According to Dr. Weil "Chia is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids, even more so than flax seeds. And it has another advantage over flax: chia is so rich in antioxidants that the seeds don't deteriorate and can be stored for long periods without becoming rancid. And, unlike flax, they do not have to be ground to make their nutrients available to the body. Chia seeds also provide fiber (25 grams gives you 6.9 grams of fiber) as well as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin and zinc."
HealthWarrior.com explains the benefits of eating Chia.
A 16-oz pouch of chia contains the same as:
- Fiber of 4 pounds of oatmeal
- Protein in 3 lbs of tofu
- Antioxidants of 2 pounds of blueberries
- Omega-3s in 10lbs of salmon
- Calcium in 4 lbs of 1% milk
- Magnesium of 15 pounds of broccoli
Add chia to anything!.. soups, smoothies, baked goods. You'll notice that it soaks up water.. so, just add more water to your recipe. It really is that easy. This gooey substance is basically what will happen in your belly.. slowing digestion and absorption.
And who wouldn't want that?
