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.

Purica's Aztec Chia is an ancient high-nutrient whole food that is native to Mexico. 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.
