Why are chia seeds so good for you?
Chia seeds are absolutely amazing for your health! We love eating them several times a week, but admittedly, it can be kind of hard to work them into your diet. That’s why we love this easy chia pudding recipe. It’s one of the best recipes for eating a LOT of chia seeds in one meal.
Major dietary guidelines we abide by recommend chia seeds as a primary food source – and for good reason. A study and review reveals the rather impressive list of dietary and therapeutic effects of regular consumption of chia seeds.
Benefits of Eating Chia Seeds as a Primary Food in Your Diet:
- One of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids available
- Anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) effects due to antioxidant profile and activity
- Stabilizes blood sugar levels (improves metabolic health)
- Prevents heart attacks and strokes
- Improves blood pressure levels
- Reduces cholesterol
- Inhibits (dangerous) blood clotting
- Boosts immunity
- Helps with development of retina and brain in babies when mother consumes during pregnancy
- Has a declining effect on triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol
- Anti-inflammatory
- Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety effects
- Eases symptoms associated with Celiac Disease (or gluten intolerance)
- Improves and eases joint pain
- Improves kidney health
- Antiviral properties
Chia Seeds are a Quality Source of Key Nutrients and Minerals:
- Protein
- Fiber
- Fat
- Calcium
- Potassium
- Magnesium
- Phosphorous
- Selenium
- Copper
- Iron
- Manganese
- Zinc
Chia seeds also proved to benefit metabolic health.
The high fiber content of chia seeds proved beneficial in preventing diabetes by slowing down digestion and the release of glucose. This is important, even for those who aren’t diabetic. Maintaining healthy and balanced blood sugar levels has a high impact on overall metabolic health. Metabolic health is one of the 4 Nutrifitx Health Pillars.
Metabolic disorders are one of the leading causes of most diseases and cancers. Only 12.2% of Americans are considered metabolically healthy. It’s extremely important for us to be working on improving our metabolic health without the use of medication. (A byproduct of metabolic health is maintaining a healthy weight.)
Another part of metabolic health is healthy levels of triglycerides and cholesterol (without the use of medication). Chia seeds were shown to improve peristaltic movement (this is the movement that pushes food through your system), thus reducing plasma cholesterol levels.
A third aspect of metabolic health is maintaining a healthy blood pressure (without the use of medication). As noted above, chia seeds also proved to improve blood pressure levels.
If the benefits of chia seeds alone in this recipe aren’t enough to convince you of the medicinal properties of this easy chia seed pudding recipe, check out the other reasons we love chia pudding!
This Easy Chia Pudding Recipe is 100% Nutrifitx Approved! Here’s why we love this recipe so much…
You already know what makes chia seeds so good for your health, but altogether, this easy chia pudding recipe has tons of other metabolic health and weight loss supporting properties.
Here’s what makes this easy chia pudding recipe so amazing for you:
- It’s a yummy way to consume A LOT of chia seeds in one sitting. You can add chia seeds to lots of foods (oats, smoothies, smoothie bowls, ice cream, etc.), but we don’t typically add more than a teaspoon or so. This recipe allows you to consume a good amount while maintaining its flavor.
- It’s 100% dairy free. Although you could use dairy milk for this recipe, we like using almond milk. (Oat milk is another good option.) What we love about almond milk is that it’s low calorie but high in nutrients. It is fortified, which makes it almost like a multivitamin. Plus, around 70% people experience negative digestive effects when consuming dairy.
- It’s high in quality protein. Not only do chia seeds actually have a pretty good amount of protein, but we’ve also added a high quality protein supplement to improve satiation and blood sugar balance. Check out our favorite proteins below the recipe!
- Cinnamon has all kinds of benefits for the body including healing properties, antioxidants, and blood sugar balancing compounds, just to name a few. (If you want more vanilla flavor than cinnamon, feel free to omit this ingredient.)
- Pairs well with all kinds of healthy toppings. Berries, fruit, nuts, and even a healthy (reduced sugar) granola are great options! (We also love including a little sweet vanilla coconut cream – this is the white layer in the pictures. We’ll add the recipe below!)
