Salvia Hispanica L.
Did our Creator make a PERFECT FOOD?Stunned researchers now say "YES." Gram for gram, this amazing discovery packs awesome amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids, plus:
- 6 times more calcium than whole milk...
- 15 times more magnesium than broccoli...
- 3 times more antioxidant power than fresh blueberries...
- More fiber than flaxseed...
- More protein than soy...

It's a grain you've never heard of, yet the ancient Aztecs prized it more highly than gold. They fed it to their athletes, used it as medicine, even offered it to their gods...
Ancient Aztecs believed it gave them supernatural
ENERGY & POWER...
This super-grain turns out to be the
"bread of heaven"
FOR YOUR HEART!
Gram for gram, Salba has 8 times more Omega 3 fatty acids than fresh Atlantic salmon...Let me be clear that I'm not knocking salmon. I love it! Salmon contains different kinds of Omega 3, including high amounts of DHA and EPA -- while Salba's Omega 3 content is mainly in the form of alpha linolenic acid. I believe it's best to have both forms of Omega 3...
promote healthy heart functions...
- Maintain healthy cholesterol levels...
- Keep your blood pressure right where it's supposed to be...
- Support a healthy cardiovascular system...
1. Salba quickly absorbs 12 times its weight in water. That's phenomenal. More than twice as much as flaxseed. This is a key reason why Salba is so incredibly soothing. Just like a wet sponge glides across a counter, Salba helps your food glide calmly and cleanly through your digestive tract.
2. Over 35% of Salba is fiber, considerably higher than wheat bran or flaxseed. You'd need to eat 1 - cups of bran to get the fiber in just a few ounces of Salba.
3. Salba doesn't taste like sawdust! Its flavor is neutral, so it just "disappears" when you stir it into your favorite breakfast food or shake.
Plus, of course, those other foods won't give you Salba's incredible energy boost...
 Constipation cleared! No matter what I ate or took, I had constipation... [now] I have never felt better." -S. Winston, Houston, TexasLoose stools stopped! "I have loose stools [but] Salba has helped firm them up!" -Mark H., Nevada Bloating banished! "Can't remember the last time I was this regular. I don't feel bloated and irritable anymore!" R. Finnely, Buffalo, New York |
"It's been a Godsend for MY ENERGY!"
--Danielle G.
No more fatigue or jitters! Salba powers you up as smoothly as a Rolls Royce engine...
Ancient Aztecs called it their "running food." Legend has it that just a spoonful of Salvia Hispanica L. was enough to power an Aztec runner through a grueling, 24-hour forced march...
And my desk is stacked with letters attesting
SALBA'S ENERGY BOOST IS NO MYTH
"120% more productive! I could barely get out of bed, until Salba!" -Jared L., Arizona
"Energy without nervousness and more stamina. I am 71 years old -- now I'm able to stay up longer at night and sleep so well!" --Danielle G.
"I no longer need naps and that is really great for a 75 year old! I have more energy to go shopping, out to lunches with friends!" --Janet W., Arizona
And this is jitter-free energy. Not the kind you get from caffeine-drenched drinks that leave you to crash and burn.
ZERO CAFFEINE As a doctor, I'm outraged that so many so-called energy drinks and foods are just "caffeine in a costume." They give you the jitters, then keep you awake all night -- and you wind up more exhausted than ever. But Salba energizes you honestly, by restocking your nutrition banks, and helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. You'll have the stamina of the energizer bunny, then drop off to sleep, relaxed! |
HOW CAN THIS BE? I believe it's because Salba is such a complete superfood. It provides at least three "energizers" that your tired-out body has been missing:
ENERGIZER #1. Over 30 different nutrients in their whole food form. Every tiny grain of Salba is like a "neutron star" of nutrients that your body desperately needs. And any doctor will tell you that it's always best to get your nutrients in the form of food.
ENERGIZER #2. Super-rich fiber. All the fiber in Salba slows down your digestion, giving your nutrients an even better chance of getting absorbed. It also evens out your absorption of carbohydrates, so your cells get a slow, smooth supply of fuel.Yet even though it pumps you up so powerfully, Salba actually makes you less hungry...
ENERGIZER #3 Muscle up! With nature's PERFECT PROTEIN FOOD. Vegetarian or not, your muscles need plenty of protein to stay strong and toned. Salba is not only richer in protein than soy -- its protein is more complete. Unlike soy, Salba's protein contains all the essential amino acids that your body needs to build muscle. And it's not processed with chemicals, as so many soy products are. That's why I call Salba the perfect protein source. You get all the protein benefit of eating red meat, without the risk.
Pumpkin-Chia Seed Muffins Adapted from Mom-A-Licious by Domenica Catelli
From Dr. Oz Reveals the Ultimate Checklist for Great Aging
These muffins are delicious, easy to make and great for you. Enjoy them hot out of the oven and keep extra for lunchtime snacks for the kids (or you) during the week. Pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant, beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is one of the plant carotenoids converted to vitamin A in the body. In the conversion to vitamin A, beta carotene performs many important functions in overall health. Current studies link diets rich in foods with beta-carotene to reducing the risk of certain types of cancer and protection against heart disease. Chia seeds can be found at some health food stores.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds, ground (use a coffee or spice grinder)
- 1 cup whole wheat or whole grain flour
- 1/2 cup white unbleached flour
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 16 oz. can organic pumpkin (make sure there is only pumpkin listed on the ingredient list)
- 2 eggs
- 1?4 cup high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup pure maple syrup (or 1?2 cup agave nectar or a combination of the two)
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pre-heat oven to 350°.
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix all wet ingredients.
Fold the wet ingredients (fold in nuts now if you are using them) into the dry ingredients and spoon into paper-lined muffin or greased muffin tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Store completely cooled muffins in sealable plastic bags in the freezer.
