Daily Dose Of Chia Seeds Work Magic



Chia Plant


I found this article of particularly important for diabetics and for those who are over weight. Or want to maintain their weight.
The chia seed is used for:

- people who crave sweets- it will stop the craving . The seed swells in one's stomach to about seven times their original size and form a kind of gel that digests quite slowly that is ideal for DIETING.

-Drinking extra water is important and helpful to mantain the " NOT HUNGRY FEELING''.

_Because the energy of chia is released so slowly your body will not get the spikes and crashes inherent in regular diets and the urge to bing this is an ideal food for dieting.
