Health Benefits Of Chia Seeds:
Considered a superfood, chia seeds have a right nutrient-profile and are considered gluten-free. According to Nutritionist Mehar Rajput, "These miniscule black seeds are loaded with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and various other macronutrients, which help prevent the storage of undesirable fats in our body. These factors not only aid weight loss, but also help promote heart-health. Besides chia seeds also help keep us full for long and manage blood sugar levels in our body."
