Description
The popularity of chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) in Western diets has soared over the last several years.
Chia seeds deserve a place on any superfood list. They are high in fiber, provide healthy fat, and are a source of antioxidants.
Chia seeds may help control blood sugar and adding chia seeds to normal type 2 diabetes treatments improve cardiovascular disease risk and helps maintain good glucose and lipid control.
Chia seeds have omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce your risk of coronary artery disease and improve cholesterol levels. Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants and have a longer shelf life.
