Acid Reflux Symptoms – The Miraculous Chia Seed Remedy!

Reflux Gone Forever

We've all seen those funny little clay animals that sprout hair

when watered. They are covered in chia seed. They have been

around for years and have become an American tradition. Who would

have thought that those same tiny seeds would now be considered

an important source of nutrition? Chia comes from the Aztec word,

" chian " , which means oily. It is high in omega-3 fatty acid; in

fact it has more than any other grain – even more than flax seed.

It has the perfect omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. This unsaturated

fatty acid is essential for most successful functions of the

body.

Since 2,500 B.C. chia seed have been used as human food. Known as

" the running food " , these seeds were cultivated by the ancient

Mayans and Aztecs. We are just now beginning to discover the

importance of this grain.

Chia is loaded with calcium, boron and other necessary minerals;

antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. It is a complete source of

protein, with all the amino acids in perfect balance. It is

indeed the perfect food. The ancient Aztecs valued chia to the

extent that it was traded as currency. In those times anything

which could increase endurance and control the appetite, was

considered invaluable. It enabled them to sustain themselves on

long hunting expeditions and war raids. Chia seed has the ability

to absorb approximately 12 times its weight in liquid. Because of

this factor, it is a dieter's dream come true. If made into what

is called " chia gel " , it becomes a nutritious drink that fills

you up, thus decreasing the appetite. To make this gel, simply

add 1/3 cup chia seed to two cups of water. Stir well, breaking

up any clumps and store in the refrigerator for twelve hours

before drinking. You can store it there for at least two weeks. I

make mine in a glass bottle with a tight fitting lid.

Drinking a third cup of chia gel at the onset of acid reflux can

eliminate it for many people. Try drinking that much three times

a day. It might prevent acid reflux from occurring at all. I know

of people who swallow a teaspoon of raw seeds if they experience

acid reflux. The seeds absorb the acid just as they do water. Of

course you wouldn't want to ingest too much raw seed at a time

unless you have a tremendous amount of acid... it might absorb

your stomach. It is best to be conservative and find out what is

effective for you.

Chia has other beneficial qualities, as well. It has a neutral

taste. It is very easily digested and assimilated. It is soothing

to the stomach and esophagus and it has healing properties. Like

slippery elm, it is rich in mucilloid soluble fiber, thus

allowing it to quell the burning pain of acid reflux in the

esophagus and stomach. In ancient times the Indians used it to

prevent infection and accelerate healing time, by packing the

seed into open wounds. Chia gel can be incorporated into many

other foods without diluting flavor, while displacing fat and

calories. It works brilliantly to enhance flavor while replacing

fat. For these reasons, chia gel should be an important, if not

vital, part of the acid reflux diet.

For breakfast it can be mixed with hot oatmeal, pancakes, and

biscuits dough. It's delicious mixed into scrambled eggs. Ground

chia seed can be used in baking bread or as a simple topping on

many dishes. Use chia seed gel in yogurt, jams and jellies. Its

great mixed into polenta, grits, smoothies and milk shakes. Try

it in you favorite blended health mix drink.

Chia gel can be added to soups, salad dressings and even the

stuffing that you put in a chicken. The possibilities are

practically endless. Try introducing ¼ cup of chia gel into your

favorite potato salad recipe, reducing the mayonnaise, in like.

It can be used in many baking recipes as a substitution for fat.

Put it the kid's food. They will never know the difference, as

it actually enhances the flavor of food. They will love it! Feed

it to your dogs. I put it in my fourteen year old Jack

Terrier's food every day. Not only does he have better digestion

and energy, he has better bowel movements. By the way, the F.D.A

considers chia a food with an established history of safe

consumption.

Chia gel slows the release of carbohydrates and their conversion

to glucose (blood sugar). So, besides controlling acid reflux,

loosing weight, increasing endurance, chia has the added benefit

of reducing blood sugar and hypertension. Because of its high

unsaturated fatty acid content, it can even help with prostate

problems. I do not think anyone could go wrong by making chia

seed a part of their every day life. Because of its incredible

health-giving aspects, chia seed is the perfect food for

everyone. It is certainly a Godsend for the acid reflux sufferer,

in so many ways. So try chia seed now. You have nothing to loose

but a little weight. You could improve your digestion and overall

health. It's certainly worth a try.
