MIXING BOWL SMALL YET MIGHTY Don't let their size fool you—chia seeds may be tiny, but their health benefits are enormous! ‘Abundance of Acids little-known fact about chia seeds is that theyre a plant-based complete protein, which means they contain all nine of the essential amino acids that can't be produced by the body and must come from diet. Theyre alsoa rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce or decrease cholesterol, blood pressure and inflammation. Better Bones Chia seeds are naturally chock-full of vitamins and nutrients. They also contain particularly high amounts of magnesium, phosphorus and calcium, which are vital for overall bone health and maintaining bone mineral density. Infact, 3 tablespoons of chia seeds contain more calcium than aglass of milk, or about 18% of your daily value. Good for Gut Health Along with being a great source of fiber (each 10z. serving contains 10 grams), chia seeds boost vitamin and mineral absorption in the stomach. They can even act as a prebiotic ‘and aid your stomach in the production of “good” gut bacteria, which in turn keeps your digestive system ‘working properly. ‘Sogo ahead ‘and eat up! ee Ts fete) Penrice’ Dee og eas tae rs Dearie aaa pecs eet ony Preeti Toes rs.
