Dieting

Hello everyone,

Have you ever heard of the Chia seed? It is known to be one of the healthiest foods you can add to your diet. As tiny as sesame and pretty much tasteless, you can add it to anything.

Here are a few nutritional benefits.

One ounce (28grams) contains:

11 grams of fibre.

4 grams of protein.

9 grams of fat (although 5 of which are Omega-3s).

18% of the RDA of calcium.

Add it to your porridge in the morning for a filling, healthy breakfast, sprinkle it on your salad for lunch or make a chia pudding for dessert.

All the best,
