For centuries the tiny Chia seed was used as a staple food by the Indians of the south west and Mexico. Known by the Indians as "the running food", it was used as a high energy endurance food and was recorded as far back as the ancient Aztecs. It has been reported by historians that the Aztec warriors subsisted on the Chia seed during the conquests. The Indians of the south west would eat as little as a teaspoon full of Chia seeds when going on a 24 hour forced march. Indians running form the Colorado River to the California coast to trade turquoise for seashells would only bring only the Chia seed for their nourishment.
The Chia seed is known to have hydrophilic properties -- having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weigh in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration. Fluids and electrolytes provide the environment that supports the life of all the body’s cells. Their concentration and composition are regulated to remain as constant as possible. With Chia seeds, you retain moisture, regulate, more efficiently, the bodies absorption of nutrients and body fluids. Because there is a greater efficiency in the utilization of body fluids, the electrolyte balance is maintained.
