you’ve never heard of put the brakes one such a big problem as cholesterol? There are so many ways, and you can examine each one in this article. Read exactly about how each fascinating facet benefits you:

First: Soluble Fiber
The exterior of the chia seed is covered in soluble fiber. But this isn’t just any soluble fiber, like that of an oat or flax seed. The fiber of Chia is special, in that it can absorb NINE times the weight of the seed in water, and hold it close to the surface. When it does this, it forms a bead of gel, with the consistency of a gelatin snack. This gel isn’t easily removed from the seed. It takes the digestive system a while to use and remove it, thus hydrating the colon and easing digestion.

Second: Insoluble fiber
Insoluble fiber cannot be digested or absorbed by the body. It is sometimes referred to as “Roughage” and acts as a sweeper in the intestines. When food doesn’t sit around or become overly dry in the colon, toxic substances don’t build up. Unfriendly bacteria doesn’t get the chance to go to work. When insoluble fiber is taking up space in the digestive system, you’re more likely to feel full for longer and thus not eat as much at meal time. Losing excess weight is another key to keeping cholesterol down.

Third: Unsaturated Fatty Acids
These may sound complicated, but they’re important for cell respiration (oxygen transported into cells), the lubrication and resilience of cells. There’s an especially important fatty acid that your body can’t make. It’s called “Linoleic”. You usually get this from raw plant-source foods…but who gets enough of those these days? With Chia Seeds, you won’t have to worry about it. They’re rich in this important nutrient.
How are these important for your cholesterol? They combine with cholesterol in the body to form membranes that hold cells together. It puts cholesterol to good use, but only if you have enough of it to make the combination!

Fourth: Long-Chain triglycerides
These large molecules take a stand to scrub cholesterol off of artery walls, but only when eaten in the right proportions. Chia seeds have these long chain triglycerides in the right proportions to help reduce it for you.

Fifth: Risk Factors
Reducing or eliminating risk factors for high cholesterol is important as well. Some risk factors you can’t do anything about, like heredity. But others such as obesity and diabetes you can help to control with Chia. (The soluble fiber in chia seeds helps control blood sugar levels by slowing down the transformation of carbohydrates into sugars)

Understanding that not all fats are bad, and taking in healthy oils is an important part of a balanced diet. There are so many delicious chia seed recipes, including breakfast bars, granola, fruit smoothies and more that adding this tiny seed to your diet is a snap.
What makes it extra amazing is, that unlike other health foods, you can make these seeds taste like whatever you want. They absorb any liquid they’re placed in, (Remember Fact #1) and distribute the flavor. They have no flavor of their own, so they can’t cover up or ‘ruin’ the taste of foods you love. They’re as easy to use as ‘measure & sprinkle on’! No messy grinding or any preparation is needed.

With the chia seed, you get all the nutrition, and all the taste. Remember: “You Are What You Eat” so eating healthy is a big step toward being healthy. Chia isn’t some foreign miracle-berry or fruit grown in a far off land and sold at a premium price either–these seeds cost under a dollar a day.

If you’re looking for an all natural, pesticide free, delicious and EASY way to lower your cholesterol, consider adding chia seeds to your diet, you’ll be amazed at what they can do for you!

Chia Seed: Miracle Food

from Surfersam

Chia seeds for quality Omega-3s

Chia Seeds These little seeds have nothing to do with the Chia Pet, the popular herb planter. Chia seeds are used like flaxseed, to provide omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. In many ways chia seeds are even better than flaxseed. Chia seeds provide higher levels of omega-3’s, they don’t become rancid with age, and they digest well even when eaten whole. They have the same delicious nutty taste as flaxseeds.

Omega-3’s are the good fats that nourish the brain, lower cholesterol, protect against inflammation and ward off heart disease. Cold-water fish is the usual source for omega-3’s in our diet. But, as concerns grow about the presence of toxic heavy metals in fish, alternative plant sources of omega-3’s, like flaxseed and chia seed, will become more important. You’ll be happy to hear that, unlike fish, chia seeds have no cholesterol. Unlike flaxseed, chia seeds can be stored a long time without becoming rancid.

The black and the white chia seeds are both equally nutritious. Jam-packed full of nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin and zinc, as well as lots of fiber, chia seeds offer a wealth of nutrition for the buck. Vegetarians will find them a valuable protein source when fish is not in their diet.

The chia seeds come from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, and have been eaten for thousands of years. Chia was a food staple of the Aztecs and Mayan Indians, and was used to relieve joint pain and skin conditions. Present-day crops are grown in Arizona and Latin America.

