contribute to slower absorption of glucose by controlling blood sugar levels, while increasing intestinal transit time as Whose contains a significant amount of soluble fiber and has a relatively high viscosity from other dietary fibers;
contains large amounts of antioxidants;
increases the resistance of the body due to the omega-3 and vitamins;
stimulates and improves the digestive tract and controls constipation due to fiber;
high content of omega-3 fatty acids beneficial influence on brain development, improves memory, reduces signs of depression;
has good prevention against diseases of the cardiovascular system;
helps reduce obesity because of its low calorific value and its properties to absorb large amounts of type and swells, becoming more filling;
helps detoxify the body;
chia hygroscopic properties allow it to be absorbed more fluid and thus retain much of electrolytes: an important feature, especially for people subjected to high loads
no gluten - especially important advantage of seeds for people suffering from gluten intolerance.

We can conclude that the seeds of chia include:
chia is two times more protein than most cereals, is comparable only with oats;
