Chia
Little is known about chia seeds in our region, although they can be found everywhere. They are classified as the healthiest food in the world. They come from the South America, and were Maya and Aztec’s main food. Actually, ‘chia’ is an ancient Mayan word for ‘strength’. Chia seeds are rich in proteins, hence they help with the regulation of the body weight, they are richer than salmon in omega 3 fatty acids (per gram), and they have a positive effect on diabetes 2.
Treat yourself to at least a tablespoon of chia seeds per day (best for breakfast).
