This fight against obesity in America seems like an uphill battle. With faster pace lives than ever before, many people are grabbing fast foods, prepared foods, which are convenient, but not good for your health or your waistline.
Health Warrior To The Rescue
Experts are shedding light one of the main causes of poor health and obesity being the overabundance of Omega 6 fats (cheap oils) in ‘convenient’ foods. It throws off the balance the body, which needs healthy fats, Omega 3 fatty acids, which your body has to get from an outside source.
Chia seeds are growing in popularity as more and more health-minded consumers realize the benefits these mighty little seeds pack in such a small package. One-quarter the size of a grain of rice, pound for pound, Chia has more Omega 3 fatty acids than salmon, more fiber than oatmeal, more protein than tofu, more calcium than milk, and more magnesium than broccoli.
Health Warrior, the company known for its delicious and nutritious chia food products and pioneer of this summer’s favorite superfood, debuted three new Chia Bar flavors this month, providing your health-minded readers even more options for guilt-free snacks on the go!

More facts about Chia seeds:
Chia seeds are a complete source of protein, providing all the essential amino acids in an easily digestible form. They have 2 times the protein of any other seed or grain, 5 times the calcium of milk, plus boron which is a trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones, 2 times the amount of potassium as bananas, 3 times the reported antioxidant strength of blueberries, 3 times more iron than spinach and abundant amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, in the correct balance (which is the key). Chia seeds also contains all eight essential amino acids and a host of trace minerals and micronutrients and is a soluble fiber.
Like flax, chia is highly ‘hydrophilic’ – the seeds absorb water and create a mucilaginous gel. They can hold 9-12 times their weight in water and they absorb it very rapidly – in under 10 minutes. This is very healthy for your digestion.
Health Warrior Chia Bars are 100 percent natural, nutrient-rich snacks with around 100 calories each and packed with the ultimate superfood, Chia. As the only bar on the market boasting Chia seeds at its #1 ingredient, Health Warrior Chia Bars come in three distinctly delicious flavors: Acai Berry, Coconut and Chocolate Peanut Butter.
Health Warrior is a young company founded by Dan Gluck and Nick Morris, former NCAA Division 1 athletes and everyday Health Warriors. They discovered Chia seeds after reading the popular 2009 book Born to Run, where the Tarahumara Indians are reported to run up to 100 miles without shoes, sustained by the mighty Chia seed. Gluck and Morris, intrigued by this epic story, embarked on further research and realized Chia is the greatest superfood unknown to mankind.
