CHIA SEEDS CONSIDERED A MIRACLE FOOD
Hello everyone. While we have talked about popular foods in our other articles, I thought chia seeds should not be overlooked. I wanted to talk about chia seeds, which were once a part of everyone's diet and whose consumption increased due to their 'slimming' effect. Sir, first of all, I would like you to know that no food or nutritional element has a slimming effect on its own. So, I would say do not expect a sudden decrease in your weight just because you include chia seeds in your diet.
Of course, chia seeds are not without their benefits.
- Chia 100 grams of seeds contain 17 grams of protein. Therefore, it is a good source of vegetable protein
- Chia seeds are also very rich in fiber. It contains approximately 11 grams of fiber in 100 grams.
- It helps regulate bowel movements because it is rich in fiber. With regular use, it helps eliminate problems such as constipation and gas.
- It contributes to preventing the formation of cancerous cells thanks to the abundant Omega 3 acids it contains.
- Chia seeds, which are also rich in calcium, help muscle development. . It prevents muscle loss that may occur with regular use and diseases such as osteoporosis that may occur in later ages.
- It is also very beneficial for dental health as it contains plenty of calcium and vitamin A. It meets the calcium and vitamins your teeth need with regular use. It helps them be healthy.
Yes, we have taken a look at its benefits, but there are a few situations that restrict the use of chia seeds. We must be careful when consuming chia, as it may interact with some medications, and we must pay attention to its effects after consumption, as it may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
And as we said for every food, we must also pay attention to the amount of consumption. Well, we bought chia seeds, but if you are wondering how we can consume them, I have a few suggestions. Chia seeds, which are first consumed by mixing them with milk or yoghurt, swell and turn into a gel-like consistency, increasing our feeling of fullness in our stomach. Another way to consume it is in salad form, such as flaxseed, which we mentioned before. You can also sprinkle it on your plate or consume it with your fruit smoothies. Let's say be careful about fruit portions.
We talked about the benefits of chia seeds and how we can consume them. Of course, it can be included in our daily diet, but if we do not like the taste very much and we do not have a consumption habit, I think there is no point in forcing ourselves because it makes us lose weight.
Because the main thing for us in the diet is to learn how to eat healthy with the foods and food groups we have a habit of consuming. .
So, I wish happy days when we all eat healthy, dear followers...
