Right after I stopped chemical relaxing my hair, my first stop was the vitamin shoppe. At that time they were the only ones carrying some natural hair products in my neighborhood , before sally's and Walmart; I went there to buy some vitamin and fitness supplement since I was a few pounds up, lol. Shopping there I came across Chia seed, read the package and brought the seed home, at that time I didn't know what to do with them and how powerful they are..
Chia is a member of the mint family. The seeds are either white or black and both types are highly nutritious. Originally grown in Mexico and the Southwest between 1500 and 910 B.C., Chia seeds were an important part of the Aztec and Mayan diet. Aztec warriors used Chia as their main source of fuel during conquests. Medicinally, they also used it to relieve joint pain and stimulate saliva.

Chia seed can benefit you tremendously if you are trying to lose weight. The Chia Seed is a dieter’s dream come true. The tiny, healthy seeds can be made to taste like whatever you want, and their unique gelling action keeps you feeling full for hours.
If exposed to water, it forms a coating of gel, increasing its size and weight. Since the gel is made of water, it has no calories. It’s also difficult to remove from the seed, meaning that it helps your body think it is full, without adding calories!
