🌿 Key Benefits of Chia Seeds

• Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids – supports heart & brain health

• High fiber content – aids digestion, gut health & weight management

• Protein source – great for vegetarians & vegans

• Antioxidants – protect against oxidative stress & ageing

• Bone health – contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium

• Energy & stamina – known as an “endurance food” (Aztec & Mayan tradition)

💠 How to Use Chia Seeds

• Soaked in water/milk – makes a gel-like drink (chia pudding, smoothies)

• Topping – sprinkled on salads, cereal, yogurt, porridge

• Baking – in breads, muffins, healthy bars

• Egg substitute – 1 tbsp chia + 3 tbsp water = 1 “chia egg” (vegan binder)

• Should be taken with enough water, as they absorb many times their weight in liquid.

• People on blood thinners or with low blood pressure should use cautiously (due to Omega-3).
