The listing, 100 Chia Seeds has ended.
Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Fiber
Chia seeds are a nutritional powerhouse, full of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Chia seeds, unlike flaxseeds, are readily available without having to grind them first and can be stored for longer periods of time without them turning rancid. One serving of chia seeds can also provide you with one-third of the amount of fiber you are recommended to consume per day. Due to their high content of omega-3s and fiber, chia seeds may help you lose weight. They can help you stay fuller longer and help your body eliminate any unnecessary toxins.
Blood Glucose and Lipid Balancer
Chia seeds may have the ability to stabilize blood sugar levels. Chia seeds, when eaten, form a gel inside your stomach during digestion that slows down the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar. This allows your body to feel satiated for longer periods of time, gives it more constant energy, and eliminates blood sugar spikes. Chia seeds may also stabilize your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In a study published in the January 2009 issue of "The British Journal of Nutrition," researchers found that consuming chia seeds can help prevent high cholesterol and high triglycerides as well as reduce the amount of overall fat accumulation.
Fluid and Electrolyte Stabilizer
Chia seeds have hydrophilic properties that make them an effective fluid and electrolyte stabilizer. According to the website Living and Raw Foods, chia seeds have the ability to absorb 12 times their weight in water. Therefore, eating chia seeds could help you maintain more nutrients and regulate your bodily fluids, eliminating the possibility of dehydration. Since chia seeds keep you hydrated, they may be a great addition to your diet, especially if you are an athlete or an avid exerciser.
