Five Grains that are Healthy and Safe for Celiac Disease Patients

Chia is considered super food because it is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can lessen inflammation, improve brain performance, and lower cholesterol. The following are the other benefits that people can get from this seed.

• Good source of fiber- There are 10 grams of fiber in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds. A person can get one-third of the daily amount of fiber needed in a day from this serving.
• Rich in antioxidants- Aside from fighting cancer-causing cells, the antioxidants found in chia help in having a long storage life. They can be stored for around 2 years without the use of a refrigerator.
• Control in appetite- The blend of protein, fiber, and sticky properties of chia seeds with water gives the feeling of satiety. As a result, food cravings between meals are prevented.
• Less bad cholesterol, more good cholesterol- According to a study in the "British Journal of Nutrition," it shows that chia seeds lower and prevent high triglyceride and cholesterol levels and increase “good” cholesterol known as HDL.