Use chia seeds the same way you use flaxseeds. Sprinkle chia seeds on your breakfast cereal, on your yogurt and in your salad. Bake them into muffins and breads. Eat a spoonful of chia seeds as a snack. If you prefer to take a capsule, chia oil is available in capsule form, just like flaxseed oil. You’re going to hear lots more about chia seeds as interest grows.

I’ve been using Mila chia seeds for some 5 months now, and have experienced higher metabolic rate, great energy and metabolism, great elimination, suppler skin, and lost a total of 20 lbs.

Diet help. The chia seed

Author: Lea Davies

I’m always on the hunt for new WEIGHT LOSS HELP, and discovered one of the best TIPS TO LOSE WEIGHT that I’ve ever seen.

It’s called the CHIA SEED, and was widely used by the Aztec’s but virtually disappeared after they were conquered by the Spanish. They called it “The Running Seed” and would consume it before battle for energy and endurance.

This amazing little seed is wonderful if you need HELP LOSING WEIGHT, and there are many ways in which they can be used.

When CHIA SEEDS are exposed to any liquid (preferably filtered water, you’ll find out why later), it’s weight and size increases at a ratio of about 9-1. A gel coating forms around the outside of the seed and is very difficult to remove, so when ingested, the body will treat it as food, thinking it’s full, but because the gel is made of water, you won’t be adding any calories.

You can also sprinkle them onto food and it will work in the same way. When the Seeds reach the stomach, the gel will form around them making you feel fuller (and let’s face it, hunger is the dieter’s biggest enemy). The gel is then slowly removed in the intestines which will help hydrate you and keep your digestive system moving.

The gel is one of the main benefits of the Chia Seed as it’s believed to create a barrier between Carbohydrates and Digestive Enzymes which slows the conversion rate of Carbohydrate to Sugar, which will then help to keep the blood sugar at a stable level and in turn will help to reduce FOOD CRAVINGS.

But it doesn’t end there. The gel can be used in cooking. If you simply must have that Cookie or piece of cake, you still can but with half the fat. If your recipe states 8 tablespoons of butter (melted), use 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of Chia gel and bake as normal. These amazing little seeds have no taste of their own, but will enhance the flavour of anything they are added to. This is why it is better to use filtered water only as some area’s have fluoride added to their tap water so therefore, the Chia will enhance this flavour as well.

How to make CHIA GEL.

1 tablespoon of CHIA SEEDS.

9 tablespoons of WATER.

Stir to prevent lumps and leave to stand for 10-15 minutes. This produces the gel which can be used as if it were oil or butter in any recipe. Cover and it will keep in the fridge for 1 week.

Nutritionally it’s good for you too. It contains 15 x more magnesium than Broccoli, more anti-oxidants than Blueberries, as much vitamin C as in 6 oranges, nearly 9 x the amount of Omega 3 as in Salmon, double the amount of fibre found in Bran Flakes, nearly 3 x more iron than Spinach, more protein than Soy, 2 x the amount of potassium in a Banana, 6 x the amount of Calcium found in whole milk and naturally contains Boron, which transfers Calcium into your bones. It contains NO CHOLESTEROL, and is good for Vegetarians as it contains complete proteins,making for an all round, HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS DIET.

But to top it all off, pesticides don’t need to be used when growing the seeds because the plants leaves and stems produce an oil which insects and other pests hate, making it 100% natural. So by adding Chia to your food, you’ll be improving the taste as well as maintaining A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET.

No wonder it’s being hailed as a super food. In my opinion, this has to be one of the BEST WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT.

So if your hungry before lunch, add a few of these little beauties to a bottle of WATER and you won’t be tempted to snack.

Warmest Regards

Lea

MILA all day every day

Like other health professionals, I am frequently approached to represent or endorse various kinds of vitamins and other nutritional supplements or treatments, to which I usually say “no.” When Lifemax came around I was not looking for anything else to do. I was already very busy and not looking to add anything else to my already full plate. However, one thing I have learned over the past 20 years or so is that great opportunities are rare and maybe only come around once every decade. Therefore, I never close my mind to an opportunity but instead I always take a cursory look so I can at least feel good about saying “no.” The leadership at Lifemax combined with the company’s amazing healthy whole raw food, Mila, made it hard for me to say “no.” Consequently, “yes” was the only correct answer.

