Legend has it that chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) were used by ancient Aztec warriors to boost their endurance. They were a dietary staple in ancient history – and science is starting to recognize the potent health benefits of these tiny seeds.

⦁ Energy and stamina: Chia seeds boost your energy levels and metabolism, thanks to their high content of magnesium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. ^[1] The omega-3 content should also help sustain your energy.

⦁ Strengthen the immune system: It’s been scientifically established that chia seeds improve the immune system. ^[2]

⦁ Weight loss: The seeds increase satiety and reduce body fat. ^[3][4]

⦁ Normalize blood sugar levels: Some studies identify chia seeds as a possible intervention to help manage diabetes and regulate blood sugar. ^[5]

⦁ Inflammation and Pain Management: Chia seeds are regarded as one of the best seed for arthritis due to their anti-inflammatory and pain management properties. This could offer a solution to people suffering from knee pain and joint pain ^[6][7]

⦁ Mental Health: Tryptophan in chia seeds aids in relaxation, sleep, and other beneficial mental effects. ^[8]

⦁ Prevents cancer: Studies show that chia seeds contain antioxidants such as kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid that exhibit antiaging and anticancer properties. ^[9]

⦁ Horse feed and Pet food: Since they’re nutrient-dense, have a long shelf life, and lack strong scents/taste, chia seeds are ideal for pet food and horse feed.

⦁ Antioxidant Properties: Antioxidants in chia seeds aid with healthy skin, hair, and nails. ^[10]

⦁ Digestive Health: The seeds are rich in important nutrients that help cleanse the colon and get rid of toxins.

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.
