Chia Seeds as a Whole Food

Cherylanne (Clarksburg, Wv Usa) on 09/02/2011

After reading about chia seed, I purchased a lb bag of them for the omegas. I couldn't believe the vitamins, minerals and amino acid complex in these little seeds. After 2 weeks, I noticed my energy level increasing and I didn't have my usual sugar cravings in the afternoon. My anxiety started going away and I started walking more. It has been almost 2 months and I couldn't be happier with how much better I am feeling. I put a tablespoon of chia in a glass of water about half full then add a little cranberry juice, let it sit a minute, stir it with a spoon and drink this down twice a day. It's a whole food that is loaded with good things.

I agree - Chia totally helps me with anxiety and insomnia, also. I can feel the stress, worry, anxiety, etc. just leaving my body when I take them. It's important to add that you need to soak the chia seeds for at least 2 hours in a glass of filtered room temperature or preferably warm water before eating them - after 2 hours of soaking, they should be refrigerated. Ideally, they should be soaked overnight. There are plenty of videos about the importance of soaking chia seeds on YouTube. Soaking helps the seeds to expand first before ingesting them, making them easier to digest.
