Chi, Chi, Chi, Chia!

Shawn

I’m in love with chia… what can I say.  Not only is it a full spectrum nutritional powerhouse, but there’s just something about it that keeps me feeling better than usual every time I have it.

For centuries chia was prized by the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.  It was a true staple food, and a special key in the Aztec warrior’s diet.  It’s been documented that warriors subsisted on chia seeds during battles and long hunting expeditions.  Basically what this is telling you is that this food can truly sustain you and help you to thrive during long periods of stress (I guess this is why I’m so in love with it).

The first factor in chia’s resilience and value as a superfood is its excellent ratio of Omega-3 fatty acids.  It’s likely the highest natural source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid).

ALA is a building block for the transformation of EPA into DHA, which basically means that it’s a POTENT brain food! [click to continue…]

Guacamole Tradicional (Superfood Guacamole)

Shawn

When people that are truly into health and fitness get together to eat and party, you literally need a security guard on duty to protect the guacamole bowl. Why is this??? Because this ugly looking dish is strangely seductive, and it actually tastes ridiculously good!

Guacamole dates back to the great Aztec civilization. They called it ahuaca-mulli, which means “avocado mixture” or “avocado sauce”.

The base of the guacamole is the unique avocado fruit, which the Aztecs prized as a health-giving aphrodisiac.

The Aztecs also utilized the highest protein food in the world, spirulina, which is now gaining enormous popularity today. Spirulina is approximately 70% protein by weight. It’s also incredibly rich in antioxidants, enzymes, polysaccharides, chlorophyll, minerals, trace minerals, essential vitamins and more! This is a superfood in the true definition of the word.

These two traditional Aztec food staples have a natural affinity toward each other, which you’ll find out when this recipe of the week pushes your pleasure button. Make this guacamole recipe and it’ll be the high light of the next party: [click to continue…]

Top 10 Vegetarian Sources of Protein

Shawn

Protein is essential for building, repairing, and maintaining the human body.  It’s such an important nutrient that it’s actually responsible for the results we see in our genetic expression.  This means that the diseases you have (or don’t have) and the size and shape of your body are determinant upon the action of proteins in your system.

The whole trouble is when we take such a complex form of health and nutrition, and lump it all under this label called “protein.”  What proteins are, and what they do, are as variant and complex as anything in nature. [click to continue…]
