The Critical Role of Dietary Fiber
The role of
dietary fiber has increasingly grown in prominence since as early
as 1860 with the advent of the technology for refining sugar,
followed soon thereafter by improved milling methods that began
removing the fiber from flour. Improvements in rail and sea
transport along with refrigeration, enabled the distribution of
these foods to a worldwide marketplace. Prosperous, more
industrialized countries were predominantly the beneficiaries of
these new wonder foods. Simultaneously, the populations of these
countries began suffering en masse with digestive and bowel
disorders. In the recent 50 years as three generations have come
to pass, the prevalence of these and multiple related disorders
have reached a critical peak. Foodstuffs have become so de-natured
that they are almost unrecognizable from their whole, original
state. Current statistics are undeniably revealing:
Up to 100 million Americans suffer from varied forms of
digestive diseases with an estimated total in lost wages and
medical costs of over $50 billion per year. Approximately 200,000
people miss work every day due to these disorders.
Health
statistics show that more Americans are hospitalized with
digestive tract disorders than any other group of diseases. These
medical costs tower at more than $20 billion per year.
The
annual sales of prescription and over the counter drug products
for digestion related maladies has grown to $2.5 billion per year,
increasing at a steady rate of 10% over the last decade,
contributing substantially to our overall health care costs. These
include laxatives, antacids, anti-hemorrhoidal and anti-diarrheal
preparations.
What is Super Seed?
Super Seed is an
extraordinary whole food formula that supplies your body with a
highly usable, nutrient dense, vegetarian source of dietary fiber.
Super Seed™ is a whole food blend of certified organic and
chemical free seeds, sprouted grains and legumes, abundant in
mucilaginous soluble fiber, and rich in essential fatty acids and
lignans. Each of the ingredients in Super Seed were specifically
chosen for their exceptional ability to enhance and support bowel
health. As with all Garden of Life formulations, this ingredient
blend is potentiated with our exclusive Poten-Zyme process of
lacto-fermentation and enzymatic activation ensuring maximum
bio-availability and absorption.
Why is Fiber Important?
Death begins in the colon,
and so too does vibrant health. Choosing to supply your body with
adequate dietary fiber on a daily basis is an important co-factor
in bowel and colon super health. The following are some of the
many essential functions that dietary fiber performs in the body:
*Reduces risk of colon cancer
*Escorts cholesterol and
triglycerides out of the body
*Stimulates pancreatic enzyme
activity
*Slows glucose absorption thus stabilizing blood
glucose levels by slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into
sugar, creating a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the
digestive enzymes that break them down
*Aids in weight loss by
providing a feeling of fullness
*Reduces calorie absorption
*May ease Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Enhances the absorption of bile acids and salts
May aid in
the prevention of some metabolic diseases
Assists in the
elimination of sluggish bowel and constipation
May lower blood
pressure, help decrease allergic response, and provide relief in
inflammatory conditions
Important for the respiration of vital
organs in transporting oxygen into the blood stream, cells, tissue
and organs
Helps to maintain resilience and lubrication of the
cells by binding with protein and cholesterol to form living
membranes that hold body cells together
What's in Super Seed?
FLAX SEED: Nature's most
abundant vegetarian source of Omega 3 fatty acids, vitally
important for streng1 the heart and arterial walls, lowering
cholesterol, reducing high blood pressure, diminishing insulin
requirement acuity, brain development, adrenal function and sperm
formulation. Flax Seed is the richest known source of "lignans", a
constituent of fiber that promotes anti-tumoral, anti-viral,
anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antioxidant effects in the body.
CHIA SEED: A staple food used
by the Indians of the southwest and Mexico, Chia is known for its
remarkat capacity to absorb more than 12 times its weight in
water. Chia Seeds allow the body to regulate more efficiE body
fluids, while maintaining the electrolyte balance. The high oil
content of the Chia Seed makes it a bountiful source of Omega 3
essential fatty acids.
SPROUTED QUINOA (keen-wa):
Consumed for thousands of years as an indigenous food of South
America, Quinoa's origins are truly ancient. Greatly revered by
the Inca civilization as the "mother grain", Quinoa is touted in
modern day as a perfect food, due to its impressive nutritional
profile. It is considered to be a complete protein comprising the
full essential amino acid spectrum. It contains more protein than
any other grain; an average of 16.2 percent, with some varieties
more than 20 percent. Its amino acid balance is similar to that of
milk. Quinoa is high in lysine, methionine and cystine,
constituents of protein that are often very low in other grains.
