Salvia hispanica L., more commonly known as "chia", was virtually lost for 500 years.  This once prominent Aztec agricultural crop and dietary mainstay was pushed into obscurity when Spaniards conquered the ancient Aztec civilization.  If not for a few Aztecs, who fled into the hills and cultivated the seed for their personal use,chia would have been lost forever.  Years of research had been done to determine how to dramatically increase this seed's potency, effectiveness, and bio-availability via timing of planting and harvesting, farming in different climates, and harvesting techniques.  At each stage the seed was improved until we achieved what we have today.  Chia's resurgence into the modern 21^st century marketplace could potentially alleviate the health concerns of millions.

Mila Nutrition

Omega-3 Fatty Acids  Mila may contain the highest amount of omega 3s in the plant world.  In the 1970s and 80s, the "fat-free" diet craze took all fats out of our diet, including the good ones.  Now we know the impact that healthy fats have on our general well-being.  The alpha linolenic fatty acid (ALA) found in Mila is known as the only essential omega-3 fatty acid which must be consumed because the body cannot manufacture it.  The fatty acids in Mila are a near perfect balance, plus there is no cholesterol.

Protein   Protein is found throughout the body in hair, nails, outer layers of skin, muscle tissue, the inner structure of bones, and red blood cells.  Protein is used by the body to perform many functions In the body including building and repairing body tissues, hormone production and carrying nutrients throughout the body.  Mila is a great source of protein and contains both essential and non-essential amino acids.

Fiber  A number of studies have found that a high intake of total fiber contributes to a healthy heart and circulatory system.  High-fiber diets may also modulate blood sugar levels.  Since fiber is filling and has very few calories, high-fiber foods may also help with weight loss.

Antioxidants & Phyto-nutrients   These two components have recently been recognized as being important to human  health, but are not necessary for life.  Of interest is the fact that phyto-nutrients may act as antioxidants, but not all phyto-nutrients are antioxidants.  Antioxidants in foods can be divided into two main groups or categories, with each having similar, as well as different, benefits in terms of human health.  The two groups are Vitamins and Minerals and Phenolic Compounds.

Lifemax Story

Welcome to Lifemax...  We all want to live a healthy, long and vibrant life.  Unfortunately, for many countries around the world, life spans are decreasing rather than increasing.  The experts agree that the changes to the traditional western diet are largely to blame.  The negative effects of high fructose corn syrup, sugar, salt, fast food, saturated fats and lack of exercise have brought society to its knees.

More drugs will not cure this decline.  We need to provide the body with the nutrition that it has lost.  With the introduction of Mila, we are making a bold step forward in helping the body to heal itself by providing the essential nutrition that it needs to be healthy.
