Yes.. You saw that right!! Chia seeds are the tiniest bundle of goodness with a blast of Vitamins and Minerals that we struggle to get in our everyday food. The fiber is too high that it is visual treat to see it swell in the water.
Facts:
- One of the highest ‘Omega-3 fatty acid’ containing food in the vegetarian food source that is also affordable.
- A great source of ‘Calcium’ to those who don’t tolerate Dairy products (Lactose intolerant).
- Categorized as a coolant to the body. Feel like you get a lot of heat boils, take a spoon of chia seeds everyday with plain water/ lime water.
- Searching for some vegan ‘Iron’ source, go for Chia seeds.
- And the final word, the ‘antioxidants’ would be able to protect you from heart disease, cholesterol and hypertension for up to 80 years of age if you make sure to take a spoon daily.
Oh! And don’t worry about the calories there.. It has too high a fiber value to cause any weight gain.
Nutritionist Recommendation:
Take a spoon of Chia seeds after your meals to help you keep your blood sugar and cholesterol levels under control. But not recommended for consumption in empty stomach (early mornings) as it may cause hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels).
