The benefits of chia seeds

1. Chia seeds are excellent for the heart

Chia seeds are effective in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Numerous studies have shown that these little seeds can lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and prevent clogged blood vessels. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium and potassium, chia seeds contribute to better cardiovascular health.

2. Chia seeds facilitate transit

Chia seeds are rich in fiber, so they’re very useful for healthy transit. Fiber aids digestion and reduces stomach acidity. Are you constipated? Perhaps that’s where the solution lies.

3. Chia seeds strengthen bones and teeth

High in calcium, chia seeds strengthen teeth and bones. Would you like to reduce your consumption of dairy products? Incorporate 100 grams of chia seeds into your daily diet and you’ll meet 20% of your daily calcium requirements. You’ll also fight the risk of osteoporosis more effectively.

4. Chia seeds moisturize the skin

Chia seeds deeply nourish the skin. The proteins present in chia seeds help skin regenerate by repairing tissues. Thanks to omega-3s, proteins soften skin and give it greater elasticity. Do you suffer from skin irritations? Chia seeds can be an excellent help.

5. Chia seeds help you lose weight

A diet based on chia seeds will help you feel less hungry, as they have an impact on appetite. They have satiating properties and can be useful for people with eating disorders. But before embarking on a chia-seed diet, check with your GP.

6. Chia seeds promote sleep

Chia seeds are rich in tryptophan, an animate acid capable of producing serotonin and melatonin. These two hormones will help you relax, regulate your mood and sleep better. They are also effective in combating stress.

7. Chia seeds help prevent certain cancers

Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants. Eating them regularly therefore helps prevent cell aging and the onset of certain cancers. On the other hand, health authorities advise against chia seeds for people with or at risk of prostate cancer, as they contain high levels of alpha-linolenic acid.

8. Chia seeds are excellent for the brain

With 20% omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds are also good for brain function. They help protect the brain’s arteries and improve communication between cells. At the same time, they promote memory and concentration.

9. Chia seeds help prevent diabetes

Chia seeds also help regulate blood glucose levels, by slowing the rate at which carbohydrates are digested. They are therefore recommended for preventing diabetes, but also for people with diabetes. All you need to do is eat 1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seeds a day.

10. Chia seeds boost stamina

Chia seeds were used by the Aztecs as a source of energy and endurance. They enable the body to assimilate proteins more efficiently and stay in shape all day long. We told you you couldn’t live without it!
