CHIA CANADA - Omega-3 Diet, Nutrition, Energy:

I came across this interesting article regarding chia seeds, that I just had to pass onto you. It's just Amazing...

In 1998, Cirildo Chacarito, a 52 year old Tarahumara Indian from Copper Canyon region of Mexico, won a 200 - mile run in California sponsored by a major athletic shoe company.

He beat a field of hundreds of competitors who had more than a half-hour head start.

The Amazing thing about this is Cirildo competed against some of the world's best young endurance runners. He didn't have the fancy running equipment and hi-tech training that the others had, he didn't even train for the event himself.

He arrived in a native homemade pair of sandals. What did Cirildo do that the pros didn't do?

He ate chia seeds before and during the race. Something his ancestors have been doing for centuries. They knew that eating chia seeds gave them the energy and endurance to keep going without feeling tired.
