9 Amazing Benefits of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are a super food that come from Central America. Because of their nutritional properties, they’ve become very popular all over the world in the last few years.
Chia seeds are known for their small size and a light, nutty flavor. This helps them to easily go with other foods. As a result, it’s easy to add them to your diet.
For decades, they’ve been valued for their high number of essential nutrients. Among these, the amount of omega 3 fatty acids, fiber, and proteins stand out.
At the same time, they have powerful antioxidants and essential minerals. After being absorbed, these counteract the negative effects caused by free radicals.
In fact, it’s an energizing ingredient that contributes to putting you in the best physical and mental condition. It keeps your body active during the day.
If that wasn’t enough, they’re very filling and help you to keep feeling full. This is perfect for people who are trying to lose weight.
I put Chia seeds in my daily smoothie and also in my evening yogurt. SOOOO good for you :-)
I absolutely love chia seeds! i struggle to drink water but when i add them to my water I can drink litres of it! thanks for the amazing blog and information
I love chia! I've started to blend them with unsweetened chocolate and a little honey until completely smooth. It is exactly like chocolate pudding. The quality can be as high as you like, it just depends on the type pf chocolate used.
Great article!
It's pretty much hipster caviar that gets transported around the world for no good reason using lots of energy. The "anti oxidants / free radicals" narrative is questionable, too. I'm almost surprised that there are no "detox" claims being made as well, haha. The only interesting thing about them is not even mentioned here: that you can use them to thicken sauces. I still need to try that.
I love Chia Seeds, been having them for a while now. I add them to pretty much all my foods :)
