Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are highly nutritious and have a high amount of fibers. One ounce of chia seeds contains 11 grams of fiber per serving. The presence of viscous fiber allows chia seeds to absorb water, increases the level of food that goes through the digestive tract, and gives utmost satisfaction. Chia seed is also known to reduce blood sugar level and blood pressure; it also reduces feelings of hunger. They contain large amounts of antioxidants that provide stability to the cells by fighting against unstable molecules known as free radicals produced during metabolism. Chia seeds can reduce the inflammatory marker CRP in diabetic patients by 40%. Excess CRP increases the risk of heart disease. It is important to know that chia seeds do not provide sufficient protein required for breakfast, so combining with a lean protein is good.
