Forbes: “The Next Superfood: Chia Seeds”

Posted on: 10-28-2011 Posted in: Chia

“I couldn’t be more certain that in two years, chia is going to be everywhere,” says Dan Gluck of Health Warrior.

Gluck and business partner Nick Morris started their company after personally discovering the impact of chia.  Forbes covers their business in an article posted on October 11, 2011.

In the article, Forbes says the following about chia:

What’s the science behind the claims? According to the USDA, chia is a complete protein, which means it contains all of the amino acids essential to humans and is comparable in protein quality to beef. It has a low glycemic index, which means it has a negligible effect on insulin levels, and it’s hydrophilic, which means it absorbs 10 times its weight in water–a low-calorie food that is filling because of its volume. It’s rich in B vitamins, iron, calcium, zinc, fiber antioxidants and the anti-inflammatory flavonoid quercetin. (Studies published by the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism have shown quercetin to provide allergy relief, lower blood pressure and possibly improve VO2 max; studies done by Harvard Medical School recommend consuming essential acids to prevent heart and cardiovascular disease.)

Have you tried chia?  Did it have a positive impact on your life?
