CHIA semínka - Zdraví, energie, omlazení a chuť do života – Hamannová Brigitte (2016)

As far back as 3,500 years ago, the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas used chia seeds as a source of energy as well as a means of healing and rejuvenation. They were the most valuable offerings brought to the local deities. Nowadays, chia seeds are considered a superfood because, in addition to their satiating function, they serve as a reliable means of protecting against diseases and contributing to healing, beauty, and rejuvenation, as attested by world-renowned personalities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom. They contain 70% more protein than soy, 25% more fiber than flaxseed, 30% more antioxidants than blueberries, sufficient easily absorbable calcium, and rare fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, as well as B vitamins. Chia seeds maintain smooth and fresh skin, support hair growth and shine. Dishes and drinks made from them are a powerful source of energy, while also aiding in weight reduction and achieving slimness. The experienced author did not overlook introducing readers to recipes for soups, dishes, sweets, salads, and drinks that, in addition to the aforementioned benefits, also alleviate issues such as thyroid problems, circulatory system disorders, or heartburn.
