Chia seeds are quite remarkable . They are a super food you should know about and begin to incorporate into your diet since they have so many life giving benefits. Chia seeds are the best plant source of Omega 3’s; even more than salmon and flax seeds.They are loaded with antioxidants equivalent to the amount in blueberries.  For the winter season they are especially good since we don’t get fresh blueberries in the south this time of year.

Here are just a few other benefits of this amazing food:

1.Helps to balance blood sugar.. How? Because it contains soluble and insoluble fiber  it helps to slow down your body’s conversion of starches into sugar. If you eat Chia with a meal, it will help turn your food into constant energy.
