Do Chia Seeds Have ANY Benefits?!

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about some of the health benefits of chia seeds.


Omega-3s have many benefits, including supporting heart health. Salmon and sardines are among the best omega-3 sources, but what about chia seeds? It’s been said that chia seeds are a better source of omega-3s if you compare them gram for gram, but they don’t contain DHA. Chia seeds contain ALA, and only 0.5% converts into DHA.


Chia seeds have also been compared to eggs. An egg contains around 7 grams of protein, while chia seeds contain 4 grams. The protein found in eggs is the most bioavailable form of protein.


Chia seeds contain vitamin E, vitamin C, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Research suggests that chia seeds are cardioprotective, help lower blood pressure, benefit your brain, and can even help thin your blood.


Chia seeds contain soluble fiber, which is the most significant benefit of consuming them.


To make a healthy chia pudding:

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with ½ cup of milk or unsweetened almond milk.

2. Stir the mixture until the seeds swell and form a gel.

3. Add kefir, berries, Greek yogurt, coconut cream, or nuts.


The gel that forms when you mix chia seeds with liquid is an excellent food for your microbiome. Chia seeds can help with gut inflammation and constipation. They’re also very low in lectins.


Chia seed gel contains polyphenols—plant chemicals that benefit your microbes. A healthy microbiome supports your mood, energy levels, and overall health. Consume chia seeds, fermented vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi regularly for a healthy microbiome.
