Chia Seed Pudding

With 2 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber in each tablespoon, chia seeds will help keep you satiated for hours. Chia balances and stabilizes your blood sugar because it slows the effect at which glucose enters the bloodstream, making it ideal for diabetics and those wanting to prevent diabetes.

Chia will make any meal more joyous, in other words, “healthier”. 

Healthy recipes that will not cause the blood sugar spike
Rich in protein, minerals and fiber, chia seeds also contain 500% more calcium than milk and the same amount of omega-3s as wild salmon.

Omega-3 fatty acids will help reduce any muscle inflammation you may have after a tough workout.

Home Remedies For Warts

Warts are small benign growths on the skin, caused by a variety of related, slow-acting viruses HPV (human papilloma virus). There are at least sixty known types of HPV. Warts may appear singly or in clusters. We will talk about three types of warts: Common warts, Plantar warts, and genital warts.

An essential component of their most successful longevity techniques is called "turtle breathing," which is an eight-minute breath. Giant turtles are known to live for hundreds of years. They commonly submerge themselves in the water and hold their breath for more than five minutes at a time. Turtle Breathing instructions below are provided by   Bruce Frantzis. Another Turtle Qigong form is "Golden Turtle" can be seen in Mantak Chia's Iron Shirt Chi Kung and Wang DiXian's Tai-chi Nei-gong 24 styles (in Chinese).

Instruction below are from Iron Shirt Chi Kung by Mantak Chia.   I also found The 10
