Lace up your sneakers! This seed is a tasty treat that give you the nutrients you need to make it through your workout.

The chia seed is a fantastic functional food to consume before and after exercise because they keep you hydrated. The seeds can absorb 10 times their weight in liquid, and they slowly release this liquid back into your body as you run. The best way to consume chia seeds for this purpose is to make a gel out of them. Mix 1/3 cup of chia seeds with two cups of cool water in a jar, screw on the lid tightly and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for several hours. When you’re preparing for your workout, take several tablespoons of the chia gel. You can mix the gel into juice or water, add it to yogurt or just swallow it down as-is.

Mum's Aztec Chia is an ancient high-nutrient whole food. From the genus Salvia in the mint family and nutty in flavor, its name means ‘oily’, as it is rich in short chain Omega-3 fatty acids. The higher elevations and cooler growing conditions produce optimal crops with higher ALA content. Aztec Chia’s well-earned reputation comes from its dense nutritional profile, which includes an average of 20% protein, 34% oil and 25% both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Rich in antioxidants: Vitamin E, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and flavinoids:
miricetin, quercetin and kaempferolExcellent source of minerals
including phosphorous, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and copper.

Extremely rich in Essential Fatty
Acids, especially Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid.

Terrific ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6
(3:1).

Power to this itty bitty seed!

Got Resveratrol? What is it?!?! Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by some plants to protect against environmental stresses. It is more commonly known, however, as the active ingredient in red wine that protects against heart disease. How to get it in your diet?
   How to best get resveratrol?

I personally take this supplement for two reasons:

1. I’m not a heavy-enough wine drinker.  Okay let me qualify that,  a typical 5 ounce glass of red wine will have anywhere from 0.3 mg to 1.9 mg of resveratrol, while the typical supplement has over 30 mg of resveratrol. And the supplement I take has 200 mg and I take it at least twice a day!! Which means I would need to drink 1000 BOTTLES of RED wine every day! Ask us HOW?
2. It costs only about 30 cents per day to take the supplement. Wine? Plan on spending about $50-100 per day to get 30 mg the same amount of resveratrol (not to mention the constant state of inebriation you’d be in).

Besides, supplements are standardized for resveratrol content, while wine can vary widely by grape, region and vintage. But that’s just me-millions of happy old Frenchmen would argue that to turn away a glass of fine pinot noir in favor of a capsule would constitute sacrilege, and if you like a glass or two of the red stuff to go along with your dinner every evening, then you might be apt to agree with them.

We like this!    

This is one of the reasons that medical professionals promote drinking wine. The antioxidants in the wine quickly make their way into the bloodstream so it works quickly. Antioxidants help our bodies fight against cell damage, which in turn helps us to live healthier lives and look ageless.

Acai Berry Supplements Your Diet Diva's Review: The Acai Berry can be found deep in the Amazon jungle, which is why you won’t find the actual berry in your local supermarket. You will find it, however, in capsule form, puree form, juices, and in freeze dried form. You may even find it in powder form. This is done because the berry is highly perishable and would never make it to your supermarket shelves. Instead, it is preserved in other forms in order to make sure that it is able to be consumed.

So what makes the Acai Berry so special? There are a lot of reasons.

Fights disease

The Acai Berry is great for fighting against several serious health issues. As a matter of fact, lab tests have shown this berry to fight off cholesterol and high blood pressure and several other as well. The high concentration of antioxidants makes the Acai Berry very healthy.

As a matter of fact, the antioxidants can also help in the fight against obesity. Everything that is contained within the Acai Berry makes for a very potent detox supplement. There are lab studies that state the fruit helps to detox the body which, in turn, speeds up metabolism. You might be surprised to find out that your body has anywhere between 5 and 20 pounds of junk hanging out. When you can flush that out, you can lose a very quick 5 to 20 pounds. Incorporate the Acai Berry into your healthy diet and exercise and you have a lethal combination against obesity.

The quickest way to take it

PureAcaiBerry.com sells the supplement for you so that all you have to do is take a single capsule and receive 1500mg of Acai Berry. This is opposed to the usual dose of 1000mg. Basically, you are getting an even better dose of a 100% pure and certified organic product. It is not tampered with, so you know you are getting something that is taken into your body the same way it would be if you were eating the Acai Berry straight off of the vine.  The only one I would recommend, due to its endless research, proven science, Doctorate approved is the "Pure Acai Berry" the daily dose is effective, unlike some of its coompetitors, trust me I love it!! Kudos PUREACAIBERRY!
