Here are 7 surprising benefits of chia seeds you probably didn’t know, but might appreciate!
1. Long-lasting Energy
Chia seeds were used by the Aztecs and Mayans as “battle food” because they provide long-lasting energy thanks to their unique blend of complex carbohydrates, proteins and good fats.
Perfect for athletes or busy days!
2. They aid digestion (no bloating)
Thanks to their very high soluble fiber content, chia seeds:
They help regulate intestinal function and
improve bacterial flora,
but they don’t ferment like other seeds, so they cause less bloating!
1 tablespoon contains about 5 g of fiber!
3. Deep cellular hydration.
The seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight in water, forming a gel.
