Chia seeds--don’t let their size fool you. They’re actually chock-full of nutrients. For starters, chia seeds are an excellent source of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. They also contain fiber, iron, and calcium. Put simply, they’re among the healthiest foods on earth with their plentiful brain and body benefits. Today, let’s get into the good things that will happen to you when you eat chia seeds daily. Will it help strengthen your bones? What about your heart health? Let’s find out next so just keep watching. What are chia seeds, by the way? Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from a mint-related plant called Salvia hispanica. Centuries ago, chia seeds were eaten by Aztecs and Mayans, mostly because of their ability to provide sustainable energy. Notwithstanding their dietary staple history, it’s only recently that chia seeds were presently recognized as a superfood. And so, what exactly do they do to our body? 1. Promotes better bone health Bone-important nutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein can all be found in chia seeds. Particularly for calcium, chia seeds have impressively high content, even higher than most dairy products. So, if you’re not too fond of dairy, then consider eating chia seeds as an alternative source of calcium. 2. Keeps your teeth healthy Aside from keeping your bones strong, the calcium content in chia seeds also plays a major role in maintaining good dental health. Additionally, boron, a fundamental nutrient found in chia seeds aids in metabolizing calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus for stronger teeth and bones. 3. Reduces the risk of diabetes According to studies, chia seeds may reduce the rise in blood sugar after a high-carb meal. High fasting blood sugar levels are a common symptom of type 2 diabetes. This symptom is also associated with an increased risk of various chronic diseases. 4. Helps prevent constipation Chia seeds are loaded with fiber, which helps improve digestion. What’s more, due to the insoluble fiber found in chia seeds, they turn into a gel when they’re mixed with water. This substance contributes to a better bowel movement, thus, preventing constipation. 5. Helps improve skin Omega-3 fats are used to combat wrinkles and acne, as well as bring moisture back into the skin. Eating chia seeds every day can help you solve such skin concerns. No wonder many skincare products these days are made with extracted chia oil, be it in a form of moisturizer or lip balm. 6. Reduces free radical damage Another aspect that makes chia seeds extremely beneficial is their high antioxidant content. Antioxidants from foods are known to provide positive health effects. One of these is to fight the production of free radicals. Free radicals can damage cell molecules and can lead to aging and cancer. 7. Supports weight loss Although not the highest in levels, chia seeds still have decent amounts of protein. Compared to most plants, 14% protein from chia seeds is already plenty. Protein has numerous benefits and one of these is being the most weight loss-friendly dietary nutrient. Put simply, it can lower appetite and reduce food cravings.
