Food As Medicine - Chia Seeds
In this Food As Medicine Post, we are going to explore why Chia Seeds are considered a superfood and how they can benefit our health.
A great source of:
-
Polyunsaturated Fat, Omega 3's
-
Fiber
-
Protein
-
Calcium
-
Phosphorus
-
Zinc
Benefits:
-
Chia seeds have a high content of linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids 60% of the oil in chia seeds comes from these omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3's are beneficial to cardiovascular health.(1)
-
The soluble fiber in chia seeds may help lower LDL cholesterol, they can also help slow down digestion which helps control blood sugar spikes and makes you feel full longer. This can also help with weight control. (1)
-
Chia seeds contain antioxidants that help fight the production of free radicals that can contribute to aging and diseases like cancer. (2)
-
They are a great source of plant-based protein with a minimal amount of calories. A great addition to any plant-based/vegan diet. (2)
-
They are high in nutrients that support bone health. A plus for women like me (50+) looking for ways to support my body as I move into my second half! (2)
As you can see these small seeds pack a huge punch of nutrition. Check out the recipe I included using these babies in a delicious health packed dessert! Grab the recipes HERE.

What I Use In Tina Stinson Wellness
I often get asked, “Why do you use Kajabi to power Tina Stinson Wellness? Is it worth it?”.
Here's why it's the right platform for me (maybe you can relate):I like going to one place, not 10 different companies, to run my business.There's no better tool out there for bringing all pieces of an online business (website, email, funnels, courses, podcast, blog etc.) under one roof, and getting rid of the tech challenges that slow you down.
Kajabi is one tool I've found to help me simplify my process and grow like never before.
