1. 2 tablespoons of chia seeds contain 10 grams of dietary fiber. This fiber feeds the good gut bacteria which works to create a healthy microbiome to buffer against stress and maintain your immune system.

2. Just 1 serving of chia seeds contains 6 g of complete protein. This helps to stabilize your blood sugar, build muscle and provide a good source of energy.

3. Chia seeds are a great source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory Omega-3s. Both of these help to promote brain function, heart health and reduce inflammation.

5. Chia seeds are inexpensive and easy to eat! You can make chia pudding, stir them into your yogurt, sprinkle on your salad or toss them in your oats.