From a health and wellness perspective, Mila is simply amazing. This healthy whole raw food is quite literally helping so many people that it is becoming a movement in and of itself. As a dentist, I have seen patients exhibiting the signs and symptoms of conditions in their earliest stages. In many cases, significant improvement can be achieved by modifying the diet with Mila. The reason for this is because my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize the oral changes that are often the first sign of systemic illness. As an example, patients with undiagnosed diabetes will often have telltale signs such as “acetone breath.” Vitamin B deficiencies may cause halitosis, burning tongue, cracked lips and sores in the corner of the mouth. I believe that the nutrients in Mila are ideal for everyone and especially those with maladies and conditions such as these. This puts dentists in a unique position, among health care providers, to have a profound impact on our patients early simply by urging them to include Mila in their diet. On a personal level, my father died of complications from diabetes, so I know first hand the impact this disease can have and the importance of diet. It is because of my family history as well as my professional dedication and desire to help others that I recommend Mila all day every day with no reservations.

Acid Reflux Symptoms – the Miraculous Chia Seed Remedy!

Author: Charles Stewart Richey

We’ve all seen those funny little clay animals that sprout hair when watered. They are covered in chia seed. They have been around for years and have become an American tradition. Who would have thought that those same tiny seeds would now be considered an important source of nutrition?

Chia comes from the Aztec word, “chian”, which means oily. It is high in omega-3 fatty acid; in fact it has more than any other grain – even more than flax seed. It has the perfect omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. This unsaturated fatty acid is essential for most successful functions of the body.

Since 2,500 B.C. chia seed have been used as human food. Known as “the running food”, these seeds were cultivated by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs. We are just now beginning to discover the importance of this grain.

Chia is loaded with calcium, boron and other necessary minerals; antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. It is a complete source of protein, with all the amino acids in perfect balance. It is indeed the perfect food. The ancient Aztecs valued chia to the extent that it was traded as currency. In those times anything which could increase endurance and control the appetite, was considered invaluable. It enabled them to sustain themselves on long hunting expeditions and war raids.

Chia seed has the ability to absorb approximately 12 times its weight in liquid. Because of this factor, it is a dieter’s dream come true. If made into what is called “chia gel”, it becomes a nutritious drink that fills you up, thus decreasing the appetite. To make this gel, simply add 1/3 cup chia seed to two cups of water. Stir well, breaking up any clumps and store in the refrigerator for twelve hours before drinking. You can store it there for at least two weeks. I make mine in a glass bottle with a tight fitting lid.

Drinking a third cup of chia gel at the onset of acid reflux can eliminate it for many people. Try drinking that much three times a day. It might prevent acid reflux from occurring at all. I know of people who swallow a teaspoon of raw seeds if they experience acid reflux. The seeds absorb the acid just as they do water. Of course you wouldn’t want to ingest too much raw seed at a time unless you have a tremendous amount of acid… it might absorb your stomach. It is best to be conservative and find out what is effective for you.

Chia has other beneficial qualities, as well. It has a neutral taste. It is very easily digested and assimilated. It is soothing to the stomach and esophagus and it has healing properties. Like slippery elm, it is rich in mucilloid soluble fiber, thus allowing it to quell the burning pain of acid reflux in the esophagus and stomach. In ancient times the Indians used it to prevent infection and accelerate healing time, by packing the seed into open wounds.

Chia gel can be incorporated into many other foods without diluting flavor, while displacing fat and calories. It works brilliantly to enhance flavor while replacing fat. For these reasons, chia gel should be an important, if not vital, part of the acid reflux diet.

For breakfast it can be mixed with hot oatmeal, pancakes, and biscuits dough. It’s delicious mixed into scrambled eggs. Ground chia seed can be used in baking bread or as a simple topping on many dishes. Use chia seed gel in yogurt, jams and jellies. Its great mixed into polenta, grits, smoothies and milk shakes. Try it in you favorite blended health mix drink.

Chia gel can be added to soups, salad dressings and even the stuffing that you put in a chicken. The possibilities are practically endless. Try introducing ¼ cup of chia gel into your favorite potato salad recipe, reducing the mayonnaise, in like. It can be used in many baking recipes as a substitution for fat.

Put it the kid’s food. They will never know the difference, as it actually enhances the flavor of food. They will love it! Feed it to your dogs. I put it in my fourteen year old Jack Russell Terrier’s food every day. Not only does he have better digestion and energy, he has better bowel movements. By the way, the F.D.A considers chia a food with an established history of safe consumption.

Chia gel slows the release of carbohydrates and their conversion to glucose (blood sugar). So, besides controlling acid reflux, loosing weight, increasing endurance, chia has the added benefit of reducing blood sugar and hypertension. Because of its high unsaturated fatty acid content, it can even help with prostate problems. I do not think anyone could go wrong by making chia seed a part of their every day life. Because of its incredible health-giving aspects, chia seed is the perfect food for everyone. It is certainly a Godsend for the acid reflux sufferer, in so many ways.

So try chia seed now. You have nothing to loose but a little weight. You could improve your digestion and overall health. It’s certainly worth a try.
