You have all been advised on the benefits of Omega-3 fats, Omega-3's are essential fatty acids, your body can not produce them you need to get them from food, if you aren't familiar with the benefits, just a few include; - stimulation of blood circulation
- reduce blood pressure
- reduce blood triglyceride levels
- reduce risk of heart disease
- reduces inflammation and helps lower risk of chronic arthritis
So you can what the fuss is about with Omega-3's, if you do not get enough symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.
It is recommended that fatty fish (mackerel, sardines, tuna, salmon) are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids but another plant based food full of Omega-3's is the Chai Seed.
Chai Seeds are actually the highest known plant source of Omega-3, it actually has around 6-8 times more than salmon. Not only is it rich in the essential fatty acids it is rich in Vitamins A, B12, C and also very high in protein and fibre.
And problem the best news is that Chai Seeds are easy to use, all you need to do is sprinkle them on your foods you are already eating. You can put them on just about anything as they are tasteless, on top of youghurt, in smoothies, in salads etc.
Chai Seeds were hard to get hold of a few years ago but with the unleashing of its health benefits and mainstream society learning of this you can now get them anywhere, I get mine from the health food section at our local coles.
So if you don't eat Chai seeds next tiem you are at the supermarket grab some, it truely is a superfood.
