Chia Helps Digestion Problems

Digestion problems can make you cringe. There's acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome. There's also inflammation of the gastrointestinal system. Not familiar with that one? How about fatigue, poor skin, gas, constipation, diarrhea? That list goes on, by the way. And they're all symptoms of GI inflammation. Nice, huh?

Wouldn't it be great it there was a common solution to these digestion problems - the IBS, the reflux and those ugly symptoms of GI inflammation?

Actually, there may be. In a word: chia.

About Chia

If you're not familiar with chia, no worries. You won't find it in many supermarkets and it's not mentioned in the same breath as salmon or blue berries. At least, not yet.

And yet, the benefits of chia are hard to ignore. With 27+ vitamins and minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, chia bursts with nutritional value. Look closer and you'll find a splendid, digestion-pleasing breakdown of 16% protein, 31% fat and 44% carbohydrate, of which 38% is belly-filling fiber.

In ancient times, Aztec messengers consumed chia seeds for nourishment to run hundreds of miles across the mountains. More recently, it's been mentioned in the media, including The Dr. Oz Show and Oprah Winfrey magazine for its unbeatable nutritional value and how easily it blends into a hectic schedule. Being a seed, the sky's the limit in terms of how you add it to your routine.

Oh yeah, and one more thing: chia may prevent those digestion problems so common in the North American diet.
