Chia seeds are one of the best sources of fibre. They are fabulous colon cleansers and clear out the digestive tract so that you absorb more nutrients and eliminate waste more efficiently. They also prevent indigestion and heartburn. Chia is a super food for diabetics because it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. Chia seeds are great for weight loss because they easily bulk up the food without changing the taste. Because the carbohydrates release incredibly slowly, they make people feel full for longer. Chia seeds are a good source of Omega 3 EFA’s, protein and calcium. In the East, the goji berry has a long reputation of being one of the most nutrient-rich superfoods on the planet, being linked to greater health, vitality and stamina.
