I am from tropical Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia. I studied at the university called UPSA and I worked as a food engineer at Nestle and now at Bolivia chia seed exporter Chia-Direct.com
chia seeds and its effect on my natural beauty and health.
Chia-Direct is a relatively new company (started in 2008) with an even newer food product chia seeds. I love to work with this product because my personal interests are beauty and health.
While I was a student at UPSA I started working as a photo model so here I have learnt how to take care of my body. I have also learnt that in fact beauty comes from the inside, this means that if you eat unhealthy food, or smoke or use alcohol you should not be surprised that your body and especially your skin and your looks will go bad. For example chia seeds contain so many fatty acids such as omega 3 (3 times more then fish) that it has a positive effect on beautiful hair and nails.
For pregnant women chia seeds are recommendable because the chia seeds thru its omega 3 and its abundant potassium ensures a healthy pregnancy. Indirectly last but not least, consuming chia seeds reduces fatigue and stress and improves sleep. Looking and feeling sleepy does definitely not improve your natural beauty.
So as a model and as a food engineer I believe that internal health is closely related to outside beauty. This is why I eat chia seeds in several different recipes, here is much more information on delicious chia recipes. In short this is why chia seeds are also a true superfood.
