Chia seeds (Spanish sage) are a product rich in valuable omega-3 fatty acids (they contain more than salmon), magnesium, calcium, iron and many other vitamins and minerals. The seeds are classified as superfoods, i.e. food that has a positive effect on health. The high level of omega-3 acids means that chia has a positive effect on the circulatory system, and in combination with a high fiber content, it additionally helps to reduce the level of "bad cholesterol" and triglycerides. The aforementioned fiber is very beneficial in the fight against excess kilograms. It supports the functioning of the digestive system, and the seeds themselves, combined with water (milk or yogurt), swell, filling the stomach and giving a feeling of satiety. Because Spanish sage seeds provide a large amount of protein, they are recommended for vegans and vegetarians, and the calcium and phosphorus contained in them strengthen teeth and bones while reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Due to a number of health-promoting properties, it is worth introducing chia seeds into your daily diet as an addition to oatmeal, cocktails, desserts or salads.
