Chia seeds originate from the Salvia Hispanica plant. They are a powerful superfood with incredible properties that should be part of a balanced and healthy diet.<\/p>\n
Chia is a seed considered a superfood with several health benefits, which include improving intestinal transit, improving cholesterol and even reducing appetite, as it is rich in fiber and vitamins.<\/p>\n
Due to its high fiber content, chia can prevent rapid increases in blood sugar levels, controlling blood sugar levels, which is excellent for controlling type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, it reduces the glycemic index of foods due to its fiber content, preventing sudden hunger pangs.<\/p>\n
Also due to their fiber content, chia seeds increase bowel movements, preventing constipation. However, for this to be effective, the seeds must be consumed properly hydrated, otherwise they can harm bowel function, increasing the risk of colitis, for example.<\/p>\n
Chia seeds can absorb a large amount of water and, therefore, form a gel that takes up some space in the stomach, reducing the desire to eat.<\/p>\n
Chia has a good amount of omega 3, which acts in the body by reducing inflammation, controlling cholesterol levels, preventing atherosclerosis and protecting the body from cardiovascular and brain diseases, improving memory and mood.<\/p>\n
