As September comes to an end, we are wrapping up the first annual “September is Salba Month” here on Evolving Wellness.
For our wrap up, I thought what better thing to write about then to share with you some facts and answers to popular Salba questions.
You may have heard about Salba yourself and be wondering if it is the same as Chia. You may have a certain disease or condition and be wondering if Salba is right for you. Or you may even be a new mom and wonder if Salba is safe to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Well if you have any of these or other questions about Salba I will try to answer them for you in this article.
Salba - Salvia hispanica L - a seed, a grain, a nutritious super food!
As I mentioned to you in last month’s review, during the month of September I will be featuring various Salba products on Evolving Wellness and giving you more information on this amazing super seed. Perhaps you have already read the review about the Salba Flats.
I am excited to share this little seed with you as I know many people today are still unaware of this little super seed and the potential that it has where their health is concerned.
However it was not always so that the world did not know Salba. This seed was once widely used by the Aztec population of South America and sustained this culture for hundreds of years.
Hence in today’s article, to begin, I want to share with you a little bit about the history of the Salba seed. Secondly, I would like to give you a general idea where Salba stands today by introducing the products they carry that contain the powerful seed Salvia hispanica L.
Currently the number of people choosing a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is steadily increasing on the planet.
The top two reasons people give for making this lifestyle/diet shift and why it is gaining popularity so quickly today are as follows:
1) Health benefits - we know too much today about the definite links between animal-products and diseases.
And
2) Being against animal cruelty - we know too much today about how inhumanely the animals are treated that later end up on our plates.
But did you know that an animal-product free or reduced diet can also have a huge benefit on the environment and help decrease climate change?
Well it’s true - and in fact it can have such a big impact that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently urged people to eat meat-free at least one day a week if they want to make a personal change to help tackle global climate change.
