I have found that "Whole Oats" that come in a cannister, is great for breakfast, or even perhaps a snack. It fills you up, is extremely healthy, no salt, good for cholestrol, losing weight...........put in the microwave for about a few minutes.
It has no salt. I just add a little skim milk and sometimes a sweetner. I love this in the Winter.................I am so glad a friend told me about it. Buy Generic,
as it is much cheaper, and takes the same

I am taking Complementary and Alternative Medicine course right now which is very research focused. If you have any questions about supplements and alternative remedies, now is the time to ask me while I still remember :)

Natural products are relatively poorly understood. While some (aspirin) can be therapeutic, others (hemlock) are dangerous.

Investigators have now discovered that quercetin, an antioxidant found in apples, is associated with kidney cancer. We've posted a short article about quercetin and supplements as a cautionary reminder.

The subject is CHIA - the healthiest and truly amazing all-natural RAW ‘super wholefood' on the planet!Did you know that CHIA Seeds are the highest plant source of Omega-3’s known to man? They are high in fibre, antioxidants and so many other vital nutrients.

CHIA is Salvia Hispanica L. - A uniquely beneficial seed (which is a member
of the mint family - so free of pesticides). Originally discovered by the Aztecs
in South America, who used it for its many excellent properties, and was
known as the 'Running Food'.

CHIA is a great source of endless energy!

All CHIA BIA™ seed is sourced and approved by Dr Wayne Coates who is
the foremost expert in the world on the growing and harvesting of Salvia
hispanica L. and the rediscoverer of the seed. Dr. Wayne Coates has
conducted extensive research in order to identify the seeds, growing
regions, climates and other factors which influence CHIA's properties. This
research gives him the knowledge with which he can select seed sources to
not only ensure that the highest quality of seed is used in CHIA BIA™, but
also that rigorous cleaning processes are used to ensure that CHIA BIA™ is comprised of only the highest quality, and cleanest seed.

-inflammatory properties: Chia seeds are the highest source of the essential fatty acid
OMEGA 3 making them a powerful anti-inflammatory. It has been shown to bring considerable relief to the pain associated with arthritis and other similar conditions. It eases aches and pains caused by ageing, old injuries and increases joint movement.

High blood pressure: significant reductions have been seen.

Cholesterol levels: reductions of 25% have been noted within 10 weeks of starting Chia.

Heart disease: Chia is recommended to maintain heart health and improve patient outcomes. People who eat an ALA (alpha Linolenic acid) diet are less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack.

Type 2 diabetes: Chia seeds form a physical barrier between carbohydrates and digestive enzymes slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar thus reducing blood sugar levels and diminishing sugar peaks and troughs.

Dry skin conditions e.g. dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis. Chia has been reported as easing these conditions and promoting wound healing

Digestive disorders: Chia has been reported as bringing relief to digestive disorders such as Crohn's disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Note: Those with IBS or inflammation of the bowel should start slowly with 1 teaspoon and over the course of a month increase to

2 - 3 teaspoons. Chia seeds are high in fibre and will regulate your system to where it should be. Their tiny dinosour -egg like shells break down quickly. .Chia is also suitable for those with Celiac disease as it is completely gluten free. Chia seeds have a high fibre content making it effective in treating constipation especially that associated with the side affects of medication.

Brain health: Chia helps improve concentration it has provided relief from depression and children with ADHD and Autism have shown some improvement.

Improved Energy levels: Chia gives us more energy during the day and more importantly at the end of the day. This is not jumping out of your skin type energy as associated with caffeine but you won't be as tired as you used to be.

Hormone levels: Chia will help balance hormone levels and reduce the symptoms associated with PMT, painful periods and menopause.

Natasha, I've heard and read the opposite is true with anti-depressants. People tend to gain weight not lose it with these drugs. It's a side effect, unfortunately for those of us who want to keep our weight down.

Does anyone have thoughts or experience with resveratrol to help with weight loss and increasing energy?

Also, can anyone recommend a protein powder I can add to hot/cold cereal? I like cereal but it doesn't stay with me and I get a crash in my blood level after a while unless I have protein with carbs.
