Table of Contents
Introduction
In this section, as we talked about in the first section, we will help unfold all the awesome health benefits provided by the little seeds we call chia seeds.
High in fiber: finding foods high in fiber is not only important because it can help you being regular with your bowel movements, but it can also help you reduce your cholesterol levels. Only 1 ounce of chia seeds can impressively provide you about 10 grams of fiber; that is just about half of your recommended fiber intake for the day!
Diabetic prevention: Diabetes is scary and more common than you know. If you are predisposed to the disease, please read about chia seeds and how they can help you. What happens when you ingest chia seeds is that they help control your high blood sugar by slowing down the circulation of sugar in the blood. So, they do help monitor just as always consult your specialist if you need to be on a special diet because of the particular medical condition.
Calcium intake: It is so important for your bone and teeth health to get enough calcium a day; you need to read this. Chia seeds can contribute about 20% of your daily recommended calcium intake with just as little as 1 ounce of them ingested. Calcium is helping your body avoid blood clotting and regulate your heart and blood pressure.
Other vitamins and minerals: Other than calcium, chia seeds can also provide your body with the following: phosphorous, potassium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and vitamin B.
Weight loss helper: Now, everyone will tune in here because everyone at some point or another wants to shed a few pounds off their bodies. There is never a miracle ingredient or food that can make you lose weight; you should always aim for a healthy diet and regular exercise. But, here is how chia seeds can contribute: because of their amount in fiber, it appears that chia seeds can, on the same token, help dieters reduce their intake in carbs and sugar, as they get a satisfying amount of fiber and proteins. They feel full, and they will not overeat as much.
Filled with antioxidants: We talk a lot about antioxidants lately because we care more and more about feeling and looking younger as long as possible. Antioxidants contained in chia seeds are important enough to help to keep you look young. Another big plus side is that antioxidants will help also prevent cancer.
Do you need more convincing about the multiple amazing benefits of the little chia seeds? That is okay if you do! We will add more to your knowledge in the last section of the book, but for now, let us start cooking!
Almond Milk, Pecans and Chia Seeds for Breakfast
This recipe is so good making you will think to yourself. How did I go so long without it? It can be served, of course, as a breakfast dish, but always as a dessert. This is how good it is. Also, feel free to choose other nuts than pecans if you prefer, such as walnuts, almonds, or cashews. Let us begin.
Serving Size: 2
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Get two tall glasses out.
Divide the milk equally and the chia seeds next.
Let the seeds soak in the milk and get bigger.
Add the pecans on top and the touch of honey.
Serve very cold.
Chia Seed and Tuna Patties
This is the perfect example of adding chia seeds to an existing recipe. I was trying to think about what recipes I make quite often that would have a benefit from a little dose of chia seeds. Then, I thought of a few options. These tuna patties are easy to make, and adding chia seeds to them does not alter the taste. Also, this is one of the recipes I did teach my college student because it is cheap and rich in proteins, so I feel extra good that he would also add some chia seeds to the mixture.
Serving Size: 4
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, chia seeds, lemon juice and mayonnaise.
Let the mixture sit a little.
Add the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, spices, horseradish sauce, and green onion.
Use your hands to form the tune patties. You probably have enough to make 4 large patties or 6 smaller ones.
Heat the oil in a large pan to a frying temperature.
Add all the patties in the pan and flip after 7-8 minutes cooking on one side.
Cook on the side the same amount of time and remove from the pan.
