Chia Seeds For Diabetes: One of the healthiest seeds for general health and well-being is chia seed. Despite their tiny appearance, these seeds are remarkably nourishing and health-improving. They contain necessary nutrients including fibre, potassium, vitamins, minerals, and many more for the body's healthy functioning. Although chia seeds are brimming with nutrients, can they help in blood sugar control? Here are some incredible benefits of consuming soaked chia seeds in your meals for overall health. 

Benefits Of Chia Seeds 

Better Bone Health

About one ounce of the seeds provides 18% of your daily required intake of calcium, which is essential for strong bones, muscles, and nerves. Chia seeds provide more calcium than dairy products, gram for gram.

Healthy Digestion

When you consume seeds, their soluble fibre absorbs water, making them expand in your stomach and making you feel fuller for longer. By letting you feel fuller despite eating less, chia seeds can help you maintain a healthy weight.

Chia seeds are one of the finest foods for obtaining healthy, glowing skin because of their abundance of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, calcium, and fibre.

Blood Sugar Control

Fibre in chia seeds may lower blood sugar levels and insulin resistance, which lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, studies have shown that bread with chia seeds causes a lower blood sugar response than regular bread, which helps to avoid excessive blood sugar.

Oral Health

Chia seeds contain calcium, zinc, and vitamin A, which can help to maintain healthy teeth and gums. A healthy diet rich in calcium is essential for strong teeth and bones. Too little calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D can hurt dental and bone health.
