When looking to improve your health, heal from disease, or make wise food choices, the simpler the better. Taking 'baby steps' is the best way to start seeing progress. I have found one of the best 'baby steps' in health to be chia seeds. Following are some of the benefits of consuming chia seeds:
- Highest known plant source for omega-3 (62-65%)
- High in calcium-5 times more than milk (600 milligrams of calcium in 100g)
- High in protein (19-23% protein by weight) and complete with all the essential amino acids
- A very high anti-inflammatory natural food
- High in vitamins and minerals
- Raw and unprocessed natural seed
- Loaded with antioxidants
- Prolong hydration and retention of electrolytes
- Great for all ages: infants to the elderly
- Hundreds of ways to incorporate it into your families diet (sprinkle on salad or porridge, add to cooking and baking)
- More energy
- Improved concentration
- Relief of aches and pains
- You feel GREAT!
- Positive mood changes
- Feel happier and healthier
