Michael Perez: i have 10 reasons you would love chia seeds

Combat Diabetes
Chia is being studied as a potential natural treatment for type-2 diabetes because of its ability to slow down digestion. The gelatinous coating chia seeds develops when exposed to liquids-can also prevent blood sugar spikes.

Get More Fibre
Just a 28-gram or one-ounce serving of chia has 11 grams of dietary fibre — about a third of the recommended daily intake for adults. Adding some chia to your diet is an easy way to make sure you're getting a good amount of fibre, which is important for digestive health.

Stock Up On Omega-3
Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, with nearly five grams in a one-ounce serving. These fats are important for brain health. "There's better conversion of omega 3s into the plasma or into the food than with flax seed," said researcher Wayne Coates.

Stronger Teeth And Bones
A serving of chia seeds has 18 per cent of the recommended daily intake for calcium, which puts your well on your way to maintaining bone and oral health, and preventing osteoporosis.

Don't Forget Manganese
Manganese isn't a well-known nutrient, but it's important...

Didi: A friend recently lost some weight and I asked her why she would get so thin, and she said she wasn't trying to lose weight. She started putting these Chia seeds in her water and she lost weight. I'm not sure they are good for weight loss, but I bought them and did what she said. I put 3 teaspoons (she said she does 2) in my 23.7 oz bottle of Arrowhead water everyday, then I put it in the fridge so it stays cold and leave it in there for at least an hour or two. She does hers the day before, so she always has one ready. The Chia seeds fluff up with a slimy coating (not sure what else to call it), and the first time I drank it, it was odd literally chewing on my water. The Chia seeds only took up 20% of the water area, but I like to shake it so I get some with every drink/bite. I drink 3, 23.7 oz. of water minimum per day, but now, 1 of them is fortified with the Chia seeds. After one week, I can honestly say (okay, this is personal, but I buy based on honest reviews and like to help others, too) that one "movement" per day is more "exceptional" than the others that day. It's usually in the morning, and after just 1 week, I literally feel better. I recently lost weight and started...

Ronald M. Chavin: The short-chain omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, is close to useless in improving our health. The average American can convert only about 3% to 5% of it into what he or she really needs, the phospholipid-based long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. So what are the real reasons why chia seeds are healthy for us?

(1)Chia seeds are high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber partly blocks the absorption of calories from fat. Also, soluble fiber feeds the good bacteria in the human digestive tract and greatly increases their numbers. The good bacteria manufacture beneficial chemicals which (1)kill the bad bacteria, (2)lower blood pressure, (3)cause weight loss, (4)prevent cancer, (5)prevent clogged arteries by improving cholesterol numbers, and (6)prevent constipation.

(2)Chia seeds are high in lignans. Lignans are phytoestrogens that prevent heart disease, cancer, and many other killer diseases. To derive the full health benefit from lignans, we only need to eat an extremely, extremely, extremely small amount of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds every other day.

(3)Chia seeds are high in phytate. Phytate is a powerful antioxidant that prevents heart disease,...
