Tiny But Mighty
Chia seeds deliver 2,400 milligrams of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) per tablespoon. As mentioned earlier, most Americans consume far more omega-6s than omega-3s, and this imbalance increases disease risk. Eating chia seeds increases the amount of omega-3s and can help restore your EFA balance. Even better, chia seeds are 40% fiber, making them one of the best sources of healthy prebiotics for your gut microbiome, which in turn feeds your immune system and brain with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) they/you need. We’ll have more about amazingly beneficial SCFAs later; for now, remember to chew chia thoroughly, or toss in your blender, for maximum benefits.
