Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are extremely high in fiber and low in digestible carbohydrates which make them great add-ons to your meals. They lower blood sugar levels, thanks to the viscous fiber they contain which slow down carbohydrate absorption in the gut. Chia seeds also make you feel fuller longer after a meal, decreasing your cravings between feedings, ultimately lowering blood sugar and insulin levels in the blood. Lastly, chia seeds reduce blood pressure and help relieve inflammation caused by obesity.
