In this difficult economy we are cutting back on all our expenses, but we can't afford to short our health. So it's important to know the best and most sensible way to protect it, even when we're budgeting. A recent article from the Mayo Clinic referred to the Journal of American Medical Association, JAMA, on the importance of diet, indicating that:

*More than two thirds of all deaths in the U.S. are diet related!

*And, 50% of all deaths are caused by coronary occlusion, the blockage of blood flow to the heart or the brain!

The good news is that one product, a raw food of Chia seeds, recently rediscovered, and now available in a proprietary mix called Mila, has the kind of remarkable properties that not only directly relate to the prevention of these medical observations, but have a whole lot of other health benefits as well. Here are 5 of the most important preventative health benefits that this super food provides:

1. Omega-3 fatty oils. The Mayo Clinic reports that this substance found in fish "appears to reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack by a third or more" and it recommends salmon as having the largest amount of these oils. Omega-3 oils are also believed to lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, reduce cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. The one raw super food carries 7 times the concentration by ounce of salmon, without the risk of any contamination, like mercury.

2. Antioxidants. It is believed that foods such as berries, and other fruits and vegetables, but especially blueberries, are effective protection against many types of cancer, coronary and Alzheimer's disease. This one super food has 3 times the antioxidant as blueberries.

3. Weight Loss. Obesity is a national epidemic with almost 1 out of 5 of our children obese or overweight with many more at risk, and 8 out of 10 adults over 25 overweight. This super food is also a hydrophilic colloid, that is, a substance that can absorb more than 12 times its weight in water, making a gelatin substance that maintains and regulates the bodies absorption of nutrients and body fluids and keeps one feeling satisfied and thus a natural diet/weight loss enhancer

4. Vitamins and Minerals. The super food contains by volume:

" 6 times the calcium of milk

" 2 times the iron of spinach

" 14 times the magnesium of broccoli

" 1 ½ the potassium of bananas

" As much vitamin C as 7 oranges

5. Energy Booster. The super food, by virtue of it extensive hydration properties, together with its natural regulated delivery of nutrients to the body is an energizer of endurance both to the body and the brain. The ancient Aztecs, who used Chia seed extensively, called it the "running seed" because of the strength, endurance and energy it provided.