In addition to protein, its unique profile supplies carbohydrates,
natural sugars, unsaturated oil (especially high in linoleic
acid), vitamins and minerals, and is an excellent source of vital
dietary fiber.
SPROUTED AMARANTH: Once a
staple food of the pre-Columbian Aztecs, Amaranth first found its
way to the Americas from China, and eventually reaching Mexico as
early as 2000 BC. Primarily thought of and used in recipes as a
grain, Amaranth is actually a fruit whose bushy plant grows 5-7
feet, with a distinguishing intense red or magenta flower head
displaying itself in exquisite feathery plumes. Each plant is
capable of producing 40,000 - 60,000 edible seeds. Amaranth is
notably high in protein, 15-18 percent, and contains exceptional
amounts of calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorous and vitamins A, C
and E. The germ of the Amaranth Seed is high in linoleic rich
unsaturated oil. Most notable is its impressive fiber content,
which is 3 times higher than wheat.
PUMPKIN SEED: Dating back
over 7,000 years to its origins in Central America, Pumpkin Seeds
are known to be a potent healing food ir urinary tract and
prostate health. They are an excellent fiber source high in
phosphorous, iron, calcium, vitamin A, folic acid, niacin and
essential fatty acids.
SUNFLOWER SEED: Native to
North America, the Sunflower was first grown and used by the
American Indians. Sunflower Seeds have ar impressive nutrient
profile, containing significant amounts of calcium, iron, copper,
magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. In addition, they are an
excellent source of protein, the B vitamins, carotenoids and Omega
6 essential fatty acids. Most notably, Sunflower Seeds are higher
in dietary fiber than all other seeds and nuts.
SESAME SEED: A traditional
food in oriental and Middle Eastern cultures, Sesame Seeds have
been used medicinally to relieve constipation, stiff joints,
backaches, weak knees and is considered an overall strengthening
food. High in protein, niacin, calcium, copper, iron and
significantly in magnesium - Sesame Seeds also contain substantial
unsaturated fat and dietary fiber.
LEGUME FIBER BLEND: A high
fiber blend of Garbanzo, Red Lentil, Kidney and Adzuki Beans, rich
in naturally occurring B-complex vitamins, calcium, potassium,
phosphorous, iron, zinc, folic acid and omega 3 and 6 essential
fatty acids. Legumes are an excellent vegetarian source of protein
and contain significant amounts of dietary fiber.
MILLET: The chief cereal
grain for millions of people in India, China, Africa, Russia and
throughout Europe - Millet is most noted for its high silica
content, an important component for the nervous system, tendons,
skin, nails and hair. It proudly contains no gluten, significant
for those on a gluten-free regime, and is abundantly rich in
digestible dietary fiber.
BUCKWHEAT: Not actually a
grain, but the seed of an herb, Buckwheat is a dietary staple in
the hardy northern climates of Russia and Brittany. It contains
substantial amounts of lysine, calcium, vitamin E, the entire B
vitamin complex, and is especially noted for its high leatrille
(vitamin B17) content. As well, it provides a good source of
dietary fiber.
CINNAMON: A potent harmonizer
with considerable medicinal value, Cinnamon stimulates digestion
and exhibits antiseptic properties. Studies have shown that it
strengthens insulin activity, helping the body process sugars more
efficiently.
The Poten-Zyme Process
Each of the nutrient dense
ingredients in Super Seed utilizes a natural proprietary process
of lacto-fermentation and enzymatic pre-digestion called
"Poten-Zyme" (Poten-tiation by Enzym-atic activation). This
exclusive delivery system employs 14 strains of beneficial
probiotic micro-organisms within a whole food matrix, thereby
liberating valuable medicinal compounds, and enhancing
bio-availability and absorption of healing properties as much as
2-5 times. Note: The Poten-Zymem process makes the seeds
and legumes used in Super Seed significantly easier to digest; by
neutralizing phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, and breaking down
difficult to digest complex sugars, thus reducing the flatulence
usually associated with beans and seeds.
