Chia Seeds
Yes. That kind of chia. The tiny black and white ancient seeds are chock full of protein making this the latest option for vegetarians. It packs a good 4.4 grams of protein per serving. It is high in Omega-3 fatty acids and fibre as well. These both have direct links to greater cardiovascular function as well as higher immunity. Mix them in salad, blend them in a smoothie, or bake them into your sweet and savoury treats. Shop for them at your local grocery shop or fine food retailer.

Kava
Known also as "kava kava" or "cava", this cure all has been around for centuries. The Polynesians still serve it as a tea to their honored guests and is more revered than alcohol. The benefits are almost endless but it is most commonly used as a relaxation aid and soothing pain reliever. It is know to take away tension, help with migraines and menstrual cramps. We know a few people who never have their medicine cabinet empty of kava. Wtith all of the benefits, we think we agree.
