Health Food Emporium Announces Garden of Life's New Raw Organics Chia and Flaxseeds
(PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- In a recent interview, Gail Bowman, owner of Health Food Emporium, said, "Garden of Life has long been known for their whole food supplements. Now, they are releasing a line of chia and flax seeds that is just food. This is a new direction for this supplement company. They sent me a sample and I found the flaxseeds to be different than what I had tried before. These are cold milled, ground very fine, and are almost fluffy. They worked great as a thickening in my gravy, as well as an healthy addition to my breakfast smoothy. I am really excited about this new direction for Garden of Life!"
According to Dr Oz, "Contributing to its (Chia's) super-seed status, ounce for ounce, chia seeds have more omega-3 fatty acids than salmon! Chia is one of the most concentrated sources of omega-3 in any food. It also contains high amounts of omega-6. Everyone needs to consume high amounts of these essential fatty acids in their diet, because these EFAs build new cells and regulate various processes of the body, but our bodies cannot make them internally. They also support heart health and beautiful skin, hair and nails."
A recent article by Extraordinary Health Magazine stated, " chia seeds and flaxseeds are the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s, of course, support healthy inflammation levels, cardiovascular health, eye health, brain power, healthy skin, hair and nails—plus additional benefits. What’s more is that our bodies can’t make omega-3s, so they have to come from our diet. We need ample amounts of them, too, because omega-3s are the impetus behind making new cells and regulating a variety of processes in the body. Unfortunately, however, most people don’t get enough omega-3s from their diet, but the good news is that just one ounce of either chia seeds or flaxseeds provides healthy amounts of plant-based omega-3s."
If all of that isn't enough, according to Lilian Thompson, Ph.D., an internationally known flaxseed researcher from the University of Toronto, more research is coming out that flaxseeds provide a rich source of ALA, which is important because the human body uses ALA for healthy cellular growth and cellular energy production. The ALA in flaxseeds supports cardiovascular health in a variety of ways, including supporting healthy inflammation levels by blocking the release of pro-inflammatory agents and supporting a normal heartbeat, healthy arteries and blood pressure levels.
Flaxseeds can be used in place of flour to thicken soups and gravies. Both Flax and Chia can be used in smoothies or sprinkled over yogurt, fruit, oatmeal or cereal. The Raw Organics Chia and Flaxseeds come packaged separately or with both chia and flax together as well as with or without antioxidant fruits.
