Charismatic Planet

Chia seeds are considered to be a “super food” and for good reason. Aside from being highly nutritious, they are loaded with antioxidants, lower risk of heart disease, as well as containing vital nutrients that support bone health, like calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. They can also help reduce blood sugar, due to their generous viscous fiber content, which is highly beneficial to those with diabetes. A study involving 77 adults that were either overweight or obese, with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, consumed chia seeds that supported their weight loss and maintained good glycemic control.
