Anorexia, Bulemia, Bingeing...societal dictation of perfection, peer pressure, low self esteem...who hasn't experienced at least one of these? I was an anorexic teen, a bulemic young adult, and later I sought comfort through food as a binge eater. I have never fit society's mold. I have suffered from low self esteem and caved in to peer pressure. I now struggle with gluten intolerance, hypothyroidism, and arthritis.
Now I strive to do what is RIGHT by my body, mind, and spirit. However, I do even still find myself pushing past hunger and forgetting to eat when I am chaotically busy or being creative. Today is one of those days, and I am happily keeping my stride with a fresh fruit smoothie, fortified with my Mila:) There are times when I do not feel like eating, let alone chewing due to fatigue, sinusitis, or a TMJ flare-up. I have found it easy to relate to my patients who suffer from simlar conditions or are simply going through so much toxic treatments they lose their appetites and also elderly folks who fail to thrive and refuse food due to dymensia or alzheimer's. Food and I have long held a love/hate relationship until one day when I had an epiphany:
Food in its natural, organic, whole form is not our enemy - preservatives, GMOs, and over farmed/pesticide ridden foods are. In this world of (in)convenience high-fat, low-nutrient fast foods, we must do EVERYTHING we can to insure we get the highest nutrient density in the foods we eat. Why? So our bodies are not fighting against themselves (resulting in auto-immune diseases) but fighting against the ridiculous barrage of toxicities that agro-biz, western medicine, and the culture of greed assaults us all with on a daily basis!
Give your body what it needs to build new, healthy cells - high density, nutrient dense, plant-based foods! Eaten in their raw form, you will be giving your body everything is needs to thrive in our otherwise toxic world.

MILA...A WORLD of DIFFERENCE!!
This Miracle Seed has the highest and safest concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, Antioxidants, Fiber and Phytonutrients of any source on the planet. It is non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) and pesticide-free!
Mila, by Lifemax, is gluten-free, trans-fat free, sugar-free, high in fiber and protein, has no taste or smell and can be deliciously combined with many foods! Its supreme biological properties are not diminished by heat in the cooking process, therefore making it easy to incorporate into your favorite recipes.
Mila™ is a mixture of Salvia hispanica L. seed which has been carefully selected to maximize its nutritional value. The mixture is mechanically processed using a proprietary system that optimizes the bioavailability and increases its nutritional value. Nothing is added to the product – it is a pure form of Salvia hispanica L. and is simply the best available today.
Mila’s Power For Improving Health
Loaded with Omega-3′s, Fiber, Antioxidants and many other vital nutrients, Mila, by Lifemax, offers a variety of opportunities to improve your overall health and well being.
Heart Disease
Given today’s typical dietary habits, finding additional sources of Omega-3′s is more important than ever. Mila contains the perfect ratio of 3:1 (3 Omega-3′s to 1 Omega-6). Omega-3′s are clinically proven to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, help stabilize heart rhythms, lower blood pressure, act as a natural blood thinner and increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Anti Aging
Every ninety days your body regenerates nearly all of its seven-to-ten trillion cells? When healthy, stronger, smoother, more elastic cells are properly regenerated, the aging process is slowed. Mila by Lifemax:
* Fights free radical damage
* Mila’s antioxidants act to neutralize the free radicals that cause premature aging.
* Flushes out age-accelerating toxins
* Helps regain youthful exuberance
* Improves skin elasticity
* Promotes hair, skin and nail enhancement
* Enhances joint lubrication and reduced inflammation
* Reduces muscle soreness and speeds rejuvenation
* Lowers lactic acid buildup in muscles
Weight Loss
Mila is so nutrient dense that the equivalent quantity of nutrients can only be acquired by consuming a combination of the highest food sources of those nutrients, an amount of food that represents approximately 6 times the calories of Mila. For example, consuming 3½ oz. of Mila results in about 6 times fewer calories from the combined best sources of the same nutrient. In addition, Mila’s exceptionally high level of Tryptophan (an amino acid that suppresses appetite) may relieve hunger pangs. Mila by lifemax, can easily be used in formulating meal replacements.
Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure
Mila has a vasodilatory effect by increasing the size of the arteries and thereby lowering blood pressure. This is a similar effect achieved by some prescription-type medications and should work just as well for women as it does for men.
Menopause
Mila, with its high Omega-3 content, may enhance and balance hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Mila may help reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause and help maintain a positive mental outlook.
Breast Cancer
Preliminary research at the University of California, Los Angeles suggests that Omega-3′s may help maintain healthy breast tissue and deter breast cancer.
Prostate Cancer
Numerous studies show that diets high in Omega-3′s and fiber may help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. A Duke University Medical Center pilot study concluded that even short-term changes to a high-fiber/Omega-3 supplemented diet resulted in prostate cancer cells that did not divide as quickly as those in men not on the diet. Mila with its high Omega-3 and fiber content, is an easy and simple way to include these necessary nutritional benefits into your daily diet.
Gastro-intestinal Health
Mila is also a hydrophilic colloid. This important property aids in the digestion of food and helps control excess acids associated with indigestion, heartburn, sour stomach and ulcers. Mila’s unique soluble fiber content combined with its hydrophilic colloidal properties makes a gel in the stomach that creates a physical barrier thereby “lining” the stomach to prevent irritation.
Osteoporosis
Per serving, Mila contains six times more calcium than milk, which prevents against bone loss. Mila is a rich source of other essential minerals like phosphorous, magnesium and iron, all of which aid in the absorption and utilization of calcium by the body.
Mental Heath
The International Journal of Clinical Practice tells us that much research (including research from Harvard) has linked low levels of Omega-3′s in the body with mood disorders. Omega-3′s are believed to keep the brain’s pattern of thoughts, reactions, and reflexes running cohesively and efficiently. Clinical trials have concluded that Omega-3′s may reduce the risk of various psychiatric disorders and Alzheimer’s disease.
Type II diabetes
Mila’s nutrient dense qualities have been clinically proven to significantly improve metabolic control of diabetes. In an acute study, after-meal blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were reduced thereby improving insulin sensitivity. In a long-term trial, blood pressure was reduced. High blood pressure is the major cardiovascular risk factor in those with Type 2 diabetes.
Prenatal Health
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that Omega-3′s are very important to nourish the developing brain of the baby and to the mental health of the mother. Mila also contains essential amino acids, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals including folate (folic acid) all of which are extremely important in fetal development. Warning: Flax is a thyroid interrupter and should be avoided during pregnancy. Mila is 100% safe for pregnancy.

EUREKA!!!!
I have FINALLY discovered a nutrient-dense food that I can believe in!!! Let's face it - not everyone can afford organics. That leaves the rest of us with commercially grown foods that have been overgrown and therefore do not present with their optimal nutrient densities. This is due to the depleted soils and toxins our food sources are subjected to by the current nature and nightmare of agrobiz!
I've been keeping my eyes open for a while - open for something I could bring to you that would exponentially raise the quality of your diet, decrease the threat of lifestyle illnesses, and replace the very foods that are causing malnourishment and disease today... Suddenly, happily, this amazing food found ME!
Here's the basic rundown on just how beneficial this food is:
* It has 8x more Omega 3's than Atlantic Salmon (farmed or wild)
* It has 6x more calcium than milk
* It has 3x more iron than spinach
* It has 2x more potassium than bananas
* It has 15x more magnesium than broccoli
* It has 2x more fiber than bran flakes
* It has 6x more protein than kidney beans
* It has 4x more selenium than flax seeds
* It has 9x more phosphorus than whole milk
and
* It has more antioxidants than blueberries!
* It is so filling and satisfying, consumers report that your monthly grocery bill will actually DECREASE!
Want to find out more on what has turned my WORLD happily down-side-UP?? READ ON MORE ABOUT IT ALL HERE! You KNOW that I am ALL about keeping it frugal - well, let me assure you - there are many opportunties on just how to do so! Interested in how you can get this amazing food for your family at wholesale prices? Ask me!! :)
